Beast Academy is a new project from the math beasts at Art of Problem Solving. Beast Academy will provide a full, rigorous, and entertaining curriculum for aspiring math beasts in grades 2-5.
Four fully-illustrated texts per grade will provide complete lessons, delivered by the Academy instructors in an engaging comic-book style. Companion practice books will include challenging problems, puzzles, and games to reinforce the lessons. All Beast Academy books are aligned to the 2010 national Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Links to sample pages from the guide and practice books are below.
Beast Academy will also include a variety of digital content. An innovative online learning system will provide a customized learning experience for every child, adjusting to student performance to deliver appropriate problems and lessons.
We are currently developing the 3rd grade curriculum, which we expect to be available in March, 2012 along with an updated web site with more information about the books. If you would like to receive email updates when new content is available, please sign up here.
