Times Tales is a creative, innovative, mnemonic-based program that makes it fun and easy to memorize the upper multiplication and division facts. Cute, simple stories provide students with a “memory peg” that allows them to quickly and easily recall otherwise abstract facts. Times Tales covers the most difficult to remember facts that can’t quickly be calculated by skip counting: 3×6,3×7,3×8,3×9,4×6,4×7,4×8,4x 9,6×6,6×7,6×8,6×9, 7×7,7×8,7×9,8×8,8×9,9×9.

Students are introduced to each number as a “character.” For example, the number seven is Mrs. Weeks because there are seven days in a week. Once students learn the number characters, they learn short, simple stories where the numbers interact in some fashion. Students simply picture two number characters together to recall the story, which includes the answer to the multiplication fact. It’s amazing how much easier it is for students to recall a simple story, than an abstract fact!

There are 4 books in the series:

Volume 1:  Who Is God? And How Can I Really Know Him?

Teach your elementary students how to use Scripture to view the world from God’s perspective with this engaging curriculum. As they learn the basics of the Christian faith—about who God is, who we are, sin, redemption, and more—they’ll be equipped to discern the truth among competing cultural messages and stand strong for what they believe!

Volume 2:  Who Am I? And What Am I Doing Here?

What gives a person value? What provides purpose for a life? Who Am I? And What Am I Doing Here? helps children understand what it means to be made in the image of God. This is the second volume in Apologia’s What we Believe Worldview series.

Volume 3:  Who Is My Neighbor?

Volume 3 in Apologia’s What We Believe series, Who is My Neighbor? And Why Does He Need Me? helps children understand how to live as Christians who are salt and light in the world, in their country, in their family, and in their lives wherever they go.

Volume 4:  What On Earth Can I Do?

Volume 4 in Apologia’s What We Believe series, What on Earth Can I Do looks at what being a good and faithful servant means to your kids. Designed around a notebooking concept, this study provides opportunities for your children to ponder who God is, the talents they’ve been given, how to use them for his glory, and more. Each lesson includes a main topic, learning objectives, short story, thought-provoking questions, vocabulary, and more.

Ages 6 to 14.

This course teaches through four high-interest “text” booklets, which provide a study of the major world authors who were “firsts” in their fields of philosophy, politics, science, religion, drama, poetry, and novels from the Dark Ages into Modern Times, with an emphasis on oral cultural traditions and literary characteristics.

Four activity books correspond to each text, and include fill-in-the-blank, true/false, multiple choice, and matching type questions that test the student’s knowledge of the concepts and Life Principles taught in the texts.

Non-reproducible pages, stapled bindings, paper covers. Suggested for Grades 12 remedial. Designed to cover one year. 4 Texts, 4 Activity Books, and 1 Teacher’s Resource Packet included.

TruthQuest History puts God back at the center of the past.
Centered on “living books,” this creative approach to history integrates elements of both Charlotte Mason and Classical methods.
Short, very informal introductions are written directly to the student and open up each topic with a distinctly Christian perspective. Suggestions for activities or writing exercises are often included as well. The booklists follow, with selected annotations on what pages or sections to read and appropriate grade levels for each entry. Incredibly flexible in nature, families can proceed at the pace that’s best for their students as they select “spines,” biographies, in-print books, and out-of-print classics from the extensive lists.

Proceeding chronologically, entries include lists for Alexander Hamilton, War of 1812, Industrial Revolution, Black Hawk War, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, the Civil War, John Mosby, George Meade, and other relevant unit-study topics.

Grades 1-5; may be adapted for younger or older siblings. 150 pages, softcover, spiral-bound.

Full resource list is included at the back of the book.

We’re Homeschool Spanish Academy! We teach Spanish online, 1-on-1 via Skype with native Spanish-speaking instructors based out of Guatemala. We get our students to fluency by teaching them grammar, reading, and writing, but more importantly, we allow our students to actually apply the language through actual conversation inside and outside of class from day 1.
