Numbers should add up to more than the right answer. They should inspire aha moments and joyful connections. Eureka Math set a new standard for rigor, coherence, and focus in the classroom so students gain a deeper understanding of the why behind the numbers, all while making math more enjoyable to learn and teach.
Thoughtfully constructed and designed like a story, Eureka Math is meticulously coherent, with an intense focus on key concepts that layer over time, creating enduring knowledge. Students gain a complete body of math knowledge, not just a discrete set of skills. They use the same models and problem-solving methods from grade to grade, so math concepts stay with them, year after year.
Did you know that 2,200 years ago the Greek astronomer and mathematician Aristarchus of Samos was the first scientist to calculate the distance to the moon by using careful observations, measurements, and a geometric model? It took 2,000 years for someone to come up with a better method! Calculating the distance to the moon is just one example of the real-world problems embedded throughout the Eureka Math curriculum.
Eureka Math is a holistic Prekindergarten through Grade 12 curriculum that carefully sequences mathematical progressions in expertly crafted modules, making math a joy to teach and learn. We provide in-depth professional development, learning materials, and a community of support.

Elementary mathematics in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is designed to create mathematical thinkers. Learning progresses from the concrete to the abstract, building essential conceptual understanding and mathematical fluency, simultaneously developing both mathematical content and language.
Instruction in the elementary classroom utilizes Eureka Math: a coherent, aligned, focused curriculum. By using common models and problem solving methods, and an established math block, the student experience progresses smoothly from one grade to the next, and ensures consistency across schools. More information can be found on the Eureka Math Great Minds website.
Zearn's curriculum incorporates the best content from the highest-rated OER curricula to create an engaging, accessible, and coherent math learning experience for all students. Zearn Math is the only EdReports greenlit curriculum with top-rated digital lessons to support instruction.
Eureka Math, a Common Core-aligned curriculum published by the non-profit Great Minds Inc., equates mathematical concepts to stories, with the aim of developing conceptual understanding. Like Common Core, it encourages students to use various mental strategies to solve problems, and to focus on the process instead of the answer.
Birney Elementary and hundreds of other Louisiana schools have designated Eureka as their math roadmap, after the state Education Department gave the curriculum high marks in 2013. Yet the program has its critics, including some parents, teachers and school administrators who lament that it asks too much, too soon of students, particularly in the younger grades. Its strategies have been lambasted as confusing and unnecessary. The St. Tammany Parish School Board has abandoned it altogether, and several other school systems only use it sparingly.
Eureka has local roots, but national ties. The group behind it is a Washington D.C.-based non-profit publisher that was once called Common Core Inc. but that is in no way related to the actual Common Core State Standards Initiative, sponsored by the National Governors Association and Council of Chief State School Officers. After the non-profit published a Common Core-aligned English and language arts curriculum in 2010, its president and executive director, Lynne Munson, began hearing from educators who wanted one for math, too.
Please take a moment to explore the links below. The first link takes you to the Eureka Math website designed specifically with you, the parent, in mind. There are many helpful resources here divided into grade levels and subject matter. The second link is a set of videos developed by Duan Habecker on his YouTube channel. The videos provide step-by-step support for lessons taught during math. While the teachers at Pyle are using an updated version of Eureka Math lessons, so there is no longer a direct correlation between the module numbers we are studying and the videos. However, the concepts and strategies for the topics remain the same.
TK-5th grade students at Salida Union School District use the Eureka Math from GreatMinds Math Curriculum. Eureka Math, also known as Engage NY, is a math curriculum that sequences the mathematical progressions in a logical order in modules. This curriculum is designed to reduce gaps in student learning, instill persistence in problem solving, and prepare students to understand advanced math.
