Using Glencoe Algebra 1? MathBound follows your chapters.

Glencoe Algebra 1 (Common Core edition, ©2012/2014) has 13 chapters and 100 lessons. In MathBound’s free Algebra I game, each chapter becomes a sky island and each lesson a landing on it, asking that lesson’s kinds of problem. The book’s own numbers are kept, so your students can find their place.

Follows the 2012 Common Core edition (also printed as ©2014), Chapters 0 to 12, not the 10-chapter 2016/2018 book.
