Book 5 of the Charlotte Mason Arithmetic Series is soon to be released—and we have a preview up on our Math Resources page!

This one is particularly exciting for a few reasons:

1) It’s being released alongside Practical Geometry, Pt. 1, written by Dr. Julie Ryle and Tabitha Wirges. It’s designed to work in tandem with Book 5, with four days given to the arithmetic lesson and one day to the hands-on geometry lesson.

2) Rather than having students memorize rules and definitions, they apply what they know to new ideas with example problems. Next, we find out from them the method of working and allow them to word “rules” on their own. This facet of the CM approach to maths shines in Book 5, as the students become like Euclid or Newton.

3) Bookmarks are back!

Take a look at what students will be discovering in Book 5 from Simply Charlotte Mason and ask any questions or guess the color of the next cover in the comments!
