The eWorkbook is a wonderful resource for students looking to find extra practice problems. There are a variety of questions based on each section in our textbook. Make sure you don’t click “Check Answers” until the very end. It will give you graded feedback about how you did!

Save this until you have answered all questions!

Return to the table of contentsSection Quizzes

The Section Quizzes is another resource for students looking to find extra practice problems. All of the questions that are presented in Section Quizzes are provided in a multiple-choice format. Make sure you don’t click “Check Answers” until the very end. It will give you graded feedback about how you did! This gives children the ability to narrow in on a particular topic they are concerned about.

Return to the table of contentsChapter Tests

Chapter Tests is a section that allows students to test their knowledge about a variety of content. The tests are broken down according to the chapters in the book, but the sections are not assessed in order. This gives students the ability to assess their overall knowledge of a unit, rather than one specific lesson. This part of the website provides students with side by side comparison (see below) of the answers after completing a portion or all of the test.

The resources on this portion of Classzone provide students with interactive and entertaining ways to review concepts from each of the chapters learned. Students can take part in a road-trip to review solving equations, fill out a crossword puzzle to review vocabulary or play a variety of other games.
