More Information
In Math Lessons for a Living Education: Level 4, students learn math through short, engaging stories that connect numbers to real life. In Level 4, a summer spent in Peru has meant a lot of changes for Charlie, Charlotte, and their growing family! Your student joins them as they see new sights on a family trip, explore the role math plays in their adventures, develop important character traits, apply critical thinking skills, and discover how mathematical concepts interact with the world around them.
Practice Makes Perfect: Level 4 builds on that foundation by providing just-right reinforcement for every lesson. With additional worksheets, manipulatives, and quizzes, students will develop a greater mastery of what has been taught, grow in confidence, and practice independent learning skills.
Together, these two complementary resources create a gentle yet thorough math program that supports both guided instruction and growing independence.

Love the Math 4 Suite!
Review by
Charity
We have learned and grown a lot through Math Lessons Level 4 and Practice Makes Perfect 4. We found the Break It Down cards in the back of the lesson book to be extremely helpful although I wish that there were cards for the operations for equivalent and reduced fractions as well. There was not as much explanation in the book as we would have liked for these particular concepts and often the answer key did not show the steps for the fraction equations although the steps for division and longer multiplication are clearly laid out in the answer key thankfully. Hopefully that is an issue that will be fixed in future editions. Aside from that small issue we really liked everything else about this course. The pacing was challenging but gentle. At the beginning of the year my daughter often cried with math because she struggled so much but by the end of the year it was her favorite subject again. I think having the extra practice in Practice Makes Perfect really helped build her confidence as well. We also really enjoyed adding in the video supplement on Master Books Academy because my daughter could work more independently and take more ownership of her learning.
I love this bundle option for purchasing both resources together. Occasionally I have forgotten some of the extras so this is eliminating a friction point for me as I shop!

Our favorite math
Review by
Dustie
Math Lessons for a Living Education is the series that brought my family to Master Books! Our family has used every level of this wonderful series. After having used other curriculum for our older daughter and then making a switch, I can genuinely say it was a breath of fresh air. The lessons are shorter, but that does not mean less academically complete. My children are able to understand the concepts, apply them to real life situations, and narrate back to me how they do the work. I love the bite-sized lessons that are developmentally appropriate and do not lose my children in pages and pages of drill. It is just right to keep their attention and set them up for success.
We also love the story of Charlie, Charlotte, and their family. It is so encouraging. We also enjoy the recipes and other activities, like the quilt in level 2. We’ve made so many precious homeschool memories while using these books.
The addition of the new Practice Makes Perfect books is excellent. I love that they encourage different learning styles and help the kids grasp the concepts in a slightly different way. The extra practice is great. Last year my son kept his practice book in his room and did the extra work for fun. He didn’t see it as a school book. It was just something extra and enjoyable for him.
This is the math I recommend to all my homeschool friends!

Math for every learning style
Review by
JoyfulMommy
Our family has been using Math Lessons for A Living Education since our oldest was in first grade. It has been perfect for our family as it works for all different learning styles - from our artistic and nature-loving ones to more logical thinkers. The story line keeps their interest and brings math applications to life, while reinforcing godly character and worship of the Creator.
This series is designed to be developmentally appropriate, so you will see lighter work loads that build with each level (and graduates of this series are well-prepared for Principles of Mathematics). If we need extra practice with a concept, we pull in some pages from Practice Makes Perfect and the various activities help to reinforce what we are learning. Practice Makes Perfect has also been helpful to keep math skills sharp through the summer!
The only thing I wish were different is math facts memory work. I feel like the facts are introduced in kind of random order, and while there are a lot of prompts to review, it is easy to skip over them since it is not actually written into the curriculum. Obviously that responsibility falls on the teacher, but it would be helpful to have it more thoroughly incorporated. Overall though, I love this series and wish it had been around when I was a child!

Thank you for the bundle!
Review by
Julie
Our family has been using Math Lessons for a Living Education for the last 6 years and we love it! We always use the main text book during the school year and then use the practice book during the summer for review before we start the next level. We’re excited to see that these are offered as a bundle now! My boys enjoy that the lessons are short enough that they don’t get burnt out but theres enough review built into the book that they are able to get a concept down. The practice book helps to make sure there are no gaps in what they’ve learned during the year. We love that it is practical and can be applied to everyday life.

like peanut butter and jelly
Review by
Barbara D.
Both books are great, but together is a perfect match.
The student book is the main part and Practice makes perfect makes it even sweeter.
I can use the tests in PMP for record keeping, or many parts of PMP, while the bulk of the learning and work is in the student book.
I am using this bundle for the second time. My son who needed more practice used it, and my daughter who needs very little practice is using it.
For my son I used PMP for when extra help and practice was needed. For my daughter I use the PMP as a "pre-test" to see what she knows before we cover it.
Amazing how one bundle can work with two totally different learning styles. Both kids also both love the stories in PMP to practice what they have learned in the student book.
Whether the student book, or PMP, there is practical application so math is for real life, and not a checkbox.

Everything you need
Review by
SB
All that you need for math level 4 in one place! Our family has enjoyed the Math Lessons for a Living Education curriculum. The weekly stories add interest and introduce math topics in a practical way. The lessons are short enough to not be overwhelming and the spiral approach ensures that topics are reviewed often. We appreciate the way that math is taught from a Biblical worldview. Adding in the Practice Makes Perfect workbook gives a lot of flexibility for extra math practice where needed - or just for fun! The practice book also contains 4 quizzes meant to be used quarterly. The solutions are provided in the back of the book. This math has been a win for our family!

a bundle of joy!
Review by
Sara G
Yay for bundles! Our family is a big fan of Math Lessons so when they began creating practice sheets we jumped at the chance to try them out. The practice books are a wonderful supplement to the curriculum, it's full of practice activities, games, and hands on projects to take the math concepts the week to the next level. I highly recommend this set!

Solid & manageable, gentle & intentional
Review by
Michele
Solid, building scope and sequence. There is a consistent, straightforward review to keep skills refreshed. We enjoy the storyline, bringing a bit of delight and connection into math (a subject which typically neglects these things). Each day’s work in the student book is a predictable and manageable amount.
One of my favorite things about this curriculum is how topics, especially new, are touched on briefly. A student is not expected to achieve mastery the first day it is introduced and there will be several opportunities for review. Concepts are not hammered in a way that will cause prolonged tears to finish a single day’s assignments because review is interspersed in a way that instills confidence from previously acquired skills. The Practice Makes Perfect extension is a great way to reinforce topics from a different perspective with varying activities, like cut-and-paste, multiplication wheels, fact practice, and story problems with codes to break. I also love the left-brain meets right-brain integration. I always struggled in Math because I needed that connection; I needed to see math concepts in words and think through them. The. Narration and copywork lend so perfectly to helping all types of learners access and retain the information. A parent can always opt to skip parts of a curriculum, but I think we shouldn’t do so before we understand the intentionality behind those parts.
