The courses utilize hands-on activities to introduce new concepts, worksheets for students to practice concepts, games to enhance learning, and end-of-unit projects that involve many concepts learned in that unit. There is a strong emphasis on mastering both math facts and conceptual understanding. The courses link mathematical concepts to the real world, primarily through word problems. Each title is visually connected to a science theme with icons and illustrations, such as those related to insects in Level 3.

I think I finally found it! I’ve been searching for YEARS for the perfect math curriculum. Something hands-on, that has short lessons and has everything laid out in an easy-to-use parent manual for me. Apologia knocked it out of the park with this one!
We have really enjoyed this curriculum! Easy to use and prep for! Such a natural approach to math! I have tried so many 1st-grade math curriculums. This one is my favorite!
This math has been a game-changer in our house! I would battle so much with my daughter over math. Now, she asks to do it first and sometimes completes more than what is required! Thank you for releasing a product that has given me confidence we can continue homeschooling without the fight every day.
Exploring Creation with Mathematics is the perfect balance of practice problems and hands-on activities. My daughter has loved all the games. I highly recommend it!
I have been recommending your math books to all the homeschool moms. Thank you for everything you contribute to the homeschooling world. We are grateful!
Thank you so much for writing this math curriculum. My son absolutely LOVES it, and we are having so much fun together. Math is his favorite subject, and he looks forward to it every day.
We are several weeks into our Apologia Math book, and my daughter begs to just do one more lesson at the end of every day! Thanks for such a fun math adventure.
We are using Apologia math in our homeschool. My kids never get bored since each lesson uses different manipulatives and activities to teach the concepts. I am so impressed with how well the books are written and especially love using household items as manipulatives!
The Word in Motion by Apologia is a comprehensive, Bible study curriculum designed to help students understand the overarching story of Scripture. Through engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and video components, it encourages students to connect with God’s Word and apply biblical truths in their daily lives.
The Word in Motion was developed by Apologia in partnership with Walk Thru the Bible, whose popular live events are designed around families learning a series of motions and key words that tell the story of the Bible from beginning to end. Adapted and designed specifically for homeschooling families, The Word in Motion uses these motions as a starting point for an expanded curriculum that engages the heart, head, and hands.
The Word in Motion is ideal for elementary and middle school students, typically ranging from grades K-8. However, the curriculum is flexible and can be adapted for a range of ages, making it a great choice for homeschooling families with multiple children.
The curriculum is divided into two volumes: Old Testament and New Testament. Each volume uses storytelling, visual illustrations, memory work, and interactive exercises to teach biblical narratives in a chronological and engaging way.
Yes and no. Although each volume of The Word in Motion will stand on its own and constitutes a complete course of study, Apologia strongly recommends beginning with the Old Testament. Knowing the key people, places, events, and themes of the Old Testament will build a solid foundation for students to have a clearer understanding of the events recorded in the Gospels as well as the teachings of the New Testament.
Not at all. Like most Apologia products, the Word in Motion curriculum doesn’t require a teacher’s manual and is designed with an open-and-go format! The lesson plans in the textbook, the notebooking journal, and the book extras provide clear daily directions.
The curriculum course set includes a student textbook, free video lessons, and an activity-rich notebooking journal. An audiobook of the textbook is also available for auditory learners.
Most families complete one volume in a school year by using the curriculum 4 days a week. However, the flexible design allows parents to adjust the pace based on their student’s learning style and schedule.
Absolutely! The Word in Motion’s adaptable lessons and activities make it a great choice for multi-age learning. Parents can modify assignments and discussions to suit younger and older students.
Absolutely! Many homeschool co-ops and groups use Apologia’s curriculum for collaborative learning. Author, Rachael Carman, shares how to use The Word in Motion in a co-op setting.
Rachael and her husband, Davis, own Apologia Educational Ministries, a leading publisher of award-winning, creation-based curriculum for home educators.
In 1995, Rachael Carman walked into the executive offices of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries with a baby on her hip and proposed adapting their signature live events into a full-blown Bible survey curriculum for families to study at home. Now, after twenty-five years of prayer, Rachael is excited to present The Word in Motion: Old Testament and The Word in Motion: New Testament.
