New in 2005

Honors Enhancement Books have been developed for Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2.
Algebra 2 has been reformatted, putting the Lesson and Extra Practice pages together in the same book. Also, Lesson 31 now teaches vectors, to help the student to be better prepared for Physics.
PreCalculus This course is an update of our award-winning Trigonometry course, with several new lessons.
Stewardship Math is made available. Written as the advice of a father to his sons, it is composed of 38 devotionals on biblical principles of finance, and includes 30 lessons covering a variety of math applications in the life of a consumer.

New in 2004

After over 10 years of listening to suggestions from customers and reps, we decided it was time to stop tweaking the existing program and to begin thinking about incorporating these ideas into a major revision. The process began over a year ago as we at the home office began reworking the scope and sequences to make the necessary improvements. Then during the last school year I taught most of the new material at a local co-op. In October, 2003 and January, 2004, I recorded new videos for the new material, and this has been digitally edited into a DVD format (It will still be available on video as well).
So here is the scoop. The Introduction, Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced books have been rewritten as Primer, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta and Pre-Algebra. The 4 books originally had 146 regular lessons with an additional 19 special or review lessons for 165 total. The 8 new books, that cover the same material (and do a better job presenting and reviewing it), comprise 30 lessons in each book, for 240 total lessons.

Reasons for the Revisions:

There is more consistent review of previously learned material from book to book. When the initial books were first created they were not part of a united whole, but one book was written approximately every two years.
The subtraction is more thorough and spread out over 2 books.
The division has been significantly strengthened.
Over the years, more lessons were added to the Intermediate Curriculum, but the new material is even better.There is no need for Extra Practice Sheets, as the layout of the new books consists of 3 practice pages for the new material and 3 student review pages with cumulative review just as in the former student sheets.
The word problems have been significantly improved and expanded. In the 3 practice pages, there are story problems on the new topic. In the 3 student review pages there are word problems from the new topic as well as previous topics. Word problems are now in every book, including the Primer.
Measurement is taught and reviewed throughout the books, not just in Special Units.
The 8 books, by being written simultaneously, allow for better progression of new concepts and more effective review of previously studied topics.
DVDs are available as well as video. This is a huge boon if 2 students are in the same book, as there will be no more fast forwarding or rewinding. It also makes for a cleaner image. From a corporate perspective we also now have the capability for translating MUS into foreign languages with the capability for dubbing over the new digital videos.
The look is very much improved and more pleasing to the eye. It is also consistent throughout the books with the same layout and fonts being employed in each text.
Because of new technology since we began in 1990, the text is cleaner and more readable.
There are tests for each lesson as well as 4 unit tests placed strategically throughout the book, and a final exam, to help the teacher gauge whether mastery learning is taking place. Tests are in a separate booklet.
Placement in the new material will be much easier.
The whole program is just plain better. It is a better math program. Students and parents alike will find they are able to learn better and more effectively than before.
