The curriculum includes two sequential Student Books with corresponding Teacher Manuals. Both Student Books focus on functional math concepts like spending money, telling time, keeping a calendar, following maps, reading graphs, and understanding paychecks. Engaging photos illustrate real life situations and give students visual cues to solve math problems. Teacher Manuals are organized as lessons, each with an objective, material list, and step-by step procedure.

Book 1 has six chapters: Math Vocabulary, Using Numbers 0–12, Using Numbers 0–18, Using Numbers 0–100, Using Numbers 0–1000, and Fractions.

Book 2 has four chapters: Home, Work, Community, and Leisure Math. It expands the concepts presented in book one and links them to a character’s everyday life. For example, Dionn works at a sports equipment company and needs to find the phone numbers of coworkers, determine map distances, schedule a business trip, and calculate business expenses.
