Each topic names the standard it addresses. That alignment is UpOnly Learning's own reading of the published standards; the people who own those standards do not review or endorse what we publish, and standards change.
What one lesson contains
Every topic in every subject follows the same five steps, then an answer key. Nothing changes between subjects, so a student always knows what comes next.
- Quick CheckQuestions before you teach, to show what the student already knows. A high score means you can move faster.
- Learn ItKey words, step-by-step teaching with lines you can read aloud, worked examples, and the mistakes to watch for.
- We Do It TogetherQuestions you work through side by side. The answer and the reason it is the answer are printed right after each question.
- You TryThe student works alone. Do a page a day, or as many as the student needs.
- Show What You KnowNew questions at the end. Compare the score with the Quick Check to see the change.
- Answer KeyEvery question has its answer and a short explanation, at the end of each topic, so a student can work without peeking.
