Description
As a hands-on, interactive elementary maths curriculum, Exploring Creation with Mathematics Level 2
was designed to take the student on a journey to learn how numbers help
us describe our world and our universe. In level 2, students dig deeper
into place value, patterns, addition, subtraction, money, time,
measurement, data and graphs, and geometry.
Curriculum Overview
Exploring Creation with Mathematics, Level 2
was designed to cultivate a love of numbers while building on a
student’s ability to use numbers and mathematical symbols. Filled with
activities, projects, and games that help students understand how they
can manipulate numbers as they investigate the world, students will also
see the greater connections between our world and our God.
Continuing a rich introduction to
elementary maths, Level 2 covers adding and subtracting 3-digit numbers,
telling time, manipulating money, and learning more about measurement,
data collection, and geometry, including 3D shapes. Utilizing a mastery
approach, the Exploring Creation with Mathematics Series helps
your student advance strategically through lessons, projects, and
reviews, enabling them to apply the maths they have learned to their
lives.
In this course your student will find:
- Seeing
Our Creator devotionals, at the beginning of each unit, connect the
maths concepts your child will learn to God and His creation
- A
suggested daily schedule, with thoughtful pacing through concepts that
reflect a systematic progression from one skill to the next, is most
important for eliminating frustration
