Will this help with my child's 1st grade science homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers the same topics Montana 1st graders study in school, so your child can watch a lesson or work through practice problems right when they need help with an assignment.

How long are the video lessons for 1st grade science?

Most video lessons are short and focused, typically just a few minutes each, so young learners can follow along without losing attention. Your child can pause and replay any part as many times as needed.

Is there a Montana state science test for 1st grade?

Montana does not administer a statewide science assessment in 1st grade. State science assessments in Montana are given at selected grade levels later in elementary and middle school, not in Grade 1.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can access their 1st grade science lessons at home, in the car, or wherever it is most convenient for your family.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see how it works before committing. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee if you subscribe and decide it is not the right fit for your child.
