LIFEPAC MATH OVERVIEW
The language of mathematics is spoken in almost every discipline. LIFEPAC Gold's math curriculum takes your students from introductory arithmetic to algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and calculus. Your home school is the perfect format for mastering math, and LIFEPAC Gold gives you the tools you will need for success.
LIFEPAC mathematics provides practical instruction in mathematical concepts. The curriculum is characterized by practice and application of basic math concepts and skills as well as advanced math concepts.
Illustrated examples and step-by-step problem solving accompany each
new math concept as it is introduced.
Memorization and drill exercises are integral to successful learning of basic math facts and computational skills.
Students master each skill before moving on to the next.
Challenging students to demonstrate both spiritual and academic growth, LIFEPAC Gold is the foundation of Alpha Omega's Bible-centered home school curriculum. Within each of the five core subjects - Bible, Language Arts, Mathematics, History, & Science - the curriculum is organized into convenient workbook/textbook "worktext" units.
MASTERY LEARNING
This full-color worktext curriculum for students in grades K through 12 is based on the principle of mastery learning, in which students truly master the content and skills of one unit before progressing to the next. Different students learn at different speeds, so mastery learning ensures success by allowing each student to spend as much time as he needs in a particular subject area before moving on.
Students achieve mastery learning through LIFEPAC Golds systematic review of learned concepts at three levels. First, each new concept or skill is reinforced within the LIFEPAC worktext in which it is introduced. Second, concepts and skills are integrated across all five core subjects in the curriculum. And third, mastered material is treated as the building blocks of new material at the higher grade levels.
Many specific LIFEPAC Gold Curriculum activities and questions require students to go beyond simple objective recall, asking them instead to think analytically and draw conclusions that require a conceptual understanding of the material.
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
As your child's teacher, you guide your student through LIFEPAC Gold's pre-designed lesson plans, pacing the material and creating the spontaneous learning opportunities that make home schooling so effective. You chart your child's academic growth through parent-directed activities, self-tests and final unit tests.
REINFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES
The use of independent projects to reinforce learned concepts is an important part of the LIFEPAC Gold Curriculum. Projects stimulate creativity and imaginative thought, and provide the student an opportunity to use and demonstrate the skills he has learned. The student is allowed freedom to explore and conduct his own research, but remains accountable to the teacher. This challenges the student to think and helps him develop independent learning skills and self-discipline.
ORDERING FLEXIBILITY
LIFEPAC's are conveniently packaged to meet the needs of home schoolers on a budget. You save money by purchasing the Complete Boxed Sets for each subject and grade level. These include everything you need for the entire school year in one convenient package.
LIFEPAC WORKTEXT BOOKS
The LIFEPAC booklet is the basic unit of Alpha Omega's worktext curriculum. Ten LIFEPACs constitute a full year's study in one subject. Each LIFEPAC takes about 3 to 4 weeks to complete.
Complete boxed sets for each grade level include 10 full-color LIFEPAC worktexts for each subject for students to complete plus a 2 part Teacher's Guide. The Teacher's Guide includes a synopsis of every LIFEPAC, a complete answer key and test keys, plus helpful tips on managing your home school.
