Beast Academy

Beast Academy is our new project for future math beasts who are now in elementary school. As you'll see from the sample pages here, Beast Academy guides will be in a colorful comic format. This beautifully illustrated delivery allows us to engage students visually, while the teachers and students of Beast Academy simulate the exploration, discussion, and discovery that generates deep understanding and appreciation of mathematics. The guides will be supplemented by Practice books which will reinforce the material with a wide variety of problems and puzzles. While the books cover the Core Standards, they will also introduce many areas of math that are not part of the typical curriculum, and will offer the sorts of inquiry and challenges that help students develop into Math Beasts.
We now seek parents and teachers to try out a chapter of our first book, which is at the third grade level, and to provide feedback on its suitability and effectiveness. To request a sample, please click here, and to join the Beast Academy mailing list, click here.
