Exploring Creation with Mathematics: Level 1 Student Text
Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Mathematics: Level 1 Student Text includes a hands-on, interactive approach to math. Filled with activities, projects, and games that help students comprehend lessons, students will see the connections between math, science, business, art, our world, and our universe. Most importantly, students will begin to comprehend how mathematics gives us a glimpse of our Creator.
This course is an introduction to elementary math. Level 1 mathematics ensures that your student has a functional knowledge of addition, subtraction, place value, measurement, data and graphing, and basic geometry. The Apologia Mathematics Series utilizes a mastery approach. Topics connect by using a built-in review with the skills practice sections, while the hands-on projects introduce and reinforce concepts and make learning stick!
The author moves your student through the material following a specific progression and 4-step approach. Each lesson begins with a tangible presentation, then moves through an illustrated presentation of the concept, followed by an abstract presentation, and finishes with an application activity. Furthermore, each of these projects and lessons apply math in a way that connects it to your student’s life.
