What is Eureka Math?

Great Minds® created Eureka Math® as an open educational resource (OER) originally known as Engageny Math, Eureka Math teaches students the underlying concepts of math—the why, not just the how. Students learn multiple strategies and models to solve math problems, rather than tricks or mnemonic devices to pass a test. While teachers across the country often supplement their programs with Eureka Math’s original OER materials, schools that have adopted the full curriculum resources detailed below have seen remarkable gains in student achievement and engagement in Grades PK–12.

AT THE CORE OF EUREKA MATH FOCUS

RIGOR

COHERENCE

With a great focus on fewer topics centered on the major work of the grade band, students develop an understanding of the why, not just the how behind the numbers.

Eureka Math exhibits unparalleled rigor throughout the grades. Students develop conceptual understanding and practice procedural skills and fluency. They also have opportunities to connect their learning with real-life application problems.

Topics, concepts, and mathematical models are linked across Eureka Math modules and grade levels to help students build an enduring understanding of math.

THE DIGITAL MATH SUPPORT YOU NEED Learning

Eureka Math in Sync™ has all the components of our high-quality Eureka Math curriculum plus additional digital resources that allow it to be used anywhere learning takes place. It offers daily direct instruction from a Great Minds® co-teacher through short digestible videos for each lesson, editable PDFs for student work, and planning and preparation resources for teachers.

Eureka Digital Suite

Assessment

Supplementing the assessments embedded throughout the curriculum, Affirm® provides digital Mid-Module and End-ofModule assessments with instant grading to help educators gauge and meet student needs. Affirm tracks student progress over time and provides opportunities for students to practice and prepare for standardized assessments.

The Eureka Digital Suite combines two essential digital resources: The Navigator, which is a digital version of the complete PK–12 curriculum, organized by grade level and complete with embedded professional development videos; and Teach Eureka, an on-demand video series featuring explanations of concepts and instructional strategies.

Diagnostic

Eureka Math Equip™ is a digital premodule adaptive diagnostic tool that identifies and addresses student learning gaps. Based on a student’s diagnostic results, Eureka Math Equip identifies the student’s last point of success and provides videos of targeted direct instruction and fluency activities to help students catch up while staying on track with grade-level content.

The most widely used K–5 math curriculum in the United States Print Materials

Great Minds is the only source for print editions of the PK–12 Eureka Math curriculum. A Teacher Edition is available for every module for every grade. In addition, the following student materials are available:

Grades K–5

• Learn books include Application Problems, Problem Sets, and Exit Tickets. • Practice books help students build math fluency and boost competency. • Succeed books include additional Problem Sets and Homework Helpers sheets for practice outside class. • The above books are available in Arabic, Armenian, French, Korean, Simplified Chinese (Grades 4–5), Traditional Chinese (Grades K–3), and Spanish.

Math Manipulatives

We offer a curated collection of classroom materials and tools that develop student understanding and maximize coherence between grades while minimizing classroom distractions.

Lesson Structure for Grades PK–5 (A Story of Units®)

Each PK–5 Eureka Math lesson includes the four distinct components below to promote balanced and rigorous instruction. (Prekindergarten lessons are 50 minutes; Grades K–5 lessons are 60 minutes.) • Fluency Practice includes daily opportunities for students to reinforce knowledge of concepts and skills learned. • Application Problems build students’ fluency with word problems and demonstrate how math serves a purpose in their daily lives. • Concept Development helps students master new content. • Student Debriefs close every lesson by challenging students to share their thinking so teachers can gauge their understanding before they move on to the Exit Ticket.

Concrete–Pictorial–Symbolic

The coherent progression of this model’s approach helps students develop a deep and lasting understanding of math. Students use physical and visual aids first to help them understand a concept before they work with abstract problems. Teachers can use this model for scaffolding and remediation as well.

Read–Draw–Write

With this approach, students focus on thinking about and modeling the relationships presented in a word problem. Students read and reread the problem, analyze the information in it, draw a model to help them understand the problem, and form their conclusion before writing the answer to the problem.

