The teacher outline shows teachers how to frame this unit of work from a biblical perspective using “The Big Picture” concepts outlined in the book Transformation by Design. There are big ideas, curriculum ties, and key activities that help students understand the purpose of their learning.
These framing activities will help you with the language to use throughout the unit and help you authentically answer the question, “Why are we doing this topic of work?”
Mathematics helps us discover and notice the beautiful geometric designs that are in God’s creation.
Students consider:
- These designs were not created by chance or by evolution, nor should they be worshiped. Rather, Jesus came to redeem humankind, and He opened our eyes to know God the creator.
- As we are made in His image, we can learn from these designs and, in turn, create beautiful work to bless our communities.
“For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.”
2 Corinthians 4:6
