Charlotte Mason’s beginning math lessons seem to be tailor-made for an early elementary child.

Lessons are mainly oral and are carefully graduated, with your child answering small word problems within their understanding (no reading required). They work out the problems in a hands-on way using a variety of common, everyday objects. This straightforward but interesting teaching guides your children to make discoveries on their own.

Product Description

A grid notebook is used as the student’s math notebook, in which they record the math concepts that were discovered. Writing is used sparingly, so the effort of handwriting does not overshadow the math concept being grasped.

The progression of the lessons is adjusted to the pace that fits your child best, so you can go slowly enough to build understanding and comfort in the math concepts but not so slowly that the child becomes bored.

Short, lively lessons reinforce a habit of concentrated attention while not overtaxing the child’s ability to sit still. Each day’s work goes no longer than 20 minutes, with fifteen minutes focused on the newest math concept and the remaining five for review.
