The first in a new math series, this Math Moment looks at the incredible consistency math describes–and how that consistency of creation points to the biblical Creator.

The Grand Canyon, Finding Joy in Math, and New Video Supplement
I wanted to quickly share a couple of articles I’ve recently had published. I hope they encourage you in your math journey and remind you to find joy in math as you praise the Creator and see math as a way of exploring God’s handiwork and completing the tasks He’s given you to do. As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments, and please feel free to share these with your friends.
Math, Assumptions, Dating Methods, and the Grand Canyon
On a recent trip to the Grand Canyon, I was reminded of how misunderstood dating methods have become. We hear dates quoted as fact so often that they’re held up as mathematical fact. Few understand that the answer to a math problem is only as accurate as the starting information—and that in the case of dating methods, that starting information is based on unverifiable assumptions.
Finding Joy in Math
If the words “joy” and “math” don’t seem to go together in your mind, please take a look at this article I wrote for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. Math transforms when we look at it from a biblical worldview.
New Video Supplement
The video supplement for Book 2 of Principles of Mathematics is now available to start (I expect it to be completely finished in early 2017).
Back-to-School Math Encouragement and Free Resources
It’s the time of year again where many of you may be heading back to school after a summer break.
Here are some free resources to help encourage/equip you to teach math from a biblical worldview as you go.
- Free Transforming Math Video – Watch this 18-minute video to get a glimpse into how biblical principles really can transform math, making it an exciting exploration of God’s creation. When you sign up for the video, you’ll also get a free read-aloud story that illustrates how often we really do use numbers, and a series of emails with other information and reminders to help you teach from a biblical worldview.
- Math, Lightning, & Thunder – I recently blogged over on The Creation Club about how we can use math to help us approximate the distance to a lightning strike. Even a summer thunderstorm gives us an opportunity to explore God’s creation and marvel at God’s greatness (after all, He’s the one who makes the lightening and brings forth the wind – see Jeremiah 51:16).
- Upcoming Articles – I have articles coming out this fall/winter in both the Old Schoolhouse Magazine and Homeschool Enrichment. If you get either of those magazines, be sure to take a look.
- Sample Lessons – Watch a free preview of a lesson on place value, one on fractions, and one on lines and angles.
