Earn two independent practice stars and one application star, then complete the library skill check for that stage. The check covers the stage’s library prompts, so changing numbers alone is not enough. Hints help you learn; your existing stars and earned rewards stay yours. Clear every stage to clear a level.
Every stage includes an explanation, two worked examples and eight library practice problems, plus checked variations with changing numbers and applications. Each level also has a separate unit test and a later review form. Parents see actual attempts, hint use and results.
These are independently authored core-skills courses, with the current scope listed for each course. They do not reproduce complete textbook contents. Difficulty describes the teaching sequence within each course; course preparation matters when comparing subjects. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by AoPS.
