Getting Started: MATHbook

Welcome to your home for getting ready for using our MATHbook with your students. We've assembled a video series that will walk you through the materials, introduce you to the course (straight from our authors!), and even included some tips for surviving the first few days of the school year.

We'll be adding more materials through the fall, so please bookmark this page and check back often!

This article is for MSMS and HSMS MATHbook (4th edition) customers.  If you are looking for the previous edition, please go here.



 

materials for setting up student binders

 

We highly recommend having students use binders to manage their work. The Managing the Textbooks video below shows how to rip apart (yes, rip apart!) pages from the book and also highlights using binders as a way for students more easily managing their materials.

We've provided the downloadable kit below to help you and your students to set that up, as well as classroom posters, sticker chart templates, and more!
