5 ways Growing Math makes summer school prep easy-
1. Supplemental lessons that are both engaging and standards-aligned, with all the resources you need included.
2. Educational games with standards-aligned content that students can play in class or at home for remediation, reinforcing a concept or a reward for getting their work done early.
3. An entire summer school course of the Growing Math lessons. You'll be amazed how quickly you can pull this together.
4. Include more diverse perspectives in your classroom, from Latino history to Dakota culture, integrated with math and language arts
5. Self-paced teacher training that can be done in as little as 15-minute increments