Professional Development

Great Minds is the only provider of Eureka Math professional development designed and led by the curriculum’s teacher–writers. Great Minds offers both virtual and in-person options for our multiyear sequence of professional development sessions.

Lesson Types for Grades 6–8 (A Story of Ratios®) and 9–12 (A Story of Functions®)

Mathematical content naturally increases in complexity with each grade level. Every 45-minute Grades 6–12 Eureka Math lesson is formatted as one of four types, each driven by the specific content of the lesson. • Problem Set Lessons consist of teacher-led examples that are generally followed by guided exercises in which students apply their understanding to related problems. • Socratic Lessons are primarily student–teacher discussions centered on difficult concepts. • Exploration Lessons present students with exploratory challenges in the form of activities and/or exercises in which partners or small groups work toward achieving a common goal. • Modeling Lessons involve the real-world application of mathematics. The lessons are primarily reserved for high school, but each middle school grade-level curriculum includes at least three modeling tasks.

The foundational topics (Lead, Launch, Focus on Fluency, Preparation and Customization) are recommended coursework for anyone implementing Eureka Math for the first time.

In Sustaining sessions, educators work with Eureka Math trainers to build capacity and deepen educators’ understanding of the curriculum. More seasoned practitioners who have completed some of the foundational courses can register for this advanced coursework that will strengthen their implementation of the curriculum.

Accessing Your Demo Account ................................................................ 2 Instructional Materials Walk-Through .................................................... 3 Implementation Support Resources....................................................... 9

Logging in to your Great Minds account A Eureka Math Resource account has been created for you. Please use the following credentials to access your account. Account Email Address: minookamath@demo.com Account Password: eureka If you have any questions, please contact Liz Rowoldt at liz.rowoldt@greatminds.org

Step 1 Go to greatminds.org and select LOGIN at the top right corner of your browser.

Step 2 Enter your Great Minds account credentials to sign in.

Step 3 Access the pinned resources that have been added to your account under MY DASHBOARD . The resources can also be accessed under MY RESOURCES .

Select Eureka Navigator (Digital Suite) on the MY DASHBOARD or MY RESOURCES screen.

Instructional Materials Walk-Through Access a Module The Curriculum Map is the first thing you see when you access the Eureka Navigator within the Eureka Digital Suite.

Eureka Math was carefully constructed as a logical progression of key concepts over time, creating enduring knowledge. Students gain a complete body of math knowledge, not just a discrete set of answer-

getting skills. Here you can see the Major Work for each grade to see the progression of mathematical understanding over time.

Module Map By selecting M3 (Module 3) under Grade 4, you can access the Module Map. This is a narrative of the mathematics within the module and a summary of the progression of topics. From the Module Map you can access • focus grade-level standards, • foundational standards, • methods of instructional delivery, • a list of math terminology used in the module (with definitions), • a materials list, • an assessment summary along with the standards assessed, and • a summary of scaffolds used throughout the module.

Access a Lesson By scrolling through the Module Map you can see a list of all the lessons included in the module, divided by topic. The topics are carefully sequenced to support the major concepts covered in the module. You can also see the number of instructional days dedicated to each topic. Each lesson links to the correlating teacher and student materials. Select on Lesson 7 to explore the lesson structure.

Lesson Structure At the top of the lesson you can see the Distribution of Minutes for each portion of the lesson. Based on extensive research, the lesson is carefully divided to include practice of previous concepts and development of understanding, as well as practice for new concepts, while fostering student engagement. Here you see the lesson components for Grades PK–5. Lesson Materials can be easily accessed for downloading and printing from the top right of the browser window. Teach Eureka videos are linked directly from the lesson. In each Teach Eureka video, a Eureka Math teacher–writer walks through a lesson, providing teachers with expert implementation support for every lesson. There are over 1,500 videos available in the Teach Eureka video series.

Lesson Components: Fluency Practice Every PK–5 lesson begins with a fluency exercise in which students use the knowledge they built in a previous lesson to solve problems in concrete and pictorial ways. Fluency activities provide opportunities for students to practice solving abstract problems and serve as minilessons to review their understanding of concepts.

