• In this interactive math program, students begin building out their problem-solving skill stack through rigorous math lessons taught by engaging, comic-style characters.

• Aim to spend 12–15 days teaching a chapter of Beast Academy in order to finish one level in a standard school year. We recommend assigning work in Beast Academy Online by time and not by lesson—while most lessons take between 5 and 20 minutes to complete, some may take an hour or more. It's also fine not to complete every single lesson in Beast Academy Online. For students who use Beast Academy as their primary curriculum, we recommend at least 3 hours of practice per week.

• Use the Sequence documents to coordinate the reading and practice for each topic

• Beast Academy is loosely based on the Common Core standards. It covers the key topics for grades 2 through 5, as well as many middle standards. Topics are covered in greater depth and with more opportunities for problem solving and logical thinking than in other programs. See the Standards charts for the topics covered by Beast Academy.

• Optional Beast Academy books (not provided)
