Level 1 Math
Description
We use the fun and rigorous Beast Academy books for elementary math. (The name comes from the storyline of the textbooks, in which material is presented through comics about a school for monsters.) This curriculum is produced by Art of Problem Solving, which typically offers a higher level of challenge and more in-depth presentation of the material than most American math courses. We think this is a good thing. However if the math coursework proves too challenging, we recommend delaying its introduction for up to six months, or progressing more slowly than the curriculum default.
Beast Academy is Art of Problem Solving's curriculum for grades one through five. Textbooks are in a comic / storybook format and episodes introduce concepts that are then practiced in the workbook.
Despite the playful presentation, Art of Problem Solving is a rigorous curriculum (often used to prepare for math competitions) whose approach focuses on understanding underlying concepts, rather than memorizing mechanics.
The first grade curriculum books combine textbook and workbook into one volume. You can realize cost savings by purchasing the full first grade set (books 1A through 1D) in a single set (available on Amazon at amzn.to/3zT88dg, or beastacademy.com/) if you prefer.