Lesson Components: Application Problem The Application Problem serves as an introduction to a concept and is framed in concrete terms. The problem often includes using skills that can help students with real-world math problems in everyday life. Though this example doesn’t include manipulatives, some Application Problems ask students to use them. Each Application Problem also includes a video where a Eureka Math teacher–writer demonstrates one possible solution to the problem.

Teachers are also provided with in-context notes on how to differentiate instruction for students who may need an additional challenge.

Lesson Components: Concept Development Concept Development exercises are scaffolded, moving from simple to complex. Approximately 10 minutes in length, these quick exercises are designed to give students an opportunity to apply what they have learned about the lesson and topic concept. During the Concept Development portion of a lesson, students use knowledge they built during the concrete application exercises and learn how to represent pictorially or numerically.

Vignettes found in the Concept Development portion of a lesson are exemplars for instruction that can be used as a basis for study or discussion, not as a script during instruction.

Scaffolding is provided with examples teachers can use to support striving students to access the lesson.

The standards addressed can be quickly accessed within the lesson.

Lesson Components: Student Debrief The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and active processing of the lesson by guiding students in conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the lesson. Teacher prompts are provided to help facilitate the discussion.

Lesson Components: Assessments The Student Debrief is followed by the Exit Ticket, a formative assessment tool to ensure students have a firm understanding of the math concepts covered in the lesson. Eureka Math includes many opportunities for formative assessment so teachers can gauge students’ understanding of concepts throughout a module. The curriculum also provides Mid-Module and End-of-Module Assessments. To access these summative assessments for Grade 4 Module 3, select the Module 3 link at the top of the Navigator page and scroll through to the Module Map. A Progression Toward Mastery rubric can be found following the assessment rubric.

Criteria of Effective Math Programs 1. Standards Alignment & Integration a. Curricular materials align with college- and careerreadiness standards.

Meets Criteria

Yes

Evidence from Eureka Math

Eureka Math Alignment and Program Examples Eureka Math was designed to align fully with modern college- and career-readiness standards. Eureka Math teacher–writers developed the curriculum while closely consulting the seminal Progressions Documents, which lay out the structure of mathematics and research in cognitive development and serve as the basis for modern readiness standards. For detailed analyses demonstrating how each grade of Eureka Math aligns with your specific state standards, visit https://greatminds.org/resources/products/group/state-alignment-studies, select your state, and click Add to Dashboard in your Great Minds account.

b. Curricular materials integrate the Standards for Mathematical Practices.

Eureka Math prioritizes attention to the Standards for Mathematical Practice (MPs) over the course of each year, addressing all eight MPs in each grade level. The MPs are the practices necessary for students to reason mathematically, communicate conceptual understanding, and represent and solve problems. Rich tasks, development of flexible thinking, and frequent opportunities for student discourse encourage students to engage with the MPs during all lesson components. Because of the interconnected nature of the Mathematical Practices, engagement with one MP often leads to engagement with others. For example, students reasoning about the quantities in a problem (MP.2) need to understand the meaning of the problem and the relationship of those quantities (MP.1). The Teacher Edition’s Module Overview, which appears at the beginning of every module, lists the Focus Standards for Mathematical Practice along with a description of how each MP is applied. The curriculum clearly labels the MPs as they are applied in individual lessons. Margin notes do not indicate every instance the practice standards are addressed in lessons, but rather highlight noteworthy cases.

Page 3 of 15

Example In Grade 3 Module 1 Lesson 12 (p. 159), students select an appropriate pictorial model from those featured in the previous two lessons to solve an Application Problem. This process engages students with MP.5—use appropriate tools strategically—and exemplifies how Eureka Math promotes flexible thinking.

2. Focus

Yes

Curricular materials focus coherently on the major work of the grade.

