Challenging Math through Captivating Comic Books
Where to Start: Beast Academy Math Books
Learn math concepts and problem-solving skills through the richly illustrated adventures of four little Beast Academy monsters.
For each unit, there are Guide and Practice materials.
- 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.

How Do BA Books Work With BA Online?
BA Books and BA Online can be used either together or independently. Both the books and BA Online levels cover the same concepts in the same order of units and chapters.
The digital versions of our full-color comic-style Guide books are included in the BA Online platform. But many students like to have the printed versions too. Our black-and-white Practice books are not included in the BA Online platform. They contain completely different problems from the ones found in BA Online.
For these reasons, students often use our online and book formats together as complements. Our suggested planning sequences can help you get started.

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.
