resources according to academic subjects, using an appealing display of photos and illustrations for

collection according to eight categories: language arts; math; science; U.S. history; U.S. time
periods; world studies; arts and music; and health and physical education.

Each category follows with a subgroup that helps to fine-tune the search for resources. For instance,

explores applied, earth, life, physical and space sciences, while the math group looks at algebra,
data analysis, geometry, measurement, and numbers and operations.
