The books

One book for every rank.

Each Student Book is one twelve-week cycle: five chapters, five STEM labs, practice with answers, and a Family corner in every chapter. Every book has a free look-inside sample: the eight Student Books, Square One, the Family Guide, the Puzzle Book and the Game Lab Journal.

How buying works. The Buy button opens the book in the printer's own store, which takes the payment, prints the copy and ships it. Until a book is on sale, its button asks to be told the day it is. Instructor books are not sold here: they come with a site licence. How licensing works.

Every price is introductory, subject to counsel. Not issued, approved or endorsed by the New York State Education Department or any school district. Schools decide how to use its reports.
