Exploring Creation with Mathematics Level 1 Book Extras
Will there be a Level 7? If not, what math do you recommend after level 6 if the child is not taking pre-algebra in 7th grade?
No plans for a Level 7 yet. There are a couple of good options for a transition math between Level 6 and Pre-algebra. I taught a Middle School Math class at my co-op using a book by UCSMP. There is an online class that is similar to what I taught at Debra Bell's Aim Academy.
We are now doing the addition facts skill practice. I am wondering if these facts should be memorized before moving on? Or do I move on with the curriculum even if my child still needs to count on fingers to get the answer.
That can go either way. Which unit are you in? Some times I recommend that parents pause for 1-2 weeks to work on shoring up the facts before continuing. But if you pause too long sometimes students get frustrated.
@@homeschoolmathmom We are on lesson 44. We practice the math facts every day and she is counting on her fingers for every fact except the facts that equal 10.
@@simplyjoyfulhomeschool8627 Ok, I have some thoughts. Are you on other platforms where I could message more easily? On Instagram I am @homeschoolmathmom and on Facebook book I am @kathrynmgomes
Great advice! Thanks for sharing 😊
Glad it was helpful!
What a great list! Thanks for sharing!
Love this!!!
Ok, I have to ask- will you be writing a similar style book for Pre-Algebra? :)
What a great resource! Thank you for making this Kathryn!
Ahh, I’m so excited to incorporate Apologia Math next year. My kids will be level 1 and 3. I just think they are going to LOVE the activities and I’m already stoked for the projects. And I love that you are still tying it back to our Creator. Do you have tips for doing math with two kiddos? Do you just stagger the lessons?
So its impossible to claim the square with number "7" if you are using a pair of dice.
True! We didn't notice that.
Where did you get the board? I would like to get one. It looks so much fun to play

What do you recommend after level 6? Are they ready for pre-algebra?
Yes, many kids will be ready for pre-algebra. Some students may want to take one more year to shore up some skills, but all the prerequisites for pre-algebra have been covered in levels 1-6.
@@homeschoolmathmom thank you!
About how long does each lesson take in Level 5 and Level 6 for the average child?
At that level I would expect it to take about 45 minutes. Obviously it varies depending on the kid and the lesson. But 45 minutes should cover the skills practice time and the lesson.
My 5th grader really loves her Math but I would love to use Apologia Math for the games. Is there an option to buy the games as a stand alone?
No, there isn't a stand-alone option. But I have heard from families that have bought the program just for the games.
We are so excited for this release!
Yes to the older kids still needing activities and some fun! It is so rare to find upper levels of math with this included! Thank you for making that important for Apologia math. :) I’m so excited to use level 6 next year!
Yes, I feel like a lot of times we drop all the fun as kids get older. But the older kids want to have fun too!
My son is only in first grade and this is our first year homeschooling but I truly LOVE apologia math and my son does too. We are almost done with level 1 and it has been sooo much fun! I can’t wait to continue through the next levels. I can’t say enough good things about apologia math ❤
Yay! I am so happy to hear that. And we appreciate you spreading the word so much.
Do you ever utilize the 10 frame that math with confidence uses? I'm really debating b/t these 2 curriculums. How does this one teach memorization of the addition and subtraction math facts? We are already doing a curriculum that is "drill and kill" with flashcards and a million math problems per day to "teach" the kids to memorize the problems. Really looking for something more fun and something that will help the math facts stick.
Yes. The ten frame is incorporated in level 1. For the memorization of facts I have the kids learn them in groups or families. Also, most of the practice is done through games. I am allergic to "drill and kill" :)
@homeschoolmathmom great to know, thank you!! Emily
Curious if they are only going to level 6 what would be used for grade 7? Would you have to find something else for that gap year before pre-algrebra? Or would they be ready for pre-alg. I am interested im using this math but I don't want to find a different math program for grade 7 and then another for pre- algebra and above.
This is a great question. A strong math student can go right from Math 6 into Prealgebra. But some students will benefit from another year of review if they don't have all their skills solidified (mainly fractions, decimals, and percents). I wanted students to be able to complete Algebra 1 in 8th grade if they wanted too. So there aren't any gaps between Math 6 and Prealgebra.
We're so excited to release Math, Level 6 this spring!
Love your video. I would love to partner with you and receive a copy of your math 4 for exchange of our honest review. I think it would be great for my daughter to have a hands on approach with math. She loves games and we have just struggle the last couple of years of finding a math that was the right fit for her. She was watching a flip through of this math and was excited and that said a lot to me. We would love to use this in our homeschool and I would love to send you a video of her using it and giving her opinion on it. That way you could share it for us. Just let me know if that is something you wouldn't mind doing. Thank you.
Hi! Sorry I missed this comment when you first posted it. If you'd still like to partner I would reach out to @apologiaworld about Math 4. Thanks!
That would be great. Thank you.@@homeschoolmathmom
The book extras are such a great resource!!
Looks like some great resources for your preschooler. I’m still figuring out how to engage our preschooler while helping the older kids. It’s definitely a juggle. Just subscribed by the way. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and would love to be friends and connect here 😊
The preschooler challenger is one of the biggest challenges in homeschooling! But having something specifically for her has helped.
I just subscribed! I love your channel.
Thanks ms gomes
These videos are really helpful! I forgot about some of the games, we need to revisit them.
There are so many games and resources provided by Apologia that I feel like it is easy to forget or miss something. My hope is that the video let's busy parents quickly watch at double speed and see a bunch of options.
nice
great
👍
Thank you, so helpful! Can't wait to start on Monday! We're switching over after 3 years of bju. So excited and a little nervous.
Hooray! I am so excited for you to try it. And I'm impressed you started today.
I’m starting Apologia math after 3 years of screaming and crying and feeling hopeless and defeated in our previous math. It took me that long to realize my son was struggling with HOW math was presented instead of just “not being a math person” and not “getting it”. Horrible. But thank God for homeschool and being able to find that disconnect and change direction! I am SO EXCITED for this curriculum! And your videos are so so helpful and reassuring. Thank you thank you thank you for this curriculum!!! We are relearning addition and subtraction with MUS AIM program.
Being able to switch directions is probably my favorite part of homeschooling. I'm thrilled that you are trying Apologia math. And I'm glad the videos are helpful. Let me know if you have ideas for future videos and I'll try to make them.
We dont use workbooks in our homeschool but my kids love them so we just buy them and let them use them whenever. So they are still learning but its no pressure.
That sounds like such a great option.
