The Family Guide explains how the whole programme works and how to start without a plan. Read that first if you are a parent. The Teacher Quick Start is the shorter version for teachers.
Then take the level that matches your child.
Pre-K · before counting starts
Kindergarten · counting trays and pattern paths
Level 1 · forty nine pages, number sense, tens and ones
Level 2 · rounding and estimation
Level 3 · place value through movement
Level 4 · large numbers
Level 5 · strategy choice and decimals
Level 6 · a support layer, not a full course
Level 7 · a support layer, not a full course
The Print Pack pulls out the printable pages if you want them on their own.