Eureka Math Alignment and Program Examples Eureka Math focuses primarily on the major work of the grade. Lessons target the major work of each grade with depth and visible connections. Our Curriculum Maps indicate with an arrow an approximate date for standardized testing. The modules preceding the arrow focus on the major work of each grade; the subsequent modules generally focus on supporting work, which enhances and builds on work with the major work of the grade. To find the Curriculum Maps, go to the Resource section of www.greatminds.org, and add the Teacher Resource Pack to your account’s dashboard. The Teacher Resource Pack contains many helpful resources, including the Curriculum Maps.

3. Coherence

Yes

a. Curricular materials use logical incremental steps to build on learning from prior grades.

Eureka Math Alignment and Program Examples The Eureka Math teacher–writers carefully constructed the curriculum as a logical progression. Rather than checking off the boxes of separate disjointed skills, Eureka Math connects the major work for each grade to the larger progression of mathematical concepts over time. Eureka Math’s layered approach directs teachers to strategically revisit skills so that students develop mastery gradually over time; pursuit of mastery is not forced into a single lesson or module. Within each lesson, problems and exercises are intentionally sequenced from simple to complex, reducing supports incrementally to promote student discovery and productive struggle. Through this process, students apply previous knowledge to the new learning of the day.

Page 4 of 15

Throughout the modules, teachers will find explicit references to learning from previous grades. Module Overviews contain a Foundational Standards section, which outlines the standards from previous grade levels that provide a conceptual base for the new learning of the module. Example Topic Overviews list Coherence Links that demonstrate how the learning of each new standard builds on past learning and establishes a foundation for future learning. Topic Overviews appear in the Teacher Edition at the beginning of each topic.

b. Curricular materials use consistent models across grade levels.

Eureka Math uses the same core set of models and representations coherently within and across grade levels. Many models learned in Grades K–5 evolve along with the growing complexities of mathematics and are representative of similar models that appear in Grades 6–12. This emphasizes to older students that there isn’t “elementary school math,” “middle school math,” and “high school math,” or even “easy math” and “hard math”—it’s all a part of the same story. Example A Story of Units®, Eureka Math’s Grades K–5 curriculum, introduces number bonds to show compositions and decompositions of whole numbers in Kindergarten and then uses number bonds to show compositions and decompositions of fractions in Grade 3 and of decimals in Grade 4. The math becomes more accessible to and produces less anxiety in students because they already know how to draw a number bond—they know they have the tools to tackle these new challenges.

c. Curricular materials provide a variety of classroom experiences in a consistent lesson structure.

The majority of Grades K–5 lessons feature the same four critical components: Fluency Practice, Application Problem, Concept Development, and Student Debrief. 1. Fluency Practice: Lessons begin with one or more fluency activities designed for maintenance, preparation, and/or anticipation of key skills. Students have opportunities to monitor and celebrate their growth, to get on their feet and move, and to practice skills that are critical to the major work of the grade. 2. Application Problem: The daily Application Problem builds fluency with word problems and demonstrates to students how they use math in their daily lives—often without realizing it. 3. Concept Development: The Concept Development features intentionally sequenced exercises that attend to the objective of the lesson and support student learning through gradual removal of teacher supports. Exercises and Problem Sets are sequenced from simple to complex, creating an opportunity for teachers to differentiate assignments into either individual or small-group work and to quickly locate students’ last point of success as a check for understanding. 4. Student Debrief: The Student Debrief provides an opportunity for whole-group discussion. Students reflect on, and show evidence of, the learning of the day and make connections to past learning. Each lesson closes with an Exit Ticket, which provides teachers with student progress data they can use to gauge student understanding and customize future lessons. Example Each Teacher Edition lesson plan provides a suggested pacing guide. As the graphic below shows, the Concept Development component is generally the longest, as it directly addresses the new learning of the day.

d. Curricular materials use terminology that is accurate in earlier grades but is defined more precisely as students progress through grade levels.

4. Rigor

Yes

a. Curricular materials contain a balance of rigor.

