How Our Books are Organized
Math Books
Beast Academy math curriculum is divided into five levels, each level roughly corresponding to a grade level. Each level is broken down into four units: A, B, C, and D, with each unit covering topics in three chapters. Math Level 1 has four books — one per unit — with each book including both Guide and Practice materials. Beast Academy Math Level 2 through Beast Academy Math Level 5 each have eight books per level, with one Guide book and one Practice book per unit.
Let's take a look at Level 2 as an example. Here's what the Beast Academy Math 2 books look like:
The Different Types of Math Books
The table below provides a bit more detail on each book type and its role in the Beast Academy math curriculum:
| Book Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Guide books | Provide comprehensive instruction on that unit’s lessons in an engaging, illustrated, comic-style format. |
| Practice books | Contain hundreds of exercises, problems, and puzzles that reinforce the lessons taught in the Guide, as well as the solutions to those puzzles and problems. |
| Puzzle books | Offer fun and challenging puzzles to supplement that level's curriculum, as well as solutions to those puzzles. |
Note: The practice problems in our math books differ from the problems in Beast Academy Online (BA Online). Because of this, many parents use Beast Academy math books in conjunction with BA Online.
Science Books
Beast Academy science curriculum is under development! We currently offer two levels: Level 3 and Level 4. Each level is broken down into two books: A and B, with each book containing Guides, Labs, and Practice materials.
Let's take a look at the Beast Academy Science 3 books as an example. Here's what the Beast Academy Level 3 science books look like:
