In this 36 week course, preschoolers will not only learn 12 basic character qualities, but see them applied in the everyday life of the Boyer cousins, people from the Bible and real people in American history. Qualities covered are Obedience, Patience, Honesty, Gratefulness, Responsibility, Respectfulness, Self-control, Initiative, Diligence, Kindness, Contentment, and Deference (sharing). It is very adaptable to your schedule and the individuality of your child. I LOVED the preschool years of my children. Hope you will too! My intention in writing this curriculum was to free you up and make it fun for both you and your children, stirring up that God-given love for learning!

Elementary levels of Math-U-See:

Primer:  In the Primer level your child will learn not only how to write numerals but also addition and subtraction, basic counting, skip counting, geometric shapes, telling time, and they will be introduced to the manipulative block system. It’s a gentle introduction to “doing math.”

Alpha: Alpha focuses on teaching the concepts of single digit addition and subtraction. We use systematic teaching strategies to help students commit the addition and subtraction facts to memory.

Beta: Beta builds on the foundation in Alpha by applying students’ mastery of single-digit addition and subtraction to multiple-digit addition and subtraction. One of the stepping stones between these two levels is the concept of place value, which is an important milestone for truly grasping any multiple-digit operation.

Gamma:  Once students have mastered the concepts of addition and subtraction (covered in Alpha and Beta), they are ready for multiplication. Gamma teaches single-digit facts and multiple-digit multiplication skills.

Delta: Division is presented as the inverse of multiplication. Single-digit division facts are learned and the concepts of division and place value are applied when solving long division problems.

Epsilon:  Now that students have learned basic operations with whole numbers,Epsilon covers these same operations with fractions. Fractions are presented in an intuitive way with visual explanations of equivalent fractions, common denominators, and fractions and numbers larger than 1. Fractions and operations are illustrated using our proprietary Fraction Overlay manipulatives.

Zeta: Zeta extends the student’s concept of place value to the right of the decimal point. Students learn to complete core operations with decimals. The connection between fractions and decimals is presented.
