Saved our homeschool, working well for the whole family
This program is working very well for my almost 10 year old daughter. We had made it to Singapore 3B, and math was becoming a deal breaker with homeschooling. We had been doing well with Singapore up to that point. This program is fantastic for my daughter who is a fan of comic books and who is a very verbal child. The program is definitely challenging, but in an enjoyable way. My 4 and 7 year olds also sit and listen to me read the Guide which is in comic book format. I am enjoying this program as well (so much less stress as everyone finds it entertaining). I want my children to enjoy math and not be intimidated by it- this program provides that math atmosphere. My daughter started 4th grade this fall (using Singapore 3B) but I started with Beast Academy 3A. It is an advanced program so I feel that level 3 is probably average grade 4 work.

So Happy with this
We love this series. My children will actually sit on the couch and read the guide books in their spare time. We love the challenge, the variety of problems, and the joy of the mathematics as it's presented. I am a former math teacher and math major, so this is rigorous and delightful. I am using grade "3" for my third and fifth grader...it is much harder than normal curriculum. Some of the problems are even a little challenge for me and my engineer husband...they really teach you to think.

fun!
It is a lot of fun for a kid who loves math or loves solving puzzles, but terrible as a curriculum and main learning tool.

We all love Beast Academy
I can't say enough about this curriculum! My (advanced) 1st and 3rd grader both enjoy the comic book format, and the problems/activities are so engaging and challenging! They really do encourage thinking and problem solving more than any other math curriculum I've come across. Highly recommended!

We purchased Beast Academy 3B as a fun review initially but found it to be so much more Using the workbook is key to learning the new skills taught in this program Beast Academy is far from your standard math curriculum My opinion is that it teaches numeracy not just computation skills as some programs do The characters make learning fun Each day my child will ask to start with Beast Academy and Life of Fred and this is a child who says she doesn't like math We love it and will continue with each book

Why did you choose this?
Had good reviews and seemed like a fun way to learn math.
We've been enjoying Beast Academy 3A
Fun and challenging curriculum that keeps my kids engaged. Very good lessons too that have filled in gaps in my OWN math understanding!
I chose this because I heard that it was geared towards advanced math students like my math. I love the comic book style aspect of it.
