Eureka – A Story of Units
A comprehensive curriculum written by a
team of teachers and mathematicians who took great care to present mathematics in a logical progression, preparing students to understand advanced math
Developed specifically to meet the math
standards adopted by our state
Connects math to the real world in ways
that take the fear out of math and build student confidence
Teaches math as a “story” to build students’
mathematical knowledge logically and help them achieve deep understanding
This approach can be unfamiliar to those of
us who grew up memorizing mathematical facts and formulas
Understand that students are learning math in
a way that will prepare them for the higher demands of college and careers today and in the future
Focused math skills and real-world, challenging problems
Read the Parent Roadmap for your child’s
grade level
At the beginning of each module…
Read the Parent Tip Sheet to get an overview of the topics your child will be learning and how you can support this learning at home
Recognize that Eureka Math lessons can be
customized by teachers to meet the varying needs of students
