Math Lessons For A Living Education Level 1 (Paperback)

Have you ever noticed that we tend to compartmentalize when teaching our children? In real life, there aren’t artificial barriers between “subjects”. For example, when you are cooking or baking, you have to use the skills of reading, logical thinking, and measuring, just to name a few. In driving a car, you see and read road signs, read maps, and count miles. It has become quite clear that there is an abundance of math curriculums available that are nothing but monotonous drill sheets dressed up in pretty colors. Pretty colors do not make a living book. Content, story, and the ability to show math in real life make a living math book. Math Level 1:
• Teaches math lessons through the creative means of a life story
• Provides a link for the downloadable answer key
• Has a scope and sequence that contains learning numbers 0 to 100, circles and patterns, counting and addition, days of the week, and telling time.

This book was written to be used by you and your young student together. It is the story of a twin brother and sister, Charlie and Charlotte, who are visiting their grandparents’ farm. They soon learn that the farm is full of learning opportunities! As you read their story, your students will be drawn into the adventure along with the twins. They will learn about numbers, shapes, place value, adding, and subtracting. They will also learn about gardening, baby animals on the farm, nature, and the love of family. They will hear exciting stories from Grandpa and Grandma, and they will be invited to join the twins on their living math adventures. We hope you have a grand time on this adventure!
Even as a child, I was always writing...scribbling poetry instead of doing math homework, penning epistles to friends instead of scripting book reports, and concocting tales "from yesteryear" instead of studying for that dreaded Spanish exam. When I wasn't writing something, you probably would have found me reading historical novels or drawing horses.
As an adult, I have taught my four children at home for seventeen years and written and illustrated more than 20 books.
In 2009, I began to write my history series, A Living History of Our World, and added the much-loved math series, Math Lessons for a Living Education in 2010. In early 2015, I dived into the adventure of owning my own publishing company, Jellybean Jar Publications. I also work with Master Books of New Leaf Publications.
