SynopsisApproach Math with ConfidenceMathematical terms and concepts can seem so complex and intimidating as students begin the transition from Jr High to High School math courses-Katherine Loop's down-to-earth style and conversational tone sets students as ease and reminds them to approach new formulas, terms, and concepts with confidence and an understanding that each simply describe a useful tool we can put we can put to use in everyday life, history, science, art, music, and more!Engaging, Conversational LessonsPrinciples of Mathematics Book 2 focuses on pre-algebra concepts and emphasizes practical application, teaching your student both the 'why' and 'how' of math through engaging, conversational lessons. This approach firms up foundational math concepts and prepares students for algebra in a logical, step-by-step way that helps them understand concepts, build problem-solving skills, and see how different aspects of math connect.Incredibly Faith Building"Every time you solve a math problem, you're relying on the underlying consistency present in math. Any time you see that math still operates consistently, it's testifying that God is still on His throne, faithfully holding all things together." - Katherine LoopIn Principles of Mathematics Book 2, each lesson and exercise leads your student towards understanding the character and attributes of God through the study of math history, concepts, and application.Principles of Mathematics Book 2 goes beyond adding a Bible verse or story to math instruction, it actively teaches and describes how the consistencies and creativity we see in mathematical concepts proclaim the faithful consistency of God Himself and points students towards understanding math through a Biblical worldview.Excellent High School PreparationPrinciples of Mathematics Book 2 lays a solid foundation-both academically and spiritually-as your student prepares for high school algebra! Students will study pre-algebra concepts, further develop their problem-solving skills, see how algebraic concepts are applied in a practical way to everyday life, and strengthen their faith!, Now that you know the core principles of arithmetic and geometry, you're ready to move on to learning advanced skills that will allow you to explore more aspects of God's creation. In Book 2, the focus is on the essential principles of algebra, coordinate graphing, probability, statistics, functions, and other important areas of mathematics. Here at last is a math curriculum with a biblical worldview focus that will help you: Understand why you're learning what you're learning, and ultimately why math matters Apply what you're learning outside a textbook, and, above all, see God's handiwork in math and His creation Firm up the foundational concepts and prepare students for upper-level math in a logical, step-by-step way. Some mathematical terms seem so complex, but don't worry; they're just fancy names to describe useful tools. In Book 2 you'll continue discovering that all of math boils down to a way of describing God's world.
