Christ-Centered Math Is Uniquely Scriptural!
Christ-Centered Math derives its teaching content from mathematical truths rooted in Scripture. For example, the first thing God did in Creation week was to add something to the nothing that existed—the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). Because addition is the basis of all other mathematical operations, the Level A lessons begin by introducing addition concepts 1-10. Since our Creator also counted when He numbered the days of the week, as Math Workbook A students learn number concepts 1-10 (“how many,” number identification, and number recall), they will count pictures of some things God made during Creation week.
Christ-Centered Math Builds Godly Character!
Math lessons A, B, and C include CHARACTER TRAINING TIPS related to the animal families of the Christ-Centered Math Flashcards 1-10 Set which is included in the Math Master Guide (Part 500). In addition, through interesting stories plus Scripture songs and hymns on the Animal Stories CD, children are encouraged to ask Jesus to develop the following godly traits in them as well:
- ONE Penguin–Generosity
- TWO Deer–Flexibility
- THREE Bear–Loyalty
- FOUR Beaver–Orderliness
- FIVE Skunk–Courage
- SIX Badger–Decisiveness
- SEVEN Chickadee–Joyfulness
- EIGHT Crow–Responsibility
- NINE Squirrel–Endurance
- TEN Moth–Determination
Note: The story illustrations and character quality definitions were adapted from Character Sketches Vol. I and II (used by permission from the Institute in Basic Life Principles).
