Small steps. Extraordinary discoveries.

Elementary learning,
one idea at a time.

Explore numbers, words, and the thinking that connects them. Upright Learning Quest brings elementary math and English language arts into one learning space.

Try a little math and reading together

Read this short scene aloud or independently, then explain your thinking.

Mia puts 3 red blocks and 4 blue blocks in a box.

Think about the numbers

How many blocks are in the box? Draw the two groups, then count all the blocks.

See the math example

3 + 4 = 7 blocks. The two groups join to make one group of seven.

Find a detail in the sentence

What color are the four blocks? Point to the words that tell you.

See the reading example

The four blocks are blue. The words “4 blue blocks” give the detail.

Make room for an explanation

After an answer, ask “How did you figure that out?” A child might count objects, draw a picture, point to a word, or explain a step aloud. Choose an activity that fits what they are working on with their teacher.

Ready for your learning path?

Students sign in with a teacher's code.

These sample activities are open to read. Individual student lessons use the code provided by the student's teacher.

  1. Ask your teacher for your student code. Math and ELA use separate codes.
  2. Open Student sign-in and choose your subject. Enter the code for that subject.
  3. Add your school email only if your teacher assigned one. Then open your learning path.

Keep your code private. If a code is missing or does not work, ask your teacher for help. Your progress belongs to your own learning path.
