From the ebook, students and parents can access review, enrichment, and extension opportunities. One specific area would be the Reference Section of the ebook labeled Checkpoints. These are essential topics for students to master in order to be successful throughout their current course and beyond.

Another resource is the Parent Guide provided by CPM. The Parent Guide provides an alternative explanation of key ideas, example problems worked out, and additional practice problems with answer keys. The Parent Guide resources are arranged by chapter.

Outside our CPM curriculum, there are many options to review, enrich, and extend. One way is to use Khan Academy courses. The course provides videos, practice problems, and feedback on the content covered in the videos.

Again these are just suggestions and ideas and are NOT MANDATORY. Please feel free to explore other opportunities to stay sharp as a learner.
