Even as math, science, and history show us the power and wisdom of God in creation, so the arts provide the opportunity for close observation of all his works. But the arts contain an added dimension as well. They provide a studied manner in which to respond in praise of God's works, whether by music, poem, picture, or appreciation of such works by others. To respond in this way is the joy of the child of God. The lessons in \u003cem\u003eBehold the Beauty\u003c\/em\u003e are written with a view toward equipping the student to see the glory of God, especially in creation, and to praise him for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The objective of each lesson focuses on specific aspects of the elements of art and the principles of design. The elements of art are the building blocks of composition. They include line, shape, texture, color, form, and value. The principles of design guide how the elements are to be used. They include unity, focal point, variety, contrast, balance, movement, rhythm, pattern, proportion, and perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Because the child of God desires to see the glory of his Maker in creation, the lessons also place a strong emphasis on observation.

Material is introduced in a structured manner: each new concept is followed by a problem set that explores the content in detail. Each book ends with a problem set that reviews both concepts presented in the current volume and related topics from previous volumes. The series forms a learning continuum that explores strategies specific to competitive mathematics in depth and breadth. Full solutions explain both reasoning and execution. Often, several solutions are contrasted. The problem selection emphasizes comprehension, critical thinking, observation, and avoiding repetitive and mechanical procedures. Ready to participate in a math competition such as AMC-8, AMC-10, Math Kangaroo in USA, Math Leagues, USAMTS, or AIME? This series will open the doors to consistent performance. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Level 3\u003c\/b\u003e This level of the series is designed for students who can solve linear equations, are fluent with fractions, and can factor into primes. The problem sets are designed to strengthen specific areas where we know students have difficulty on AMC-8 and AMC-10. The level 3 books are a strong preparation for AMC-8 and a partial preparation for AMC-10 and AIME. Level 3 consists of: Word Problems (volume 9), Arithmetic and Number Theory (volume 10), Operations and Algebra (volume 11), Geometry (volume 12), and Combinatorics (volume 13). On the contest list for this level: MATHCOUNTS, Math Kangaroo levels 5-6 and 7-8, MOEMS-M, Purple Comet, AMC-8, AMC-10.

Conscious Math is a guide to spark your curiosity and record inspired insights. People learn math best when they can make their own discoveries, connecting dots of information and creating their own constellations of knowledge. This book offers visual cues and a coherent mental framework for uniting galaxies of constellations into a single, more accessible universe. It is designed to spark those light-bulb moments when things suddenly make sense. As you brighten each page with the light of your attention and flashes of discovery, the book becomes a string of colored lights for you to open and re-illuminate whenever you wish to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll too often, learning math is treated as a matter of memorizing one piece of information after another. These pieces of information can seem random and unconnected, making math frustrating and confusing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePracticing math consciously means working to understand a larger framework, conceptualizing new pieces of information as components of a system. Conscious Math involves zooming in on small details, and zooming out to look for patterns within a bigger picture. It means asking ourselves questions to focus our unconscious memories and skills on one task at a time. Conscious Math is mindful and creative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book condenses math instruction to help frame that bigger picture. It draws together essential elements of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and basic calculus, combining already familiar material with accessible introductions to more advanced topics for students at almost every level. Conscious Math is a valuable guide for developing new skills while consolidating old ones. It is suitable for all students grades 6 through 12, especially those looking for more creative and engaging approaches to learning math. The artful notes and exercises are also good for collecting and rekindling past knowledge in time for college calculus courses or big tests, just for fun, or for sharing math with other people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 08, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48858520944894,"sku":"9781734754025","price":72.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/P8aSyAxHG59781734754025.webp?v=1788438463"},{"product_id":"duty-a-father-his-son-and-the-man-who-won-the-war-paperback","title":"Duty:: A Father, His Son, and the Man Who Won the War - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eBob Greene\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Bob Greene went home to central Ohio to be with his dying father, it set off a chain of events that led him to knowing his dad in a way he never had before--thanks to a quiet man who lived just a few miles away, a man who had changed the history of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreene's father--a soldier with an infantry division in World War II--often spoke of seeing the man around town.

Written by Naoki Higashida, a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism, it is a one-of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates how an autistic mind thinks, feels, perceives, and responds in ways few of us can imagine. Parents and family members who never thought they could get inside the head of their autistic loved one at last have a way to break through to the curious, subtle, and complex life within. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using an alphabet grid to painstakingly construct words, sentences, and thoughts that he is unable to speak out loud, Naoki answers even the most delicate questions that people want to know. Questions such as: \"Why do people with autism talk so loudly and weirdly?\" \"Why do you line up your toy cars and blocks?\" \"Why don't you make eye contact when you're talking?\" and \"What's the reason you jump?\" (Naoki's answer: \"When I'm jumping, it's as if my feelings are going upward to the sky.\") With disarming honesty and a generous heart, Naoki shares his unique point of view on not only autism but life itself. His insights--into the mystery of words, the wonders of laughter, and the elusiveness of memory--are so startling, so strange, and so powerful that you will never look at the world the same way again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In his introduction, bestselling novelist David Mitchell writes that Naoki's words allowed him to feel, for the first time, as if his own autistic child was explaining what was happening in his mind. \"It is no exaggeration to say that \u003ci\u003eThe Reason I Jump\u003c\/i\u003e allowed me to round a corner in our relationship.\" This translation was a labor of love by David and his wife, KA Yoshida, so they'd be able to share that feeling with friends, the wider autism community, and beyond. Naoki's book, in its beauty, truthfulness, and simplicity, is a gift to be shared. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Reason I Jump\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This is an intimate book, one that brings readers right into an autistic mind.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune \u003c\/i\u003e(Editor's Choice)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Amazing times a million.\"\u003cb\u003e--Whoopi Goldberg, \u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Reason I Jump\u003c\/i\u003e is a Rosetta stone. . . .