Eureka Math outlines precise terms for both teachers and students to use consistently. Rather than using rhymes and catchphrases that oversimplify math and detract from the focus on conceptual understanding, Eureka Math uses accurate terminology that remains consistent across grade levels. This ensures that younger students are prepared for later grades and recognize the reappearance of concepts they have already learned. Students practice using key terms in teacher–student dialogue, in the Concept Development component as well as in the Student Debrief. Example The Terminology section of each Module Overview provides a list of key terms and their definitions. The Terminology section of Grade 1 Module 1 (p. 12), for example, distinguishes between New or Recently Introduced Terms and Familiar Terms and Symbols and connects those terms to the visual models and representations used throughout the module.

Eureka Math Alignment and Program Examples Eureka Math balances the three components of rigorous mathematics education: conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application to real-world contexts. Lessons provide experiences to expand, develop, apply, and practice conceptual understanding, as well as hone procedural and problem-solving skills through engaging real-world applications. The curriculum sometimes presents the three components separately but also often combines them, reinforcing the development of students as flexible thinkers on the path to mastery. Eureka Math addresses these areas with equal intensity, recognizing that all are vital parts of a coherent, effective curriculum. Page 7 of 15

b. Curricular materials support the development of students’ conceptual understanding of key mathematical concepts.

Eureka Math develops students’ conceptual understanding in critical ways, emphasizing deep knowledge building and ensuring that students understand the “why” rather than just the “how” of math. Concepts progress coherently so students understand that they are building on what they already know rather than starting over with every new topic. Conceptual Development progresses along a Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract sequence. Students first explore concepts through the hands-on use of manipulatives. Unlike many curricula that largely stop manipulative use after only a few grade levels, Eureka Math recognizes how vital the concrete stage is to conceptual understanding and therefore maintains consistent manipulative use throughout the elementary curriculum. Students then progress to drawing visual models and representations, which provides multiple points of entry and expands students’ problem-solving toolbox. These visual models are accompanied by the corresponding abstract symbolic representations, highlighting connections between the two. At the end of the progression, students can drop the pictorial representation and continue with the abstract representation. This progression builds a strong foundation of number sense and provides students with a deep conceptual understanding. Example

Page 8 of 15

c. Curricular materials are designed so that students attain the fluency and procedural skills that college- and careerreadiness standards require.

Each Eureka Math lesson begins with a short series of engaging Fluency Activities. Students actively participate in their own learning during fluency exercises. Whole-group activities such as Sprints are carefully designed to promote and celebrate individual growth while providing an engaging class opening to stimulate the joy in mathematics. The curriculum features three primary types of fluency: Sprints, white board exchanges, and counting activities. It also includes suggestions for other fluency activities, including mental math activities; interactive drills; quick and efficient games with dice, spinners, and cards; and written concept drills. These activities help students strengthen previously used skills, prepare for the learning of the day, and anticipate the learning of future lessons. Teachers can also use these activities as a check for understanding, identifying opportunities for intervention. The curriculum labels activities by standard, so teachers can swap out activities if they feel students need additional review for specific standards. Example Grade 4 Module 1 Lesson 1 opens with a Sprint and a Rapid White Board Exchange (p. 22). Lesson 2 begins with a group counting activity (p. 37). The Module Overview of Module 1 provides instructions for the administration of Sprints; find an example in Grade 4 Module 1 on page 11.

d. Curricular materials are designed to include application to realworld contexts.

Daily Application Problems provide real-world context, building fluency with word problems while demonstrating to students how math is always around them in their daily lives. Example For example, in the Application Problem of Grade 1 Module 1 Lesson 30 (p. 367), students determine the number of “good guys” versus “bad guys” in their action figure collection, while in the Application Problem of Grade 4 Module 1 Lesson 3 (p. 191), students calculate the difference in the number of texts a girl sends between months.

Page 9 of 15

Many lessons provide students with real-world application experiences that move math off the page and into the world around them. For example, in Grade 3 Module 7 Lessons 24–27 (pp. 322–365), students apply concepts of area and perimeter to make a paper robot and to build their robot a home. In Grade 1 Module 3 Lesson 3 (p. 46), students use string to measure different pathways through the classroom to determine where they should line up to get to recess the fastest. 5. Flexible Thinking Curricular materials encourage multiple solution paths to problem solving.

