Beginning Arithmetic: Grade 1, Part 2, Lessons 86-170 (Mathematics for Christian Living Series) [Paperback] Rod and Staff Publishers, Inc.

Description

Paperback cover has some wear. Pages are clean and the binding is secure.

This vintage mathematics textbook from the “Mathematics for Christian Living” series offers a glimpse into the intersection of faith and education in mid-20th century America. Published by the Mennonite-run Rod and Staff Publishers, it was likely used in Christian private schools or homeschooling circles that sought to integrate biblical principles into every subject. The well-preserved interior pages reveal an arithmetic curriculum tailored for first graders, with lessons progressing from basic counting to addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers. While the teaching methods may seem quaint today, the book represents an era when many conservative Christian communities aimed to instill not just academic skills, but moral values aligned with their beliefs. For collectors interested in the history of American education or religious publishing, this modestly worn yet sound copy offers an authentic artifact from a time when the line between secular and sacred studies was often blurred.
