Description
Savvas is a familiar publisher to our public-school customers. For a homeschool parent looking for solid, grade-level content and a variety of teacher resources available to them, these bundles offer an individual-user license version of their school curriculum. Newly available are the 2020 version for grades K-6 and the 2021 version for Grades 6-8.
EnVision Math aligns with Common Core math standards and offers a rich learning experience. Engaging, with easy-to-follow instructions, an emphasis on problem solving skill is evident. Additionally, the upper grade (6-8 and the high school Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2) courses integrate STEM Projects and 3-Act Mathematical Modeling. Levels are sold only in grade-level bundles. The pages are bright and colorful with clear explanations. You have a good amount of review for each concept before moving forward to ensure students are prepared. Their sequencing is logical, and parent educators should find the student books a friendly resource to utilize.
Grades K-6 Bundles include 2 softcover, consumable Student Worktexts (1 per semester), 2 volumes of Teacher’s Resource Masters, plus 1-year access to savvasrealize.com. These printed teacher materials are not the Teacher Edition, rather, these are classroom-style resources a homeschool may use occasionally.
Grades 6-8 Bundles include 2 softcover, consumable Student Worktexts (1 per semester), 2 volumes of Teacher’s Resource Masters (see above), plus 1-year access to savvasrealize.com. With two pathways at the middle school level (Grades 7-8), families can choose either the traditional Grades 7 and 8 path or the Accelerated Grade 7 course which covers all the essential topics of Grade 7 and 8 in one year. This student would then do an Algebra course in 8th grade.
High School Bundles include a hardcover Student Text, consumable Student Companion (example problems with space to work), Assessment Resources, and a consumable Assessment Readiness Workbook (weekly standards practice), and the digital resources for one year.
Online Resources: Follow instructions on the card that arrives with your books to access your 12 months of online content. Tech-savvy parents can choose to assign work for their student to complete. Lesser-tech-savvy parents can choose to access the online Teacher E-Text and simply teach from the text that way. Additional features include interactive placement, topical benchmark assessments, games, animations, leveled math readers with teaching guides (K-6), online math tools (manipulatives and calculators). There are some interactive student activities on the access, but they are more for practice than instruction. This program does NOT include daily video instruction for your student. It does, however, include Student e-textbooks plus much more. All grades now include the Student E-textbook in Spanish.
Print materials may include colorfully illustrated Student Worktexts. Additionally, the upper levels include the Extra Practice or Companion Workbook and the high school Assessment Readiness Workbook. There is duplication of resources in the print/online materials. Student books for K-8 are consumable, softcovers, while the high school student textbooks are non-consumable hardcovers.
For parents who still want the 2017 version, these will continue to be available on our website.
