[General structure] This is the second year of a two-year math program designed to give students a firm mathematical understanding, both academically and spiritually. The curriculum consists of the Student Textbook and the Teacher Guide. The textbook contains the text, and the teacher guide contains all the worksheets, quizzes, and tests, along with an answer key and suggested schedule. [Grade level] This curriculum is aimed at grades 7-8 (pre-algebra); however, there is plenty of material to engage older students as well who want to understand the principles of mathematics from a biblical worldview. Students should have complete Book 1 of this course or have equivalent knowledge before beginning. See the “About This Curriculum” section inside for more information. [Features] Biblical Worldview: Discover how the very existence of math proclaims the faithfulness of God...and experience the joy of using math to explore God’s creation. Solid Foundation for High School Math and Real Life: Don’t let high school math intimidate you! By understanding the principles of math, you’ll be prepared to see the purpose and understand the mechanics of high school math concepts. History, Science, and Real-Life Connections: Explore exponential growth, interest rates, music, force, motion, genetics, and more. Math is much more than meaningless bookwork...and now at last you can learn it that way! [Where to go from here] Upon completion, students should be prepared to begin or return to any high school algebra course.
