The Not Consumed team exists for one purpose: to help your family grow in faith so you can live #NotConsumed. We are homeschool parents with over 220 years of combined homeschooling experience, advanced degrees in education and curriculum design, and a deep love for serving families well. Every Bible study, family resource, and homeschool curriculum we create is anchored in Scripture and made to be practical, clear, and easy to use, because we know your days are already full.

We believe the best learning happens when families gather around God's Word together, so we create resources that work across ages and stages to make that time meaningful, approachable, and real.

I believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. It's 100% true, with no exceptions or figurative sections. I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin birth of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily, premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth.

Though schools can be accredited, there is not an accreditation program for curriculum.

Consumer Math is an independent learning-based course and does not require a teacher’s manual. A digital Answer Key that can be downloaded to your device is available. The Answer Key includes parent instructions, project grading checklists, and calculation answers.

There are many similar topics covered in both subjects. However, the course was designed as a consumer math course, so you may find some topics covered at different levels than expected in a personal finance course.

There are 22 independent projects within the course that are similar to an assessment of the material because students have to apply what they have learned to complete the project accurately. Grading checklists are provided in the Answer Key.

Consumer Math has 239 pages, covers 16 different units, and includes 22 projects.

Lessons should be completed 4-5 times per week. Lessons should take one day, while projects can range from 2-7 days. Each project has a golden badge with the recommended number of days for completion.

Consumer Math is written using USD (United States Dollar), traditional US savings and retirement terms, and the American customary measurements of inches, feet, yards, and miles, which affects many of the word problems in the text. Students are given opportunities to research various costs of items in their area for projects.

Students preparing to take Consumer Math should have completed middle school math and have a solid understanding of basic math concepts such as multiplication, division, percentages, fractions, and decimals. We do not recommend starting Consumer Math prior to 9th grade. We recommend taking this during the 11th or 12th grade since it is primarily based on real life scenarios. Completing the course as close to the time to use those skills would be most beneficial.
