Mathematics: An Instrument for Living Teaching explains step by step how Charlotte Mason taught math in a practical and life-related way from first grade through twelfth, from beginning numbers through algebra and geometry.
In this ground-breaking handbook, Richele Baburina reveals what every parent-teacher wants to know about Charlotte’s approach to teaching math. The detailed explanations are based on extensive research—information gathered from several sources that were used by Charlotte’s teachers and parents, then meticulously compared and compiled with Charlotte’s own words.
Using Charlotte Mason’s methods outlined in this book you will be able to
Teach math concepts in a hands-on, life-related way that assures understanding.
Encourage daily mental effort from your students with oral work.
Cultivate and reinforce good habits in your math lessons—habits like attention, accuracy, clear thinking, and neatness.
Awaken a sense of awe in God’s fixed laws of the universe.
Evaluate and supplement your chosen arithmetic curriculum or design your own.
It’s time to make math an instrument for living teaching in your home school!
Study history, geography, and Bible together as a family!
This year of lesson plans will help the world of Ancient Rome come alive for all your students, grades 1–12. The life of Christ and the events of the early church are studied side-by-side with ancient world history. The study of Rome will take you through many lands as you trace its rise and fall: Italy, Greece, Spain, Macedonia, more of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Older students also complete a study of the book of Romans, which was written to believers in Ancient Rome.
The Charlotte Mason-style lesson plans
Make the ancient world come alive through living books and Bible readings.
Help your students listen attentively and recall what was read by narrating.
Let you teach the whole family together by sharing some books as family read-alouds, then challenging older students with additional reading and writing assignments from other books on the same topic.
Help all your students, grades 1–12, see how Bible events fit into history.
Connect geography to the people who lived there—both past and present.
Keep things simple by providing helpful reminders of upcoming resources, teaching tips, and Book of Centuries entries.
