Each of the six FOCUS on Mathematics titles are available in Levels A–H (Grades 1–8).
Each Student Book opens with a Learn About section, which offers an overview of the material with instruction and modeling. This section is followed by the Lesson Preview, which includes guided practice with scaffolding, plus sample questions with correct and incorrect responses for discussion. Student Books also include 20 independent practice lessons and five self-assessments.
