Looking for a introduction to the concepts of mathematics and physics? Middle school students will love math and physics from Master Books.


Math and Physics from Master Books

Our boys have always been drawn to non-fiction materials presented in an engaging way. They’d much rather read that than a story (although our youngest does really love fantasy and science fiction).

I’m always excited when I can find materials on the history of math and science that are presented in an engaging manner from a Christian worldview.


 

Bible Road Trip™ Teach Your Kid the Bible


Math and Physics from Master Books

That’s why I love Master Books so much. Their materials are well-done, and my boys really enjoy them. I mentioned that we’re using Dr. James Stobaugh’s Skills for Language Arts this year–we love it.

(Note: This post was written in 2015.)

Our youngest boy is obsessed with math and science (physics in particular), so we decided to add the Concepts of Mathematics & Physics curriculum as a history piece, to help the boys (who are in 6th and 7th grade) really grasp the concepts and history of the two disciplines.

Ok, I’m kind of sanitizing that. I was looking through the Master Books catalog, I asked the boys what they’d like me to review this month, and our 11-year-old ripped the catalog from my hands, pointed to this curriculum pack, and said, “This!” Our 12-year-old attempted to opt for a science movie or some history CDs, but he was (literally) shouted down by our youngest. I had to promise to let him pick the next review item.

Really, I have to force both of them to stop reading Exploring the World of Mathematics each week so they can actually do some other work. Here’s what they had to say about it:

11-year-old: “It’s really informative. I learned about parabolic and hyperbolic arcs. I think this series will help me with my future studies and I will understand the concepts better, which will make math and science easier.”

12-year-old: “I like it because it has a lot of cool facts. I’m learning about the history of math.”

Exploring the World of Mathematics by John Hudson Tiner

This 157-page volume has 14 chapters. Each covers a topic in a narrative manner with tons of black and white artwork, sidebars, and a one-page quiz section at the end. I appreciate how interesting the narrative is with historical applications (kids can see why tools and skills were developed), and how some of the information relates to the Bible or to the time of Jesus.

Chapters cover:

  • Counting the Years
  • Counting the Hours
  • Muddled Measuring
  • Measuring by Metric
  • Practical Mathematics
  • The Greek Way with Math
  • Names for Numbers
  • Number Patterns
  • Endless Numbers
  • Math for Scientists
  • Pure and Applied Math
  • Computing Machines
  • Bits and Bytes
  • Math on Vacation

Exploring the World of Physics by John Hudson Tiner
