Announcement!!

We are so excited to announce that we are making our books available on the Amazon Marketplace. Please pray for us as we work on getting all of our books listed. You will now be able to purchase SonLight Education Ministry books at a price that is very friendly to your pocketbook and you won’t need to mess with printing the large files.

Please… if you see any errors in any books, please give us a heads up so that we can try to edit them before they go to print. We always appreciate a second, third, or fourth pair of eyes!

You can now go to Amazon and search for “SonLight Education Ministry”. The books that are uploaded and ready for printing will have a “BUY NOW” button. It takes a few days to get the books to be live on Amazon, but we have already finished uploading the Family Bible Lesson books, all three years. We will begin to work on the Little Children’s Lessons and the Activity Books soon. The 2-8 Grade Lessons will follow after they are completed. So, keep checking back to Amazon to see what has been uploaded.

Please keep this work in your prayers. Kimberly has been willing to share her talents and her spare time to make this happen. We are so thankful for her help. We are putting the prices as low as we can to cover the cost of printing for you and still save you loads of money compared to if you printed from home or took the files to a printshop. That’s worth praising God about!

In the near future, as time allows, we will be updating the website. We will be reorganizing it to help you find the print books or the downloadable files, but this will be a large project and we ask for your patience and your prayers!

We pray this will be a blessing for many families!

What Is Mathematics? Projects

Many times we stick to our lessons and forget about the projects listed in the Teacher’s Section. You can find lots of neat ways to learn mathematics by doing the projects, which is a more hands-on method of learning. Here is an excerpt from Grades 2-8 / Lesson 1: What Is Mathematics?

What are the laws of love in your home? Make a list. Can you think of a new one your family may need? Practice it, and especially this week. (Example: All family members will be respectful of other peoples’ things because they love them.)
Do you see mathematics in nature? Find examples on at least two days during your nature walks this week. Use your backpack. (Example: leaf pattern on a branch – spiral, alternating, parallel). Write the examples you find in Our Nature Study Book. Make a parallel to your Bible story and use the character quality of love. Use three examples 1) numbers, 2) quantities, and 3) measurements.
Help the child think about Mathematics as he goes about his daily life. (Examples: the time he eats each day, the number of people eating at each meal, etc.) Have the child draw pictures of three laws of mathematics he experiences in his day (as relates to love and the Bible lesson).
Together, as a family, save enough money to purchase the book Number in Scripture by Bullinger to add to the family’s library for a resource.
Do a survey with adults and ask them the question, “What is Mathematics?” Write down their answers. What did you learn from them?

Mathematics Instructions

Try to make mathematics more concrete and enjoyable by making story problems from your Bible lesson and nature lesson; use a blackboard and write a problem out (or a stick writing in the dirt), letting the student work out the answer, then let the child give the teacher and problem; or, as you are working at a project, make it into a mathematics problem, etc. Help the student to see that mathematics is a simple part of life.
Practice mental problems – where the child has to work out the answer in his head.
Let the child work at whatever level he is capable of doing in the workbooks.

Reflect – Consider This:

A lighted piece of paper laid flat on a piece of metal will go out, for the metal absorbs the heat and starves the flame: so does gold laid close to the soul cause the holy flame of love to God to shrink and die. The heart cannot embrace God and money; and, therefore, if it gives its affection and solicitude to the latter, it is guilty of idolatry. “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry” (Colossians 3:5)
