    Inspire Confidence in Math

    Mathematical terms and concepts can seem so complex and intimidating as students transition from the upper elementary years to Jr High. Katherine Hannon's down-to-earth style and conversational tone sets students at ease and inspires them to approach all those terms and concepts with confidence. She imparts an understanding that each simply describe a useful tool we can put to use in everyday life, history, science, art, music, and more!

    Engaging, Conversational Lessons

    Principles of Mathematics focuses on mathematical concepts and emphasizes the practical application of it. Students learn both the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of math through engaging, conversational lessons. This approach firms up foundational math concepts and prepares students for upper-level math in a logical, step-by-step way. This helps the student understand concepts, build problem-solving skills, and see how different aspects of math connect.

    Incredibly Faith Building

    “Every time you solve a math problem, you’re relying on the underlying consistency present in math. Any time you see that math still operates consistently, it’s testifying that God is still on His throne, faithfully holding all things together.” – Katherine Hannon

    In Principles of Mathematics Book 1, each lesson and exercise leads the student towards understanding the character and attributes of God through the study of math history, concepts, and application.

    Principles of Mathematics Book 1 goes beyond adding a Bible verse or story to math instruction, it actively teaches and describes how the consistencies and creativity we see in mathematical concepts proclaim the faithful consistency of God Himself and points students towards understanding math through a Biblical worldview.

    Exactly what we needed
    Review by Kelli
    This curriculum is put together very well! It's easy to follow and there's plenty of review to help students retain what they've previously learned I love all the quizzes and exams because it I feel like it helps me really gauge how much my son is learning. The practical approach and how each principle applies to everyday life makes understanding so much easier. The Master Books Academy course that you can purchase separately has also been a HUGE help! I definitely recommend adding it as well.
    Great for homeschool moms not confident in math
    Review by Corrie
    As someone who struggled with math in school, I was nervous about math as my son moved toward middle and high school. This curriculum has literally been an answer to prayer. It explains everything thoroughly, but does not overwhelm with too many new concepts at one time. Math used to be an all-day struggle for us using other curriculums, but my son is learning not to fear and dread math now that we are using MasterBooks math.
    thorough and not overwhelming!
    Review by S
    My daughter has tried various math programs and this has by far been the best fit yet. I first used POM with my oldest son who is very math minded and is ahead, and we loved the biblical foundation this math provides and the uniqueness' of this program to bring the Lord into all parts of math and to make it makes sense for my kids biblically. My daughter is not strong in math but this program, paired with the academy videos have been so wonderful for her, not only is she understanding, she is thriving AND enjoying math for the first time.
    Not for kids who are ahead
    Review by Kandi
    We've mostly used Abeka and wanted to try something new. After reading all of the reviews I decided to give it a try. My son and I didn't like this math curriculum at all. My son got bored and wanted something else. I was trying to keep him motivated and just push through, but he hated it. We tossed it and bought Abeka again. I wanted to like it... But, I didn't.

    Review by Nikki
    I love the POM for my sixth grader. Things in math that I didn’t totally grasp as a child, have been made much clearer by learning the principles behind the math. Definitely grateful I went with this for my child.
    great!
    Review by Anonymous middle schooler
    I enjoyed it a lot. helpful and easy to grasp. all concepts build over time very well. no problems. the only thing, some of the problems are not solved correctly and give the wrong answer. it happened very rarely. great!
    Good cirriculmn
    Review by Morgie
    My kid struggles heavily with math. There is alot of reading and I thought it would be a little overwhelming but so far so good. We are going to push through and I love that they put God even in the math lessons
    My kid is excelling with this course!
    Review by Anika
    To begin, I am not great at math and I've worried about how to teach my kid with my limitations. My daughter went through POM1 in 7th grade and is is excelling in math. Even if I don't 100% get it, the book walks us through it and we figure it out together. She's great at math, but this course is definitely bringing her above grade level.
    Awesome for our 10th grader!
    Review by Shun
    Our son has excelled using this math book! I was worried that he would be overwhelmed with this curriculum since math has been a challenge for him since elementary school. We began homeschooling when he was in middle school but this year with this math book he has grown leaps and bounds. His understanding has opened up! The pace of the lessons, the way the material is broken down, the concentration of biblical application of math, have all increased his confidence. We were not able to do the second book and will be moving on to Algebra 1, but since using the book and the Master Books Academy Video lessons I know he will be ready!
    Perfect for struggling math learners and strong math kiddos alike!
    Review by Kristal
    I LOVED this book. My 7th and 8th grade girls did this together this year. My 7th grader is good at math and my 8th grader is not (and doesn't want to be). I was a bit concerned but the year went great and they learned so much! The lessons are very comprehensive, there is an option to add Masterbooks Academy but we did not need it. Even my daughter who struggles with math caught on quicker than I anticipated and both girls did really well.
