Critical thinking at every level, for every student
I’ve taught many different math curricula. By far, Eureka Math has been the one that I’ve enjoyed the most because of the higher expectations it has for students. —Rita M. Falcon District 49, CO
In 2013, Eureka Math® transformed math instruction nationwide, because we believed students deserved more.
More rigor More context More “why?” More confidence More joy
A new standard for high-quallity curriculum Great Minds® led the charge to raise standards for all children by developing Eureka Math, a high-quality math curriculum that set the bar for other curricula. Since then, Eureka Math has become the most widely used K–5 math curriculum in the country, improving student performance and fundamentally changing how students build math knowledge.
Giving students voice and choice
Eureka Math paved the way for a new kind of knowledge-based instruction—one that taught math as a body of knowledge and not simply disparate skills. No more rote memorization. No more tricks. No more “carrying the one.” Eureka Math embraced the idea that there are many different ways to solve the same problem and that a deep, coherent understanding of math concepts builds enduring knowledge.
The difference is
greater.
Unlike other curricula, which may use disparate and piecemeal approaches to delivering math content, Eureka Math takes a holistic approach, with the entire PK–12 journey in mind. Students focus deeply on fewer topics, creating building blocks in the early grades that they’ll use to take on more intricate math concepts later on—gaining an unshakable understanding of the concepts that matter most.
Eureka Math ensures equity in instruction. Creating equity in the classroom starts with giving teachers high-quality curricula and the right support to help students achieve greatness. Eureka Math includes extensive professional development resources and easy-to-follow implementation notes for every lesson, topic, and module. The Teach Eureka video series further supports new implementers. Each video focuses on modeling the lesson being taught, so teachers—especially those new to the classroom—benefit from direct coaching from an experienced Eureka Math veteran. With over 1,000 hours of coaching and professional development available for all Eureka Math teachers—on demand—the Teach Eureka series ensures equity in instruction.
Deep knowledge for all
Eureka Math focuses on every grade level’s major work to ensure that students develop a deep understanding of math. The curriculum’s coherence, bolstered by its recurring use of engaging manipulatives and flexible models that evolve with students from Prekindergarten through Grade 12, helps students build layers of enduring knowledge with every module The curriculum’s rigor is unparalleled. The Learn, Practice, Succeed, and Student Edition workbooks help all learners build math fluency and reinforce the strong conceptual understanding that Eureka Math helps them build. As a result, when students encounter math in school or in the real world, they have multiple ways to tackle even the most challenging math problems.
Most of my students were two or three grade levels behind. The tape diagram, in particular, transformed how they engaged with the content, making math so much more applicable and approachable for them. —Nick H. Shelby County, TN
Eureka Math is the
complete solution.

Inspired teachers
inspire students.
Approximately 75 percent of our 1,200 employees are or have been teachers, so we know the importance of improving teacher practice.
As math instruction continues to shift from teaching “how” to teaching “why,” educators need first-class support so they can lead their students in building deep, enduring knowledge. Because when teachers feel prepared and well versed in the curricula, students thrive.
Sustained support from a trusted colleague With the proper support, high-quality instructional materials can transform teaching and learning. And who better to provide that support than the people who created the actual curriculum? Our expert team of teacher–writers crafted all our professional development, and each of our sessions is led by educators with firsthand experience teaching the curriculum.
Professional Development Sessions Created by the expert team of teacher–writers behind Eureka Math, our in-person and virtual PD sessions include a series for teachers and leaders to ensure strong initial implementation as well as sessions designed for sustained success.
Coaching Coaches from the Eureka Math team expertly guide educators to apply what they learn in PD sessions to their own classrooms and schools. Through modeling and observation, Great Minds coaches help teachers improve implementation and help leaders develop effective ways to support, understand, and evaluate classroom practices. Coaching options vary for inperson and virtual sessions.

The world around us is
endlessly interesting. Knowledge isn’t provided at birth or gained by status. It’s earned through curiosity, fueled by enlightenment, grown by enrichment. Knowledge is marked by visible eureka moments, and each moment creates an insatiable thirst for another.
