Beast Academy books provide beautifully illustrated comic-style storylines to engage students and teach concepts through practice problems, puzzles, and games.

Tip: The practice problems in our math books differ from the problems in BA Online. Because of this, many parents use Beast Academy math books in conjunction with Beast Academy Online (BA Online).
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 material. Math Levels 2 through 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 Level 2 books look like:
You can browse available books and the topics they cover on our Books page.
Science Books
Our Beast Academy science books are in development, however, we currently have one level released: Beast Academy Science Level 3. The way the Beast Academy science books will be structured is similar to the way in which our Beast Academy math books are structured in that the curriculum is divided into levels, each roughly corresponding to a grade level.
There are a few key differences between our Beast Academy science books and our Beast Academy math books:
- Our Beast Academy science books are divided into two units (A and B) rather than four like our math books are
- Each Beast Academy science book contains guides, labs, and practice pages
We currently offer Beast Academy Science 3A and Beast Academy Science 3B which can be purchased individually or as a complete level.
Here's what the Beast Academy Science Level 3 books look like:
