Each unit contains essential teaching pieces, practice questions, answers and detailed solutions. Questions considered to be more difficult are labeled as Challenger. The complete solutions show problem-solving methods, explain key concepts, and highlight potential errors. The resource is ideal for year-long use by students, teachers, and parents, at home or at school.

A Table of Correlations at the beginning of each unit identifies the curriculum outcomes and the multiple choice and written response questions that specifically test those concepts. To help students understand the curriculum, THE KEY provides explanations for key concepts at the beginning of each unit. One practice final exam is included in THE KEY.
