As listed in Rod and Staff's 2011 Catalog
The Mathematics for Christian Living Series is designed with these goals in mind: (1) to emphasize proper Biblical values; (2) to teach useful number facts and skills; (3) to give a balanced emphasis on concepts, computation, and applications; (4) to enable the pupil to do the lessons with a minimum of help from the teacher; and (5) to include reading or reasoning problems that involve a spiritual lesson, a Biblical principle, a challenge, or some usefulness in everyday life.
Number facts and skills are taught by the traditional method. It is our goal to prepare the student to be a laborer in the kingdom of God and to the glory of God. Realistic problems from everyday life are employed. Many of the problems are arranged horizontally, which will help the student to develop mental arithmetic skills.
A strong emphasis is placed on mastery of skills with an endeavor to provide sufficient drill so the average student may accomplish this. Extra practice sheets are included in the form of blackline masters, which may be copied by teachers as needed to give additional drill. Speed drills are provided also, emphasizing accuracy first and then speed.
We believe it is effective to teach one mathematical operation continuously over a several-week period rather than studying one concept today, another tomorrow, and so on and then repeating the cycle.
The pupil's text is included as part of the teacher's guide.
The lessons for the first two grades are in workbook form. Grades 3 and above are reusable hardcover books.
