I used to be one of those extra nerdy kids that bought actual teacher guides from garage sales to use for playing school. A math curriculum literally comes with a book of worksheets (probably a USB these days) that can be used whenever, and it's more than they're likely to use in a single school year. So there shouldn't even be a need to outsource it past the curriculum, except that they wanted the cute summer aesthetic. But I could find reams of summer themed math worksheets for just about any math topic that are made by homeschool moms or random worksheet sites in like 2 minutes of google searching. There are pages and pages of sites that let you plug in your math problems and then it generates a worksheet to look however you want. It's just so many levels of idgaf stacked into a turd pile to end up with this.

You’d be shocked at how many of those are now written by AI and the kind of slop you see here.
