 The Guide materials provide comprehensive instruction in an engaging, illustrated, comic-style format. The vivid imagery and storylines captivate both the reader and the visual learner, offering strong pedagogical support while heightening student engagement.
 The Practice materials contain exercises, problems, and puzzles that reinforce the lessons taught in the Guides. They provide detailed examples and step-by-step solutions that model problem-solving strategies. Many solutions feature more than one approach.

Choosing the Right Level for Your Student

Each level 1-5 is split into four units, A-D. Once a student completes unit D of a level, they are ready to move on to unit A of the next level.

We recommend taking one of our Placement Tests to choose the best level for your student.

New to Beast Academy? The best way to determine your student's starting level is by having them take a Placement Test. We recommend using your child's age to determine which Placement Test to take.
