Grades K-3 are teacher interactive, with the lessons presented in 2 colors: blue for parent notes and black to read to the child. A similar format is used throughout: short review, introduce new concept through a short story, and guided activities. The time for each lesson has been carefully planned to meet the attention span of younger learners. At the Kindergarten level lessons take 10 minutes per day, with lesson time gradually increasing each year. Full-color Course Books are divided into units with a total of 120 lessons, allowing for additional review or reteaching if needed. Units conclude with an Assessment Test to ensure children have concept mastery before moving forward. Each test, however, does not cover all concepts taught, as many will be retaught later. Answer Keys for Grades 1-3 and more teaching resources are free at the publisher’s website. Depending on the level, this may include teaching videos, audio downloads, printable flashcards, extra practice pages, or a certificate of completion. Sets include the All-in-One Course book and manipulatives. You provide a few household items.
Beginning in Grade 4, lessons are independent with parental teaching support as needed. Lesson time varies - 4th graders may spend 35-45 minutes per lesson, while Grade 8 learners will spend 50-60 minutes per lesson. Grades 4-5 Sets include the full-color Course Book(s), Mental Math Map Mysteries book, Answer Key, and access to instructional videos. The 120 lessons follow a similar format: video instruction, mini lesson with practice, and review. Unit Assessments are included. Engaging videos provide full instruction and interactive practice problems. Students who have mastered concepts can choose to read the mini lesson summary instead of watching the video. Mental Math Mysteries correlates with the Course Book to provide a fun review. Answer Key provides answers to problems, math mysteries activities, and assessments. Additional free teaching resources available online include additional practice pages and flashcards. Grade 6-8 Sets include the Course Books, Answer Key or the Answer Key and Solutions (Gr. 7-8), and the Instructional videos. Videos at this level provide most of the instruction or students may read the overview and complete the lessons. Grade 7 is intended for students who need an extra year to solidify basic math concepts before taking Pre-Algebra. Students who have completed grade 6 and are ready, may move into Grade 8 Pre-Algebra. A scientific calculator is required for Grades 7-8 .
