Teaching Method
Traditional
Teacher-centered curriculum commonly used in classrooms that may include a text, teacher manual, tests, etc.
Charlotte Mason
A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.
Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.
Other
Other methodologies
Religious Content
Secular
Contains content contrary to common Christian beliefs (i.e. evolution).
Neutral
Avoids religious or theoretical topics or presents multiple viewpoints without preference.
Christian/Religious
Faith-based or including instructional religious content.
Learning Modality
Auditory
Learns through listening, talking out loud or reading out loud.
Visual
Learns through seeing, prefers written instructions and visual materials.
Kinesthetic/Tactile (Hands-On)
Learns through moving, doing and touching.
Multi-Sensory
Curriculum that employ a variety of activities/components.
Presentation
Sequential
Curriculum progresses through well-defined learning objectives. Emphasizes mastery before moving to the next topic.
Spiral
Topics and concepts are repeated from level to level, adding more depth at each pass and connecting with review.
Conceptual/Topical
Focus is on the “why,” often with a unifying concept as well as specific skills; coverage may be broader.
Teacher Involvement

Student-led materials; parent acts as a facilitator.
Medium Teacher Involvement
A mix of teacher-led time and independent student work.
High Teacher Involvement
Teacher-led lessons; may utilize discussions, hands-on activities and working together.

Description
Elementary Mathematics Book 5 offers parent-child interactive lessons with a greater focus on independent work. Lesson length is 30 minutes, with 5 minutes of dedicated oral mental math expected. Concrete objectives are used less, as students are guided toward more abstract understanding. The authors recommend that Elementary Mathematics Book 5 and the Charlotte Mason Practical Geometry Book 1 be used concurrently, with arithmetic taught four days per week and geometry one day per week. Three exams, one for the end of each term, are included. A grid notebook (1/2” or alternative) is strongly encouraged. Other recommended supplies include a personal chalk or dry-erase board, place value chart, ruler and measuring tape, drawing compass, meter stick, analog clock, and a few household items. Number Sentence Cards are optional. Book 5 begins with a review of Book 4, then covers multiplication and division of decimals and mixed decimals, drawing plans to scale, perimeter of polygons, greatest common measure, factors and factoring, least common multiple, reducing and simplifying fractions, improper fractions, addition/subtraction of fractions and mixed numbers, and more.
Publisher's Description of Charlotte Mason Elementary Arithmetic Book 5
You and your child are sure to enjoy these simple, lively elementary math lessons that nurture mathematical thinking and help your student advance in understanding decimals and fractions, working with factors, and both greatest and least common measures. Your student will also continue work with drawing to scale along with measures in decimals and fractions, using both the US standard and metric systems.
With Book 5, the recommended schedule changes from every day to four days per week. For the fifth day, a hands-on geometry lesson should be completed from Charlotte Mason Practical Geometry, Part 1. These weekly geometry lessons give the student experience with mathematical tools such as a compass and protractor, and guide the student in understanding foundational ideas in geometry. This hands-on approach develops the student’s comfort with the mechanics of tools, drawings, and geometrical concepts before formal geometry and proofs are introduced. We suggest that 5th grade students work on arithmetic Monday through Thursday, with Friday reserved for practical geometry.

Category Description for Charlotte Mason Elementary Arithmetic
Based on the writings of Charlotte Mason in her timeless classic, Home Education, Charlotte Mason Elementary Arithmetic offers a parent-child interactive approach to mathematics that lays a strong foundation for middle and high school math courses.
The approach emphasizes guided exploration through primarily oral math lessons to engage young minds. Lessons are sequential, with a small amount of daily review built in. Elementary Mathematics emphasizes a slow and carefully graduated approach to mathematics where students fully grasp concepts before moving on. Lessons are intentionally short (no fluff!) at 20 minutes per day (30 minutes for Levels 4–6). Parents are encouraged to work through each book at their child’s pace. For those needing more support, there is a suggested pacing schedule that divides lessons into three 12-week terms. Beginning in Book 2, there are three end-of-term exams included to ensure student mastery of concepts. Also beginning with Book 2, there are 40–50 pages of optional review exercises for students needing more practice to master concepts. Books 2–6 would also be an excellent tool for reteaching vital concepts that older learners haven’t mastered, as the lessons are interactive, interesting, and short. Household items and select manipulatives are used to build conceptual understanding.
Required for each year is the hardcover non-consumable Textbook and a notebook (grid notebooks are recommended). Answer Keys are included. Household items are primarily used for manipulatives, although Number Sentence Cards are suggested. Parents may be able to create their own using index cards. See individual descriptions for more information.
