Beginning Math Program

How does your Beginning Math Program differ than others?

Our math program is so saturated with Scripture and its principles that it clearly stands out among others! All Christ-Centered Curriculum materials diligently follow "add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge" (2 Peter 1:5). We teach to children's spirits first (Proverbs 1:7), and then rejoice to see God enlighten each student's academic knowledge as rapidly as individual God-given capabilities allow (Psalm 94:10).

Who should use the Beginning Math Program?

The Beginning Math Program is perfect for children who are just starting out in their math instruction---K4s (4-year-olds), K5s (5-year-olds), or Beginning 1st graders who have never been schooled before. Math Levels A and B teach these basic skills:

• Number concepts 1-20
• Counting to 100 by 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, and 10's
• Before/after
• Greater than/less than
• Numeration
• Missing numbers in sequence
• Addition/subtraction combinations through 18
• Word problems
• Place Value (1's, 10's, and 100's places)
• 2 and 3 digit addition/subtraction
• Fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4)
• Time (hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, 5 minute increments)
• Money (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars, dollars)

How would you describe your program?

Every math concept is taught from its roots in Scripture. We use a "here a little, there a little, line upon line" (Isaiah 28:10) multi-sensory teaching methodology to ensure that all types of learners---auditory, visual, and "hands on"--- achieve success. Each new skill builds upon previous instruction. The spiritual thrust, which has a strong emphasis upon building godly character, shows the beautiful relationship between God and His number system. This is a very unique and exciting program---both spiritually and academically! There are two levels in our Christ-Centered Beginning Math Program---Math Levels A and B.

  • Math Workbook: Level B
    This workbook is especially rich in scriptural truths! As children study place value, they'll learn that just as God designed a dwelling place for Himself amongst men (the tabernacle), He designed a dwelling place for numbers. The study of fractions focuses on giving our "whole" selves to Christ---not just "part." As children learn about time, they'll begin with a brief study of when time began, and then learn what God has to say about our use of time. The study of money has its roots in the barter system in the days of Abraham, weights and measures, and finally coinage in the Old and New Testaments. Instruction on money focuses on what God has to say about true "treasures." Addition/subtraction is then extended through the 18 number family, using a Base 10 method. To see a sample, click here.
