Charlotte Mason recommended that each student use a gridded notebook for written work during math lessons. You will need a gridded math notebook for each student working through the books in The Charlotte Mason Elementary Arithmetic Series. Using a gridded notebook for math
- Keeps numerals neat and legible by allotting one number per grid square.
- Encourages a habit of precision and accuracy whether in beginning addition or long division. Since the squares in the grid are aligned, place value can easily be seen and checked.
- Creates a neat and concise record of the math concepts your child learned each year.
Math Notebook Features
- Contain 50 pages of grid paper, so you have plenty to work with but they don’t look overwhelming;
- Lie flat for easy use whether your student is left-handed or right-handed;
- Are available in three sizes of grid square—¾″, ½″, and ¼″—so you can select the size that best fits your student’s writing.
Choosing a Grid Size
The emphasis in math lessons should be on math concepts, not handwriting. Yes, expect neatness and precision in keeping with Charlotte Mason’s emphasis on good habits, but be careful that the handwriting does not overshadow the math focus. During math lessons your child should not have to concentrate as much effort on handwriting as on thinking mathematically. Therefore, choose a grid size that will fit your child’s natural handwriting best. If he usually writes quite small, a smaller grid should not be a hindrance or obstacle in math lessons. If he writes larger, allow him to use a larger grid size for math lessons.

Charlotte Mason intentionally included handicrafts in her school schedule. She believed that “another elemental relationship, which every child should be taught and encouraged to set up, is that of power over material. Every child makes sand castles, mud-pies, paper boats, and he or she should go on to work in clay, wood, brass, iron, leather, dress-stuffs, food-stuffs, furnishing-stuffs. He should be able to make with his hands and should take delight in making” (Vol. 3, p. 80). Now it’s easy to add handicraft lessons to your curriculum with Handicrafts Made Simple.

Beautiful thoughts for beautiful penmanship.
More than 200 years ago Letitia Anna Barbauld gave children a beautiful gift: Hymns in Prose for Children. First published in 1781, these hymns—written in prose, not in poetry form—encourage a love and reverence for God by drawing attention to His handiwork, His presence, and His protection. Now you can use these inspiring selections to also encourage good penmanship with Hymns in Prose copybooks.- Nourishes the mind while improving handwriting.—As your child carefully copies these beautiful hymns, he will contemplate great truths about God even as he develops the muscle memory needed for good penmanship.
- Reinforces correct spelling and sentence structure.—Working with Mrs. Barbauld’s well-composed sentences will cultivate an excellent feel for good composition and a practiced eye for correct spelling.
- Supports your choice of handwriting style.—Hymns in Prose copybooks are available in a variety of popular styles. Choose from print or cursive in either Zaner Bloser or D’Nealian style.
- Gently guides beginning writers toward standard notebook paper line width.—The first selections in the book present the words in a more spacious format with larger letters, as is fitting for beginning writers. As your child progresses through the hymns, the letters grow gradually smaller and the lines closer together.
- Reviews words learned in reading lessons.—The selected hymns correspond to the Hymns in Prose for Children reader and optional teacher book. If you are using those resources for reading lessons, these copybooks will provide additional opportunities to review words your child is learning.
