Once students sign into Zearn, it will take them through the first mission/unit. Additional units will be added over the next few days.
Zearn recommends 30 minutes a day. At that pace, it should take about 2 weeks to complete a Mission/Unit.
Any questions, please contact the Zearn Help Desk or the Math teachers, Mr. Menna. Mr. Menna is available Tuesday morning and all-day Wednesday and Thursday if parents need help launching the program.
