Using SpringBoard Algebra 1? MathBound follows your chapters.

SpringBoard Algebra 1 (SpringBoard Mathematics, Common Core edition (2018)) has 6 units and 40 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 SpringBoard Mathematics Algebra 1 (2018 Common Core edition): each island is a unit and each landing one activity (landing 17 covers Lessons 17-1 to 17-5). Not affiliated with or endorsed by the College Board.
