Description
Compiled Math Resources
Overview of Math Approaches
- Conceptual curriculum teaches why math works the way it does. It likely includes hands-on manipulatives for the younger ages.
- Procedural curriculum focuses on how to do the math.
- Mastery curriculum focuses on one topic at a time and is organized in a certain way.
- Spiral curriculum teaches math in smaller chunks and rotates through the topics.
LutheranHomeschool.com does not take any sort of stance over what math is “best.” Instead, we trust God to raise our children through a variety of ways!
Supplemental Math Material
Still, here are some supplemental books that have been suggested. Some are for adults, some for children. I don’t know that any are written by Lutherans. Still these can very much be used as part of a patchwork to offer your own Lutheran curriculum package at home.
