Indiana E-Learning Days: Middle School Math Units for Grades 7–9
Indiana E-Learning Days: Middle School Math Units for Grades 7–9
Indiana caps e-learning days at three a year under HB 1093, so each one should review real math, not filler. The Middle School Math Core Units Bundle gives you six Grades 7–9 units, from equations and linear functions to the Pythagorean theorem and probability, to pull e-learning assignments from. Set them up now and the first snowy morning costs you nothing.
Go to the math bundleThe Middle School Math Core Units Bundle costs $89.99 and contains six Grades 7–9 units: Terms and Equations, the Linear Functions Unit, the Pythagorean Theorem with applications, Quadratic Functions and Parabolas, Percentages and Interest, and Chance & Events with dice experiments. Bought separately the units cost $144.94. It is not a full-year course, but it gives you strong material for Indiana's three e-learning days and for regular class.

The real problem
Three days, no extras: the Indiana constraint
Indiana's HB 1093, passed in 2022, limits schools to three e-learning days a year. After those, a closure has to be handled another way. That cap shapes how a math teacher should plan. You will not get a string of remote days to run a new unit, so an e-learning day is best spent practicing something students have already been taught. The trouble is that middle school math moves fast and each grade needs something different. A 7th grader working on percentages, an 8th grader on linear functions and a 9th grader starting parabolas cannot share one generic worksheet. Remote math also exposes gaps faster than reading does: a student who cannot set up an equation sits stuck at home with nobody to ask, and the assignment comes back blank. You need tasks with clear structure, problems that build in difficulty, and an answer source for checking afterward. And because Indiana weather ignores your pacing calendar, the tasks should come from topics you can drop in at almost any point in the year, not just from the unit you happen to be teaching that week.
Why it fits
How the six units serve an e-learning day
The bundle is a set of topic units, which is what a capped number of remote days calls for.
- Terms and Equations works as review for 7th and 8th graders at almost any point in the year.
- The Linear Functions Unit covers slope and intercept, a staple for an 8th grade review day.
- The Pythagorean theorem unit centers on applications, which gives students word problems with a purpose.
- Percentages and Interest ties math to everyday situations, helpful when parents are the only support nearby.
- Chance & Events builds on dice experiments, easy to try at home if the family owns dice.
- Quadratic Functions and Parabolas gives your oldest or strongest students a meaty review set.
Getting started
Setting up your three e-learning days
A suggested approach. Fit it to your school's e-learning procedures, including how attendance and submissions are handled.
- Match units to the grades you teachGive 7th grade Terms and Equations or Percentages and Interest, 8th grade the Linear Functions Unit, and 9th grade quadratic functions. The Pythagorean theorem and probability units can go either way, depending on your course.
- Choose review, not new teachingPick sections students have already learned in class. With only three days available, a day that reviews well is worth more than one that introduces a topic nobody can ask questions about.
- Build three ready assignmentsLoad each one into your learning platform as a draft, and keep a printed copy for students with poor connections. Label them e-learning day 1, 2 and 3 rather than by date.
- End each day with a short checkClose each assignment with three or four problems students submit. That gives you quick evidence of participation and shows exactly who needs help once class resumes.
- Refresh after each one is usedWhen a day has been used, replace it with a section from the next unit you plan to teach. By spring the remaining assignments should reflect what students have covered since fall.
What to buy
The right bundle for your math classes
Choose the Middle School Math Core Units Bundle ($89.99, parts $144.94) if you teach Grades 7–9 and want one source for several grades. If your students are younger or still shaky on fractions, the Middle School Math Starter Bundle ($54.99, parts $77.96) covers fractions, compass constructions and algebraic expressions for Grades 5–9. The Algebra Foundations Bundle ($59.99, parts $79.96) is four workbooks on expressions, equations and inequalities, real numbers and ratio. For an Algebra 1 class, the Algebra 1 Pathway Bundle ($44.99, parts $59.97) adds linear functions, systems of equations and quadratics.
Honest limits
What to check before relying on it
None of these bundles was written for Indiana. They carry no Indiana standards codes and nothing about e-learning rules, so compare the units with your district's math standards and your school's e-learning plan. The bundle is six topic units, not a full-year course for any grade. No software or online platform is included; you deliver the work through whatever system your school already uses, or on paper. The license covers your own classes; for a department, contact Teach Lessons first. If it does not fit, exchange it within 7 days for store credit of equal value.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Is this bundle aligned to Indiana's math standards?
No. It is not aligned to, endorsed by or approved under Indiana's math standards, and it was not built around HB 1093. It is a general Grades 7–9 math resource. Check each unit against the standards your district follows and against your school's e-learning expectations before you assign it.
Does it work for students without internet at home?
Yes, as long as you plan for it. The materials work for print and digital classrooms, so you can print a packet for students with unreliable connections and post the same tasks online for everyone else. Have both versions ready before the first closure, and tell students in advance where to find the assignment.
Can I use one unit for all three e-learning days?
You can, if your class is in the middle of that topic. Splitting one unit across three days keeps things consistent for students. Many teachers will still prefer to spread the days across two or three units, so each review lands on a different skill and no class sees the same topic three times in one winter.
Can I buy only the units for my grade?
Yes. Each of the six units is also sold on its own and linked on the bundle page, so a 7th grade teacher can buy just the units they need. The bundle starts to make sense once you want three or more of them, and it also covers students who move ahead faster than the rest.
Does the TEACHMORE15 code apply?
No. TEACHMORE15 only works when you buy two or more Complete Curriculum packages. It does not apply to bundles like this one, which is already priced well below the cost of its six parts bought individually. The bundle price of $89.99 is the price you pay at checkout.
Can the whole math department share it?
The license is for your own teaching. For use across a department or school, send Teach Lessons a short message before you share anything. The files should never be posted publicly or uploaded to a site that people outside your class can reach, such as a public class page.
Spend your three days well
