5 Key Components to Exploring Creation with Mathematics, Level 1

This curriculum is designed around five key components essential to a successful elementary math program. These components were designed based on the author's experience as a math teacher in both the homeschool co-op and school classroom settings:

  • FUN! The design of each lesson and the carefully crafted activities present math as an accessible and exciting subject. If students are flipping ahead to see what's next, they will bring enthusiasm and openness to each new lesson. These positive emotions make it easier for their brains to soak up the content.
  • Skills Practice. At the elementary level, a sizable part of the content includes math facts that must be memorized. Other skills must be rehearsed over a longer period of time for mastery to occur. Main skills are introduced in each lesson and strategically practiced 5-10 minutes a day. Click the button below to read more about skills practice in Apologia Math for elementary grades.
  • Christian Connection. Each unit in Exploring Creation with Mathematics begins with a Seeing Our Creator section that connects God to the concepts the student will be learning. Math is part of creation, and it mirrors aspects of God's character; His beauty, faithfulness, and love can all be seen when studying math.
  • Carefully Crafted Conceptual Content. The progression of each unit is carefully mapped out to offer just the right level of challenge each day. At the end of each unit, students apply what they learned to the fields of art, science, or business through a cumulative project.
  • Ease of Use. The structure is simple: each day, complete the lesson & skills practice on the daily schedule. The answer key contains the answers, teacher's notes, suggestions for the lessons, and reusable pages you need to complete the course.
