Intro to Algebra

WRITTEN TO THE STUDENT

FORMERLY ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA

NEWLY UPDATED

For more details about the updates this summer, please take a look at our May 2025 Update Video below. All guide updates are free to our customers. 

A Transition Guide

This is our first guide written TO the student with a corresponding teacher guide. In these guides, students typically complete 50-75% of each lesson independently without the teacher’s assistance. The lessons include at least one teacher check-in, providing opportunities for discussion and assessment.

Beginning in Term 3, students will need a scientific calculator. We provide links to both physical and online (free) options in the guide.

A Pilot Year

Due to the large number of updates and changes to this guide, the 2025-2026 year will be its pilot year. This means it may receive some updates and changes in the Summer of 2026. All updates are free to our customers.

IA.Bundle

All bundle products include access to the full year of printables.
