Math Series- Savvas Realize

Each student can connect to this site through their Google Classroom. This site is used in class and can also be used at home. I allow plenty of time for students to complete Practice Buddies. If they do not complete Practice Buddies in school, they must work on them at home. I will also be giving daily review assignments that the students need to complete at home.
