Envision Math (2017 Ed.)

Description

Freshly updated, the EnVisionMath 2.0 (©2017/2018) aligns with current math standards and offers a tech-rich learning experience. Engaging with easy-to-follow instructions, an emphasis on problem solving skill is evident. Additionally, the upper grade (6-8 and the high school Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2) courses integrate STEM Projects and 3-Act Mathematical Modeling. Envision Math 2.0 offers two pathways at the middle school (grades 7-8) level. Families can choose either the traditional grade 7 and grade 8 tracks or the Accelerated Grade 7 track which covers all the essential topics of grade 7 and 8 in one year.

Sold only in grade level bundles, which include the printed resources plus access to the Savvasrealize.com digital platform for one year. Print materials may include colorfully illustrated Student Texts, Teacher Resource Masters, and the Assessment Sourcebooks (answers online). Teacher Resource Masters vary and provide reteaching and enrichment supplemental resources. Additionally, the upper levels include the Extra Practice or Companion Workbook and the high school Assessment Readiness Workbook. There is duplication of resources in the print and online materials. We anticipate some print resources may be discontinued in the future. Please check our website for current packages.

Student books for K-8 are consumable softcovers, while the high school student textbooks are non-consumable hardcovers. The digital platform from Savvas provides copious teacher and student resources. Here is a sampling of online resources: interactive placement and topical benchmark assessments, games, animations, leveled math readers with teaching guides (K-6), online math tools (manipulatives and calculators), Student and Teacher E-textbooks plus much more. Currently, grades K-5 and the Algebra 1 include the Student E-textbook in Spanish. All Answers are found in the online Teacher E-Text. With the wealth of included digital resources, parents may wish to spend time exploring the online portal to determine the best options for their learner. Homeschool Bundles include print Student and Teacher Resources, and the information to register for the one-year access to the digital platform.
