It’s still hard for me to grasp the reality that it’s actually done. Writing this math curriculum has been an amazing journey, fraught with unexpected delays (such as a concussion that left me unable to work much on it for more than a year) and challenges. Yet as I look back, I see God’s provision each step along the way.
Thank you, dear readers, for being a part of that provision—for your prayers and your encouragement. I can’t tell you how much it has meant to me. (And please don’t stop praying! I’m still working on Year 2…which is due to come out late this year/early next.)
We decided to extend our pre-order pricing for a little longer, so you can still grab the curriculum at a reduced price you’d like a copy.
Also, I’ll be speaking at a couple of upcoming conventions and would love to see you there (I’ll be at the Master Books booth).
Here are the details:
Virginia – HEAV’s Virginia Homeschool Convention
June 11-13, 2015
Arizona – AFHE Home Education Convention
July 10-11, 2015
As you begin planning for next fall’s school year, don’t let the thought of math scare you. Math is a way of describing God’s creation—it’s a testimony to His faithfulness, wisdom, and greatness. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out this short video I made a couple years ago for a quick reminder of how math can be seen from a biblical worldview. This version includes an ending I recently added that offers a quick overview of the curriculum too.
I am the secondary school math teacher at the small Parkhill Christian Academy in Pueblo, Colorado. I have reviewed the new “Principles of Mathematics: Year 1” text and work books. I have found these books to be superior in content, including text, figures and illustrations. Most importantly, the books integrate the Christian worldview in a way much superior to others I have used or reviewed. They are an excellent “bridge” for our 7th graders between the BJU (Bobby Jones University) 6th grade and Pre-Algebra texts.
I think the Year 1 book is much superior to the BJU “Fundamentals of Math” text for 7th grade, which is essentially a duplicate (except for the order of the chapters) to the BJU “Pre-Algebra” text.for 8th grade. I have asked our Academy principal to review the new Year 1 text and work books, along with a recommendation to purchase the texts for our expected four incoming 7th graders. Hopefully the special introductory pricing will still be available if the principal elects to proceed
