What is the purpose of mathematics? That is the question students seek to answer as they work through this Pre-Algebra course. While focusing on the design and order of creation, students learn about the tools necessary to understand, manage, and enjoy God’s creation. The satisfaction students gain from truly understanding higher level concepts such as geometric transformations, functions, and linear relationships bolsters their confidence as they head toward high school math. This course guides students through the exploration and application of mathematical concepts for real-world situations. It provides opportunities to stretch their minds, practice mathematical skills, and explore mathematical rules, properties, and principles. It also encourages students to use their God-given intellects to discover unknown mathematical truths in the world around them and apply those truths to the practice of proper biblical stewardship.
