...really good math textbooks that introduce their subjects in a clear and easy-to-follow fashion, carefully linking each concept to the last; and the exercises are lively, fun, and built around stories that dovetail smoothly into puzzles, games, and other ways of putting the knowledge into practice.

I couldn't be happier with my child's reaction to this incredible educational resource. He loves the books and reads them even at bedtime. The challenging puzzles and problems in the Practice books are perfect for him. Finally, there is a math program with genuinely intriguing and creative problem sets! I can see the wheels turning and his love of math coming alive again.

My son loves math, but Beast Academy is the only math book that he's ever begged to read!

This program has taught [my daughter] to think differently about math and understand that there are many ways to solve a problem. It has also taught her to persevere in solving difficult problems. I’ve also seen her ability to think logically and conceptually improve. It’s not just math – it’s how to think and discover and answer.

One of the things I like about these books is the way students are guided to think more creatively about how to approach a novel problem. The monsters work together and point out clever ways to approach problem solving.

Thank you for this WONDERFUL curriculum! I have a 4th grade daughter who has really struggled with Math. We have tried several curricula, which all were a source of angst and tears. Enter BA 3A...my daughter is sitting at the table as I write this message, emitting all sorts of giggles and squeals as she tries to figure out the toothpick puzzles at the end of Chapter 1. She actually asks to do Math now!
I have two kids who absolutely LOVE Beast Academy. And I have to say, I also love Beast Academy. They re-read it over & over, mostly because they love the characters. (I think Grogg is their favorite.)
I'm really impressed with the care and detail, not only of the math thinking, but the visuals, the humor, and the story.

... the response that I have seen has been really tremendous. What seems to stand out… is that these books don’t dumb the work down nor do they talk down to the child.

...every time the students see me, they get very excited and ask if it's a "Beast Academy Day." They love the characters and enjoy the humor in the Guide book and they persevere to complete as much of the Practice book material as they can.

...my son cannot let go of your book. He is reading/working on it day and night... I just want to say that you guys did a great job, and my best recommendation to my colleagues and anyone who is thinking about math books for their children.
