Beast Academy
- Guide materials are written in an engaging, comic-book style which provides comprehensive, rigorous instruction.
- Practice materials provide hundreds of exercises, problems, puzzles, and games to reinforce the lessons from the Guide.
In Level 1, each unit (A through D) contains both Guide and Practice materials in a single book. In Levels 2-5, the Guide and Practice materials are separated into two books per unit.
Beast Academy covers the core fundamentals and then goes well beyond these basics to present material at a deeper and more challenging level than a typical elementary-school math curriculum.
