Pyramid Project

Where do you find truth? Learn how to see it in the world around us through the study of math, science, philosophy and your own personal scripture study. Look for patterns, sequences, chaos, and order. You will discover more about yourself as you play games, do experiments, and learn through famous scientists and mathematicians.

The goal is for each one of us to discover that we can learn from studying revealed truth as well as from the work and words of our brothers and sisters throughout time. That we have the ability to understand math, philosophy and science and use it to help us understand our world. Class time will be full of discussions, projects, and experiments.

  • Daily study a Math text of your choice - ( 4 days a week)
