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. General Recommendations ¾″ grid size for grades 1–2 ½″ grid size for grades 3–6 ¼″ grid size for grades 7–122 GradesGridded Math Notebook 3/4″

Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were good at math…really good. They participated in some of NASA's greatest successes, like providing the calculations for America's first journeys into space. And they did so during a time when being black and a woman limited what they could do. But they worked hard. They persisted. And they used their genius minds to change the world. In this beautifully illustrated picture book edition, we explore the story of four female African American mathematicians at NASA, known as "colored computers," and how they overcame gender and racial barriers to succeed in a highly challenging STEM-based career.Hidden Figures: The True Story of Four Black Women and the Space Race

Reading and Writing
Since students at this young age vary greatly in readiness for reading and writing, Individual Studies, Grade 1, offers two tracks of reading and writing plans: A and B. Select the track that best fits your student and follow that track’s plans throughout the year. Track A—For students who are just starting out to learn to read and write. They know the letters and the sounds and have done some word building with short vowels, long vowels, and a few blends. They may or may not know how to write the letters. Track A plans use Delightful Reading, First Steps, Days Go By, More Days Go By, and Delightful Handwriting. Track B—For students who can already read many words and short sentences and can print letters but need more practice reading and writing to gain fluency. Track B plans use Busy Times, More Busy Times, and A Child’s Copybook Reader, Volumes 1–3.Science
Use any of our SCM living science courses—such as Outdoor Secrets with The Outdoor Secrets Companion, The Pond and Stream Companion, or Learning about Birds with Thornton Burgess—and feel free to combine your children in grades 1–6. These plans will remind you when to do the next science lesson and keep you moving at an enjoyable pace, with some catch-up days included. Journaling a Year in Nature is recommended for nature study.Math