Yes

Eureka Math Alignment and Program Examples In Eureka Math, students often choose their own solution strategy—problems and activities may also ask students to provide responses in multiple forms. Students are prepared to make these decisions, as the coherent usage of pictorial models and representations leads students to develop many tools for their problem-solving toolbox. This provides multiple points of entry, creating access for all learning styles and encouraging flexible thinking. Additionally, students come to a deeper understanding of underlying concepts as they compare problem-solving strategies.

Students are further prompted to employ a Read-Draw-Write framework that encourages students to consistently approach problems from multiple perspectives. Students make sense of the part–whole relationships a problem by drawing a visual representation and then creating a number sentence or equation along with a written statement that expresses the answer in the context of the question. Example In the Grade 5 Module 1 Lesson 11 Problem Set (p. 172), students are first prompted to use a specific visual model and are later directed to choose between multiple options. This sequence demonstrates how multiple methods of problem solving and the gradual removal of supports encourage flexible thinking. 6. Access & Differentiation a. Curricular materials provide scaffolds and instructional supports for all students, including English learners.

Yes

Eureka Math Alignment and Program Examples Curriculum writers built Eureka Math on the researched-based Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The curriculum seamlessly embeds scaffolding through the simple-to-complex sequencing of exercises and Problem Set items. This logical sequence gradually reduces supports and builds in complexity, allowing teachers to identify students’ last point of understanding and to differentiate assignments for either individual or smallgroup work. For all students, the gradual reduction of supports builds independent thinking and encourages productive struggle. The lesson plans provide strategically placed margin notes, often categorized by UDL principles, that elaborate on the use of specific scaffolds at applicable times. The notes suggest supports and extensions for English learners, students with disabilities, students performing above grade level, and students performing below grade level. Page 10 of 15

Example In Grades K–5, the curriculum labels scaffolding boxes by UDL principles, as seen below in the margin notes from Grade 3 Module 1 Lesson 1.

b. Curricular materials provide opportunities for extension to meet the needs of all students, including above-grade-level advanced learners.

Throughout the curriculum, Eureka Math encourages teachers to assign classwork by using a “time frame” rather than a “task frame.” Within a given time frame, students are expected to do their personal best, working at their maximum potential. Some students will complete more work than others, and personal growth is emphasized over the number of correct responses. As a built-in extension, the final items in Problem Sets are often designed as synthesis items, drawing connections between multiple standards and providing an additional level of complexity for students who would benefit from a challenge. Further guidance for providing extensions appears in the margin notes and is also embedded in the lesson plans. For example, in Grade 1 Module 1, scaffolding boxes highlight extension opportunities in Lesson 2 (p. 37) and Lesson 11 (p. 158) as well as in the Application Problems of Lesson 4 (p. 67) and Lesson 9 (p. 134). Suggestions include prompting students to continue a pattern and challenging students to craft their own question. The Preparing to Teach a Lesson section in the Module Overview of each grade level’s Module 1 guides teachers in identifying examples and exercises as Must Do, Could Do, or Challenge! problems, according to the unique needs of their classrooms. Challenge! problems also make excellent extension work. In Grade 1 Module 1, this resource appears on pages 17–19.

c. Curricular materials include culturally relevant and culturally responsive instructional practices that are inclusive of a variety of cultures and ethnicities and are free from bias.

7. Assessment

Yes

Curricular materials include frequent and varied assessments that provide information to guide teachers and students.

Teacher–writers from across the country wrote Eureka Math to reflect the diverse experiences and backgrounds of students in today’s classrooms. The curriculum offers opportunities for students to explore themselves and their families and see positive representations of themselves through the materials. Names and pictures of people represent diversity, and problems and exercises relate to real-life experiences, perspectives, and contributions of people from various cultures, ethnicities, and gender identities.

