Eight months, choose two a month

You decide which lessons you take. Open a month, tick at least two lessons with the check box on each card, and the month turns green when you have enough. Lessons marked Ready are open now.

Choose at least two each month

Every month — 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6a and 6b — needs two or more lessons; any beyond two are optional. Core lessons cover the book chapter by chapter; electives take one section deeper. Any mix counts, and a lesson you finish is ticked for you.

Every lesson, same shape

Seven tabs per chapter

Open any lesson and you get the same seven sections, plus an optional printable worksheet. The book is optional — the Reading tab teaches each chapter — but keep it beside you if you have it.

1

Overview

The hook, the big idea, what you'll be able to do, the key ideas in checkable points, the chapter's vocabulary, and (optional) where to find it in the book.

2

Subject Matter Specialists

The historical figure who narrates the chapter — their story, their words, and why they teach this one.

3

Reading

The chapter's lessons taught straight through, like a textbook you'll actually enjoy — examples, quick checks and key terms, without the long stories.

4

Written Activity

A writing assignment that is deliberately not the one printed in the book. You write it at the bottom and send it to your parent account.

5

Exam

Ten auto-graded questions drawn from the chapter, each with an explanation whether you're right or wrong.

6

Resources

What you need on the desk — book pages, records to gather, people to interview, and where to go further.

7

Moving Forward

An optional game on the chapter, a short close, and the button that finishes the lesson.

Start with Chapter 1

King Croesus minted the first coins because his people were wasting their days arguing over the value of a cow. Forty-five minutes, seven tabs, one book.
