Everything You Need

A complete math year in one organized system

Each level is designed to help families move forward steadily while still leaving room to slow down, repeat a lesson, or use an extra practice day when a child needs it.

📅

Four Core Lessons

Monday through Thursday provide the complete instructional week, so families are not required to teach five full math lessons.

🌿

Mastery Friday

An optional fifth day for more practice, another explanation, or extra time before moving forward.

🧭

Parent Guides

Weekly goals, learning targets, materials, preparation notes, and teaching tips keep parents oriented.

✏️

Student Practice

Guided and independent practice, hands-on learning, review, and simple exit tickets build understanding.

Quarterly Assessments

Built-in checks help parents see what is secure, what needs review, and when a child is ready to continue.

🎬

Matching Video Support

Lesson videos for students and practical teaching tips for parents will connect directly to the curriculum.

Two Flexible Learning Pathways

Teach together—or support growing independence

The lessons stay aligned either way. Families can choose the amount of parent involvement that matches the child’s age, readiness, learning needs, and confidence.

You are never locked into one path.Use more parent support for a difficult skill, then return to independent work when your child is ready.
👨‍👩‍👧
Pathway One

Parent-Led Learning

The parent teaches and practices alongside the child using the weekly guide, lesson steps, and parent support videos.

Especially helpful for younger learners and children who need more direct support.
  • Review the goal, materials, and teaching tips before the lesson.
  • Lead the warm-up and mini-lesson using the written plan.
  • Work through guided practice together before independent practice.
  • Use parent videos for explanations, examples, and troubleshooting.
  • Check the exit ticket and decide whether to move on or use Mastery Friday.
🧑‍💻
Pathway Two

Student Self-Paced Learning

A ready learner follows the organized lesson sequence, watches the matching student lesson video, and completes the work at an appropriate pace.

Often a good fit for older students and learners who are ready for more responsibility.
  • Follow the lesson in order from warm-up through the exit ticket.
  • Use student videos for direct instruction and worked examples.
  • Pause, replay, or repeat a lesson without falling behind a class.
  • Complete guided and independent practice with increasing independence.
  • Have a parent review progress, assessments, and any areas that need support.
Flexible by design

A real four-day curriculum—not five days squeezed into four.

The core instruction is intentionally completed Monday through Thursday. Mastery Friday is there only when your family wants or needs another day.

M
Introduce the week’s skillWarm-up, mini-lesson, guided practice, independent practice, and exit ticket.
T
