• Does Apologia Math correspond to specific Apologia Science courses?

  While we have designed each level of Apologia elementary math to share some aspect of a design theme with a title from Apologia’s science Young Explorer Series, each math and science course can be completed separately.

  For example, Level 6 mathematics has a chemistry and physics design theme, and graphics throughout the book include microscopes, atoms, and students engaged in experiments. A few hands-on activities also have a chemistry and physics theme.

  Apologia chose the design connections to help your student see the connections between abstract mathematical concepts and the real world.

• Should we do the elementary science books in a particular order?

  No, and that’s the beauty of the Young Explorer Series. We recommend starting with the topic that you and your students believe is most interesting right now. You can view the sample first lesson of each elementary science title to explore them in more depth before making a choice.

  Some parents find that teaching more complicated courses, such as Earth Science, Anatomy and Physiology, and Chemistry and Physics, is best reserved for upper elementary students.
