How much time do the skills lessons take to complete? When should we begin?

Students may only need some of the skills lessons that are in the Readiness and Review for Algebra 1 Principles of Secondary Mathematics. Using the Skills Assessment and Skills Analysis within the Readiness Check section will help you determine which skills lessons would benefit your student. 

Each skills lesson takes an average of 30 minutes. We recommend doing no more than two or three a day. If you and your student determine it’s best to complete all of the skills lessons, we recommend spreading them out over two to three weeks.

We recommend that you start any time between finishing Pre-Algebra and a few weeks before beginning Algebra 1: Principles of Secondary Mathematics.

Where can I find the Readiness and Review for Algebra 1 Principles of Secondary Mathematics?

Because this is a digital product, you will not receive any physical books but you will need a printer to print lesson pages.
