Our approach to Summer Series

Zearn’s targeted summer math content series for rising 1st through 9th graders are designed based on:

Big ideas of math that help students build dense connections within and across grades.

Data from billions of math problems completed on our platform, with insights into precisely where students struggle and the most relevant foundational content.

Embedded math learning acceleration throughout digital lessons, including friendly onramps and just-in-time support on all grade-level concepts.

What you get

Each grade-level series has digital math lessons that kids complete independently as well as instructional resources for educators. Lessons can be used flexibly across summer learning models, including in-school summer programming, tutoring or at home.
