Beyond Math, we also have full courses with learning and practice in Science, Social Studies,and the Humanities. And we're always workingto add additional content. That's just the start. We have interactive computerprogramming content, computer animationlessons made with Pixar, and a whole section of career videos you can use with students. We also have test prep content, including free official SAT practice created in partnership with College Board, the makers of the SAT. How are courses structured? From your teacher dashboard,click on any class. On the left navigationbar, click on Assignments, and in the dropdown menuyou can click Assign. From there, you will see Assign Content, where you can see the scope and sequence of the course you've selected. Most of our coursesare divided into units, and within every unitare multiple lessons. Lessons include instructionaland practice resources, such as videos, articles, and exercises. In many courses, quizzes combine practice from several preceding lessons. Units end with a test that checks understandingof the entire unit. What makes our content special? First, our content is trustworthy. All of our content is made by a team of former teachers andsubject matter experts. We also partner with leadingeducational organizations to make sure our content is up to date and fully aligned to standards. Second, our content is interactive. We have questions that ask students to read and interpret maps,images, and text passages. We also have interactive charts and graphs to teach students toread and interpret data with a variety ofdifferent question types. Consider exploring our content to sample the variety ofpractice questions we offer. Third, our content gives instant feedback. After answering anyquestion, students will learn if they are correct, almostcorrect, or incorrect. Students who are stuck on a problem are provided with support, such as related videos and articles, hints with solution strategies, and rationales that explain why a particular answeris correct or incorrect. Lastly, our content isaccessible, student-friendly, and encourages a growth mindset by letting students knowthey can learn anything. We want students to feel like they're receiving personal tutoring. We model the thinking wehope students will use as they ask questions andsolve problems themselves. For more information about Khan Academy, go to khanacademy.org/resources.
