Our Skill Builders are a digital PDF, downloadable resource that can be used to help students catch up, work ahead, or get additional practice on topics that they are struggling with.
Each PDF download comes with a teaching page and practice page (as well as an answer key). The teaching page is the same as the one in the main math curriculum, while the practice page has a mastery focus to help students work on what they have learned.
Finally, a math curriculum you can custom-tailor to your needs!
Please note: This is different from our main books, which are much more in-depth and include a teaching page, a practice page, and then 2 review pages. These review pages are a spiral approach, reviewing other concepts that students have learned and creating a well-rounded math program. The skill builders are more of a mastery/practice focus designed to be used to fill in gaps or help students move ahead so they aren't stuck in endless review when they just need a little refresher or "top up". These are not meant to replace our math curriculum but rather to be added only as needed.
