Savvas is a familiar publisher to our public-school
customers. For a homeschool parent looking for solid, grade-level content and a
variety of teacher resources available to them, these bundles offer an
individual-user license version of their school curriculum. Newly available are
the 2020 version for grades K-6 and the 2021 version for Grades 6-8.
Offering a rich learning experience, enVision Math emphasizes problem-solving while teaching grade-level concepts. It aligns with Common Core math standards. 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. Levels are sold
only in grade-level bundles. The pages are bright and colorful with clear
explanations. You have a good amount of review for each concept before moving
forward to ensure students are prepared. Their sequencing is logical, and
parent educators should find the student books a friendly resource to utilize.
Grades K-6 Bundles include 2 softcover, consumable Student
Worktexts (1 per semester), 2 volumes of Teacher’s Resource Masters, plus
1-year access to savvasrealize.com. These printed teacher materials are
not the Teacher Edition, rather, these are classroom-style resources a
homeschool may use occasionally.
Grades 6-8 Bundles include 2 softcover, consumable
Student Worktexts (1 per semester), 2 volumes of Teacher’s Resource Masters
(see above), plus 1-year access to savvasrealize.com. With two pathways
at the middle school level (Grades 7-8), families can choose either the
traditional Grades 7 and 8 path or the Accelerated Grade 7 course which covers
all the essential topics of Grade 7 and 8 in one year. This student would then
do an Algebra course in 8th grade.
High School Bundles include a hardcover Student Text,
consumable Student Companion (example problems with space to work), Assessment
Resources, and a consumable Assessment Readiness Workbook (weekly standards
practice), and the digital resources for one year.
Online Resources: Follow instructions on the
card that arrives with your books to access your 12 months of online content.
Tech-savvy parents can choose to assign work for their student to complete. Lesser-tech-savvy
parents can choose to access the online Teacher E-Text and simply teach
from the text that way. Additional
features include interactive placement, topical benchmark assessments, games,
animations, leveled math readers with teaching guides (K-6), online math tools
(manipulatives and calculators). There are some interactive student activities
on the access, but they are more for practice than instruction. This program
does NOT include daily video instruction for your student. It does,
however, include Student e-textbooks plus much more. All grades now include the
Student E-textbook in Spanish.
Print materials may include colorfully illustrated Student
Worktexts. 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/online materials. Student books for
K-8 are consumable, softcovers, while the high school student textbooks are
non-consumable hardcovers.
For parents who still want the 2017 version, these will
continue to be available on our website.
