Mathematics Programs Associates' new and improved Developmental Mathematics is the curriculum highly recommended in Cathy Duffy's Christian Home Educators Curriculum Manual, Mary Pride's The Big Book of Home Learning, Rebecca Rupp's The Complete Home Learning Source Book, and Ted Wade's The Home School Manual. Developmental Mathematics is the product of decades of research and testing in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. It is composed of a complete workbook series progressing, Level by Level, through the basic elements of arithmetic into the beginnings of algebra. As a self-teaching program, Developmental Mathematics is ideal for self-paced learning, both accelerated and remedial.
Developmental Mathematics is a number learning program that starts with counting, and guides the student into advanced math disciplines. It deals with numbers as they evolve. It presents the number as a concept, how it is read and written, and then teaches all facts and computational skills in which it is involved. When all work with a certain type of number is exhausted, a new type is brought into the focus of study.
Each fact or computation is presented as a problem to be solved, and then the student is guided to see, and participate in, how the fact is derived and how the computation is built. The learner is trained to use acquired knowledge in generating new knowledge, which is the essence of mathematical thinking. In this manner, the students knowledge is consolidated as a coherent body, rather than a collection of unrelated facts and skills.
Level 4 covers the concepts and symbols of ten, twenty, thirty, ..., ninety using the 36 addition facts and 45 subtraction facts with tens. Student workbook only. Levels are not grade-specific.
