Calvert Math provides a colorful, secular approach to math.
Starting with teacher-student interaction in kindergarten, the courses progress
towards the student working independently with all instruction written directly
into the student worktexts. Pacing and coverage are traditional, while the
methodology tends to be spiral. All materials have an engaging and appealing
appearance. Preschool has one
student workbook and resource book. Kindergarten has two student
workbooks with oral tests given quarterly. Starting in Grades 1-5, a full-color,
consumable, set of 10 worktexts contain 3-5 sections to complete. Each of the
worktexts will take 3-4 weeks to finish, giving a total of 160-180 daily
lessons that will take around 45 minutes each. Teacher
Editions provide teacher
helps, grading info, record-keeping sheets, alternate unit tests, daily lesson
plans (only in K-1, w/reduced student pages), materials lists, optional
learning activities, reproducible worksheets and alternate tests, and answer
keys. Worktexts provide both textual material and
written response space. Complete Sets include both
Worktexts and Teacher Editions.
