Using Math Nation Algebra 1 (Florida B.E.S.T.)? MathBound follows your chapters.

Math Nation Algebra 1 (Florida B.E.S.T.) (Florida's B.E.S.T. Core Math Curriculum, 2022 onward) has 13 units and 125 lessons. In MathBound’s free Algebra I game, each unit 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 Florida B.E.S.T. course: 14 units, lessons numbered within a unit (4.7 is Unit 4, Lesson 7), honors lessons marked H. Units 12 and 14, both on data, share one island. Not the older Algebra Nation course. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Math Nation or Accelerate Learning.
