Christ Centered Math

Christ Centered Publications

This program provides a strong Scriptural foundation for arithmetic. Math Workbook A covers beginning number concepts and simple addition and subtraction. Math Workbook B includes number facts up to 20, place values in the 100s, money, time, and fractions. This is a formal program that teaches concepts in sequence with lots of repetition so it can even be used with three- and four-year-olds, covering material up through what is considered first grade level.

It begins with hands-on activity followed by workbook exercises. However, no workbooks are recommended for three-year-olds. At the youngest level the emphasis is not quite so academic but more activity oriented. Colorful Math Flashcards are also available that use animal families and character traits adapted from Bill Gothard’s Character Sketches. The Math Lesson Guides are revised editions that combine drill with plenty of hands-on learning using manipulatives.

Program components may be purchased as part of the complete Christ Centered Curriculum (see the review of Christ Centered Phonics) or individually. Packages of math manipulatives—snap cubes, place value pocket chart, place value sticks, Base Ten Blocks, and a place value mat, and more—are essential to the program at K4s and K5s/B1st levels, although you can purchase individual items if you already own some of the items.

Professor B’s M athematics Power Learning for Children math program is used after first grade level.
