The Math Map Resources

Welcome to The Math Map! We are here to support you as you transition to engaging with a Christian classical approach to math as in The Math Map! We want you to experience the truth, beauty, and goodness of engaging with mathematics in community as we strive to see the unseen through mathematics.

There is a team of support for you as you become acclimated to the The Math Map curriculum and the digital extension of the curriculum exclusive for CC members, The Math Map Companion. This page strives to help you find the answers to your questions with just one click.

Curriculum: First and best resource. It is complete with everything needed to pursue mathematics at home and in community.

The Math Map is a curriculum designed to build the fluency of mathematics as well as build mathematical unity in the family and in our CC Communities as we strive to see the unseen in mathematics. In this effort, we employ our classical skills of learning, particularly the skills of definition and comparison. The printed curriculum domains available in April 2026 include The Math Map Digits, Naturals, Decimals, Integers, Fractions, Rationals, Reals, Complex, Monomials and Binomials. Each domain is a fully self-contained curriculum of 30 booklets where each booklet is self-contained with what is needed to engage with the concepts for the week. We recommend that the families start the math time with flashcards as a warm-up to the day's practice pages, and are not included in the curriculum. We currently offer four varieties; addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, fractions, notations, exponents, and roots/logarithms.

Exordium: Each cover of the 30 booklets has beautiful artwork, a quotation and reflection. The back of the inside front cover includes A Conversation to help inform the conversation if needed.

Frames: These pages help with the conversational/assessment aspects of the curriculum: Invention, Memoria/Arrangement, and Extended Conversation pages. These pages help us to prepare for the content of the week's - reminds us what we know so that we can be prepared to learn something new and then help us to become dialectic with the new things we learn. The TMM Scope and Sequence page helps us to track our progress. They are uniquely numbered with the lowercase letter "i" followed by what looks like an exponent - 1, 2, 3, 4.

Charts: The Charts are a complete reference for each lesson's concept. These are the source of authority for the curriculum. They are the same across all domains. The goal by Challenge IV is to have the ability to create and explain problems that demonstrate competency of the material in the 120 Chart pages. These pages are all numbered with the letter "C."

Lesson Pages: There are 16 practice pages in every booklet. The first 4 pages introduce the concepts for the week and the remaining pages repeat the concepts engaging different numbers and circumstances for classical learning.

Ex Nihilo- Booklet 1: The first booklet's 16 lesson pages contain a box noted as "Lesson Overview." These pages are extremely helpful for all to understand the layout of the curriculum and how best to approach it with or without access to the frames and charts. This booklet is in digital format in Learning Center as well as in printed format in Complex. Reading through this booklet as well as the first 4 Chart pages will give someone a good overview of how to engage with the curriculum.

Again, the printed curriculum is a complete and self-contained math curriculum. And because it was designed for community, we have other resources over time we will want to pursue. They include:

Challenge Guide: In 2026, tutors, parents and students engage with the Challenge Guide for CH A, B and I to see the outline of the logic strand each week.

TMM Companion: The Math Map Companion is a digital extension of the curriculum. The Companion provides digital versions of the printed curriculum with digitally interactive resources such as audible glossary, links to videos connected to the pages, and more. It is similar to an encyclopedia of math in the convenient format of the curriculum with digitally interactive features. It is extremely informative. Because the Charts are the same across every domain, all CC Connected families have access to Charts in TMM Companion. Please note it does not provide step-by-step instructions on how to teach math. It is a one-stop place for all things related to The Math Map with informative videos, information on the why and how, tutor resources, and more. This resources lives in Semester 1 Week 1 of CC Connected Learning Center.

Beta Digital Releases: The Beta download now available is the Naturals 4-in-1 Document.

This all in one document includes the booklet cover (to look for connections to God and math), the Contribution to the Conversation (to aid in finding connections to God and math in the art), and the sixteen lesson pages with their answer key (to practice loading the grammar with possible new math notations). The font of the lesson pages has been reduced so that four pages fit onto one regular page. This saves space and ink when printing. The Naturals booklets can give you or your older student an introduction to the layout of this classical math curriculum.

The Beta versions are an excellent opportunity for you to use for yourself as lead learner or for your student to have on hand to look at a lower domain to help them navigate an area of difficulty.

This Beta is different from the printed booklets purchased in the bookstore as you will not have the i pages, charts, careful calculations, or the game page included.

These beta versions are not final versions, and while they do not include all the printed components of the curriculum, it does include enough curriculum elements to pursue successful conversation and learning employing our classical skills of 5 common topics as we have a conversation with the student to introduce the lesson pages.

• What is familiar?
• What is unfamiliar?
  
  

The first 4 pages of every lesson introduce all the concepts covered for that week and the remaining 12 pages are a repeat of those same concepts using different numbers and circumstances. Continuing to use the skill of definition and comparison, parents have enough information to present the material to students and students will learn.

Community: Because TMM was designed to provide unity and fluency of math in the home and in our CC Communities - Challenge tutors are the best resources as we grow into our habits of classical mathematicians. We have support from The Math Map team, Classical Conversations, and equipped tutors. We have not had this kind of support for the logic strand before and it is a powerful component for learning.
