Using Open Up NC Math 1 (MVP)? MathBound follows your chapters.

Open Up NC Math 1 (MVP) (Open Up High School Mathematics, North Carolina State Standards Edition) has 9 units and 66 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 NC Math 1 from Open Up High School Mathematics, the North Carolina edition of the MVP course: nine units, lessons numbered within a unit (5.8 is Unit 5, Lesson 8). For Utah's Secondary Mathematics I choose MVP Mathematics I. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Open Up Resources or the Mathematics Vision Project.
