More Information
For years, Christian math books have looked basically like secular textbooks, with the addition of a Bible verse here or there. Here, at last, is a book to help you transform your math class and show your child God’s handiwork in math!
This manual, which is used by colleges, schools, homeschools, and co-ops alike, will help you modify and “fill in the gaps” in your homeschool math curriculum. Revealing Arithmetic will help you:
- Teach math from a biblical worldview.
- Worship the Lord in math.
- Help your child really understand concepts.
- Train your child to think mathematically.
- Transform everyday activities and objects into math lessons.
- Teach your child to use math as a real-life tool.
- Explore historical methods and symbols.
How to Use Revelaing Arithmetic
The book is divided into chapters by concept. Use as a resource with your math curriculum to teach the foundational math concepts of counting, place value, addition, subtracting, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, precents, ratios and exponents.
- The first part of each chapter presents the “big picture” of the concept, explains why these principles work and what they reveal about God.
- Then, the second part—Teaching Suggestions & Ideas—provides key points to convey, along with examples. The chapters end with an Ideas section providing various ways to reinforce and apply concepts in different real-life situations—including making an abacus, determining animal feed amounts, getting grocery items, planning a trip with estimating, and more.
You can skip around as needed to match what your curriculum is teaching. If you’re covering place value right now with your child, skip to the Place Value chapter and use the background and ideas there to help you teach place value.
Older students can use from beginning to end as a review. The first part of each chapter that explains the concepts from a biblical worldview are going to be what they need to read; you might also have them work some of the problems marked with a big “H" (The H symbol identifies possible older student activities).
Who is Revelaing Arithmetic For?
This book is designed for homeschool parents needing a simple math guide to use alongside their curriculum and help them teach arithmetic to elementary students, older students needing a review of math basics before moving on to advanced mathematics, or Christian school or co-op teachers (or future teachers) wanting ideas on how to modify the curriculum to better reveal the truth of a Creator God.
Now Revealing Arithmetic is even easier with video instruction. These videos offer guided instruction to help you teach counting, place value, multiplication, division, fractions and more. You can even watch the first chapter for free. Learn more at masterbooksacademy.com
Customer Reviews
I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to understand how math is not outside of God's world, it is dependent on Him.
From counting to addition and subtraction all the way to multiplication and division and fractions and everything in between, Katherine Loop Hannon shows how math shows the evidence of God’s hand in it.
Written in a very conversational way, I love reading this book with my young children as we begin to learn a new concept. We love to see how the connection of the new concept is made to the Bible, as well as playing around with the activities that are provided in the teaching suggestions and ideas section.
Definitely a great book to read on your own to see how math is connected to a biblical worldview as well as a great one to go through with kids of all ages.
I really enjoyed how it went through every principle of elementary arithmetic. It is a valuable tool whether your child is just beginning school, or needs a refresher later in their school years. I will definitely continue to reference this book in the future as we learn new concepts.
Math is not my strong point, but this book has equipped me to feel more confident in teaching my kids math. In addition, I have a greater appreciation for math as a way to see God’s greatness. I think this is a great supplement for all parents, and a good read to help older kids see both math and God in new ways.
