Alberta Grade 7 &
Hybrid Grade 8 Math

Math Unscripted unpacks the curriculum and intentionally brings together connected outcomes—or parts of outcomes—into coherent phases of learning. Each phase is carefully sequenced so ideas build on one another, helping students develop meaningful connections rather than experience mathematics as a series of disconnected topics.

Begin the year with the complete Grade 7 Phase 1 resource or the Hybrid Grade 8 Phase 1 resource designed specifically for the 2026–27 transition year.

New Phases Are Being Added Throughout the Year

I am currently working to complete all phases of Grade 7 Math Unscripted and Hybrid Grade 8 Math Unscripted during the 2026–27 school year. Rather than waiting until every phase is complete, I am releasing each phase as it is finished so teachers can begin using the materials right away.

I am currently developing Hybrid Grade 8: Phase 2. Once it is complete, I will begin work on Grade 7: Phase 2.

Phases may be purchased individually as they are released, or as part of a grade-specific growing bundle, which provides a small savings compared with purchasing every phase separately. When a new phase is released, the corresponding bundle will be updated automatically, and anyone who has already purchased that bundle will receive the new phase at no additional cost.

What Does “Hybrid Grade 8” Mean?

The Hybrid Grade 8 program is designed specifically for the 2026–27 transition year. Students entering Grade 8 will begin the new Grade 8 curriculum without having completed the new Grade 7 curriculum. These materials thoughtfully combine essential Grade 7 prerequisite learning with Grade 8 content so students can build the understanding they need without teachers having to piece together two separate programs.

The program focuses on the Grade 7 prerequisite learning needed to support the Grade 8 curriculum; it is not designed to cover every Grade 7 learning outcome. A small number of Grade 8 KUSPs are also outside the scope of this transition-year program and are clearly identified in the curriculum-alignment information.

What Each Phase Includes

Each phase provides a connected sequence of instruction from initial learning through assessment, including:

• a detailed Teacher Guide

• a Student Workbook

• blackline masters and answer keys

• lesson launches, investigations and consolidation

• additional practice and exit tickets

• formative and summative assessment

• instructional guidance, anticipated student thinking and teacher prompts

• hands-on activities, games and supporting resources

Growing Bundle 

A Growing Bundle provides access to the complete program as it is developed. Phase 1 for both Grade 7 and Hybrid 8 is available now, and each additional phase will be added as it is completed. Purchase the Growing Bundle once and receive all future phases included in the program without purchasing them separately.

Only completed phases are available at the time of purchase. The bundle will continue to grow until the full program is complete.

How has AI been used in my work?

Here are the situations where I have used AI to help offload some of the editing work...

I use a program called Overleaf (not an AI tool) to format and produce my student workbooks, teacher guides, and black line masters. Because Overleaf uses LaTeX code, I use AI to help me with the code for creating the layout, diagrams, and other design elements.

Once I am done writing the content for a lesson, I also use AI as an additional reviewer to help identify possible typos, spelling and grammar issues, inconsistencies in wording or question structure, and potential errors in answer keys. It brings possible issues to my attention so that I can review them and make any necessary corrections.

The mathematical content, lesson design, instructional decisions, and final revisions remain my own.