Eureka Math Alignment and Program Examples Eureka Math employs a systematic approach to assessment: Daily formative assessments come in the form of Exit Tickets. Designed to help teachers reflect on what their students know and can do, Exit Ticket results drive instruction for the following day. Mid-Module and End-of-Module Assessments are designed to tie together knowledge and skills that have been addressed to that point in the module. Questions vary in complexity, spanning Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels 2 and 3. Some assessment items test understanding of specific topics, while others are synthesis items that assess more complex concepts that span multiple standards. Teacher Edition Mid-Module and End-ofModule Assessments include sample student work and standards-tagged rubrics to help teachers evaluate students’ achievement on the progression toward mastery. Eureka Math Affirm™, the curriculum’s digital assessment and practice platform for Grades 1–12, provides premade assessments as well as an item bank of more than 4,000 standards-tagged items that teachers can use to create custom assessments and differentiated assignments. Affirm’s extensive reporting features allow teachers and administrators to track student progress on a range of metrics. Note: Eureka Math does not provide diagnostic assessments; teachers wishing to administer diagnostic assessments in their classrooms can use the Foundational Standards section of each Module Overview as a guide to create this resource, as well as Affirm’s standards-tagged item bank.

8. Professional Development a. Curricular materials support teacher learning and understanding of mathematical concepts and standards.

Yes

Eureka Math Alignment and Program Examples One of the great strengths of Eureka Math is its usefulness as a professional development tool for teachers. Extensive teacher notes throughout the curriculum, as well as Module and Topic Overviews, provide explanations of important mathematical concepts and discussions about pedagogy, language, notation, lesson planning, and common student misconceptions. Many Eureka Math teachers have reported that they have developed a deeper understanding of the mathematics they teach. Modeled student–teacher vignettes in the Concept Development component of each lesson provide teachers with a picture of one way the lesson might look and sound while creating a clear conceptual understanding of the pedagogical content knowledge for the teacher. Vignettes are a helpful guide, not a script. Example In Grade 4 Module 1 Lesson 1, a student–teacher vignette provides a model of how teachers can lead students through the use of place value charts (pp. 23–25).

b. Curricular materials include multiple dimensions of professional development for teachers.

Professional Development is available to Eureka Math implementers in many forms, including embedded supports in the Teacher Edition, digital resources such as the Eureka Digital Suite and the Teacher Resource Pack (described in further detail in response to Criteria 9), and a series of in-person professional development sessions. Great Minds also offers on-site coaching and virtual professional development sessions. Find more information on Eureka Math PD sessions by visiting https://gm.greatminds.org/math/pd.

Page 3 of 14

Example In Grade 7 Module 1 Lesson 1 (p. 15), students explore the relationship between quantities in a word problem, decontextualizing the problem to calculate ratios and then restoring context to arrive at a final answer. This process engages students with MP.2—reason abstractly and quantitatively—and exemplifies how Eureka Math engages students with real-world contexts.

2. Focus

Yes

Curricular materials focus coherently on the major work of the grade.

Page 4 of 14

3. Coherence

Yes

a. Curricular materials use logical incremental steps to build on learning from prior grades.

b. Curricular materials use consistent models across grade levels.

Eureka Math uses the same core set of models and representations coherently within and across grade levels. Many models learned in Grades K–5 evolve along with the growing complexities of mathematics and are representative of similar models that appear in Grades 6–12. This emphasizes to older students that there isn’t “elementary school math,” “middle school math,” and “high school math,” or even “easy math” and “hard math”—it’s all a part of the same story. Example In Eureka Math, students start to use tape diagrams as early as Grade 1. In Grade 6, students begin to apply tape diagrams as a useful problem-solving tool in algebraic concepts. Students continue to use tape diagrams in Grade 7, Grade 8, and Algebra.

Grade 6

Page 5 of 14

Algebra Module Overviews open with a narrative outlining the module’s progression of mathematical concepts and demonstrating how those concepts can be expressed pictorially. For example, the Module Overview of Grade 6 Module 1 (pp. 7-8) uses visuals of a tape diagram, a double number line diagram, a ratio table, and a coordinate plane to represent the same equivalent ratios. c. Curricular materials provide a variety of classroom experiences.

