Our recommendation is to keep kids on grade level -even if they have some struggle -and allow that lesson progression and adaptive support to help them keep moving forward in grade level math.
What if kids struggle? Can I put them on a lower grade?
3 grade level lessons per week.
How many lessons should kids do each week?
Use the Curriculum Companion Guide to find the Zearn Mission connected to the curriculum unit you are currently teaching, and assign students to that Mission. At the start of each new unit, return to the guide to determine the next assignment. Each Mission is intentionally selected to support the curriculum unit, reflecting strong alignment between your curriculum and Zearn's research-based learning progression. Rather than matching individual lessons, students begin at Lesson 1 and work through the Mission in order, building fluency and conceptual understanding through a Concrete–Representational–Abstract (CRA) progression, with embedded support that maintains grade-level rigor.

Our recommendation is for students work independently on digital lessons. That way, they get a chance to learn at their own pace with adaptive support right when they need it.
Is it okay to do digital lessons whole group?

The Curriculum Companion Guide helps you use Zearn Math as a coherent companion to your high-quality Tier 1 instruction, connecting students' digital learning to the grade-level concepts they are developing in class. The guide helps ensure coherence between live instruction and digital learning by identifying which Zearn Mission reinforces each unit in your curriculum. At the start of each curriculum unit, assign the recommended Zearn Mission. Students work through the digital lessons in the mission at their own pace, building deep understanding of connected math concepts grounded in the CPA approach, with no daily lesson setting or reassignment required. Then set goals, monitor progress, and provide support as students move through the lesson sequence within the Mission.

Where can I see how long students have been on Zearn this week?
Where do we give access for Spanish translated digital lessons?
Headphones, printed notes, pencil, device, manipulatives (if needed)
What materials do students need for Zearn?
90 minutes per week.
Our recommended number of minutes per week to get to 3 grade level lessons per week.

The average amount of time it takes kids to do 3 GLLs per week.
As students work at their own pace, it is normal for some to not finish a Mission before a new curriculum unit begins. When you move to a new curriculum unit, assign the recommended Zearn Mission to all students to keep their digital learning connected to your instruction. Each Mission includes built-in supports and scaffolds, so students can engage with new content even if they are at different points in their learning. This ensures students experience the full breadth of grade-level math while continuing to build understanding and fluency.
When I start a new unit, what should I do if students haven't finished their current Mission?

Where should I go to see how many lessons my students have done on average by this point in the year?

Where can kids switch their home feed to Spanish?
In the grade level mission aligned to the big idea of math in their core instruction.
Where should students work in the digital lessons?
Daily or frequently
How often should studnets and teachers be signing into Zearn?
If a student completes their Mission before the class moves to the next curriculum unit, they will automatically unlock and advance to the next Mission in Zearn's grade-level sequence. If you'd prefer to choose what they work on next, you have two options: have them complete Bonus activities within their current Mission, or assign the next recommended Mission using the Curriculum Companion Guide. Either way, students remain productively engaged, whether deepening their understanding of current concepts or continuing to advance through grade-level content.

What are the data routines?
Materials available in Spanish button on the upper right corner of the mission page
Where can I print the notes in Spanish?
Just try.
What should students do if they don't know the answer or are stuck?
Monitor your data and decide the appropriate action to help them get unstuck. A quick coaching moment, a prompt to use notes, or perhaps a short intervention to get them back on track.
What should I do if a student gets stuck?
Students may be on different lessons, encounter concepts earlier or later than in class, or move at different speeds. This works because every Zearn Mission is designed with an intentional learning progression where each lesson within a Mission builds on the previous one. What matters most is that students move through the lessons within a Mission in order and stay engaged in grade-level learning. Even when the timing isn't perfectly in sync, students are still developing and reinforcing the same underlying math ideas across both experiences.
What if the content of the recommended Zearn Mission doesn't exactly match the content in my core curriculum unit?
