Math Curriculum

Mathematical Reasoning helps children devise strategies to solve a wide variety of math problems. This book emphasizes problem solving and computation to build the math reasoning skills necessary for success in higher level math and math assessments. This book is written to the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The Beginning 2 book is a complete curriculum for children of age 4. These highly effective activities take children far beyond drill-and-practice by using step-by-step, discussion-based problem solving to develop a conceptual bridge between computation and the reasoning required for upper-level math. Activities and units spiral slowly, allowing children to become comfortable with concepts but also challenging them to continue building their math skills.

In this text, algebra and trigonometry are presented as a study of special classes of functions. In the process, relationships betwen theory and real-world applications are thoroughly explored, bringing the material to life. Suitable for a second-year course, a trigonometry course, or a pre-calculus course.

Two children play several games of chance trying to figure out what is mathematically fair.