Eureka Math organizes Grades 6-12 into four lesson types: Modeling Cycle, Exploration, Problem Set, and Socratic. In Modeling Cycle lessons, students use mathematics to model real-world situations, which often facilitates cross-curricular connections. Exploration lessons present students with an exploratory challenge(s) in the form of activities and/or exercises in which partners or small groups work toward achieving a common goal. Problem Set lessons feature teacher-led examples that are generally followed by guided exercises in which students apply their understanding working individually or in small groups. Lessons often include short discussions that help students make critical connections to develop their understanding of concepts. Socratic lessons feature a whole-group discussion that facilitates a deep dive into complex concepts. This diversity in lesson type allows students to actively engage with a diverse range of activities, while also ensuring a balance in the three components of rigor. All lessons contain a Closing, which encourages students to reflect on the new learning of the day and promotes the development of precise mathematical discourse. Example Grade 6 Module 1 Topic C (p. 132) contains all four lesson types.

Page 6 of 14

d. Curricular materials use terminology that is accurate in earlier grades but is defined more precisely as students progress through grade levels.

4. Rigor

Yes

a. Curricular materials contain a balance of rigor.

Eureka Math balances the three components of rigorous mathematics education: conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application to real-world contexts. Lessons provide experiences to expand, develop, apply, and practice conceptual understanding, as well as hone procedural and problem-solving skills through engaging real-world applications. The curriculum sometimes presents the three components separately but also often combines them, reinforcing the development of students as flexible thinkers on the path to mastery. Eureka Math addresses these areas with equal intensity, recognizing that all are vital parts of a coherent, effective curriculum.

b. Curricular materials support the development of students’ conceptual understanding of key mathematical concepts.

Eureka Math outlines precise terms for both teachers and students to use consistently. Rather than using rhymes and catchphrases that oversimplify math and detract from the focus on conceptual understanding, Eureka Math uses accurate terminology that remains consistent across grade levels. This ensures that students are prepared for later grades and recognize the reappearance of concepts they have already learned. Students practice using key terms to craft precise mathematical arguments in Socratic lessons and the Closing section of all lesson types. The Terminology section of each Module Overview provides a list of key terms and their definitions. For example, the Terminology section of Algebra Module 1 (pp. 9-10) distinguishes between New or Recently Introduced Terms and Familiar Terms and Symbols and connects those terms to key topics explored throughout the module. No

Eureka Math Alignment and Program Examples

Conceptual Development progresses from the visual to the abstract. Students learn to draw visual models and representations, which provides multiple points of entry and expands students’ problem-solving toolbox. These visual models are accompanied by the corresponding abstract symbolic representations, highlighting connections between the two. At the end of the progression, students can drop the pictorial representation and keep only the abstract symbolic representation. This progression builds a strong foundation of conceptual understanding and highlights connections between concepts.

c. Curricular materials are designed so that students attain the fluency and procedural skills that college- and careerreadiness standards require.

d. Curricular materials are designed to include application to realworld contexts.

In the lessons, problems and exercises progress from simple-to-complex. Simpler problems often develop procedural fluency, while more complex problems promote flexible thinking as students choose their own set of problem-solving strategies. Grades 6-8 include Sprints, whole-group activities carefully designed to promote and celebrate individual growth while stimulating the joy in mathematics. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate quick fluency activities at the beginning of class where formative assessment indicates gaps in understanding. Example Grade 6 Module 3 Lesson 10 (p. 97) contains a Sprint to promote fluency in writing inequality statements. Exercises in Problem Set and Exploration lessons provide real-world context, building fluency with word problems while demonstrating to students how math is always around them in their daily lives; Socratic Lessons often foster a dialogue exploring a concept through the lens of a real-world situation. Example For example, a Grade 6 Module 1 Socratic lesson (p. 109) explores the connection between ratio tales and representations on the coordinate plane through the lens of a girl traveling with her soccer team to a tournament.

Many Modeling Cycle lessons provide students with experiences that move math off the page and into the world around them. For example, in Algebra II Module 1 Lessons 20 and 21, students are assigned the role of EPA surveyors and model a riverbed to establish flood zones. Copyright © 2019 Great Minds®
