Lifelong learning outcomes are aligned with curriculum outcomes to adapt as needed. Refer students back to this throughout the unit to see how their learning fits together.
God created a world of order with observable patterns. These reveal some of the majesty and complexity of God.
However, humans no longer worship God as the creator, and some of these patterns have been disrupted because of sin (endangered species, global warming, etc.).
Christ’s victory over death and His saving work allows us to view life in a new light.
Mathematics (algebra, functions, and graphs) are useful tools to model relationships in God’s creation. This allow us to understand, care for, and steward God’s creation in the way He intended.
When we contemplate the variables that can influence the functioning of God’s word, we stand in awe and wonder at how seamlessly everything works together. For example, life cycles, weather cycles, seasons, etc.
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Colossians 1:15-17

Provide clarity to students about the purpose of their mathematical learning by allowing self-reflection at the beginning and end of units of work to identify growth.
Despite the variables that exist in the world:
“Jesus Christ never changes! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever“
