• A library is a group of math objectives
• Each library contains all the objectives for a single grade or course; for example, Grade 5 Library or Algebra 1 Library
• You choose which library(s) to use for your class
What is a Library?
![Page 28: What Accelerated Math Does](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815eda550346895dcd790d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
•An objective is a math concept; for example: Dividing Whole Numbers by Fractions
• You assign objectives to students and Accelerated Math generates the assignment
•Use existing objective order or reorder objectives to match your curriculum
What is an Objective?
![Page 29: What Accelerated Math Does](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815eda550346895dcd790d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
