EUREKA MATH FAQs:

Why was Eureka chosen as the DCPS Math resource for this school year?

In a study published by EdReports, Eureka Math was the only math curriculum deemed as meeting the shifts of the Common Core across grades K-8. Additionally, a DCPS Math Team convened a group of Teachers, Instructional Coaches, Administrators and Central Office staff to serve on a focus group that reviewed and recommended the Eureka curriculum.

What does a typical Math lesson look like?

In grades K-5, lessons include:

Fluency Routines such as Sprints, Happy Counting and Say Ten Way that build energy and excitement.

Concept Development e.g. observing patterns, comparing alternate methods of problem solving, noticing differences

Application Problems intended to allow students to apply their understandings while clarifying misconceptions or misunderstandings

Student Debrief intended to invite reflection and active processing of the total lesson experience.

Exit Ticket for students to review their work.

Homework

How is the Eureka curriculum organized?

Each lesson has an objective that is tied to a Topic that presents a Problem Set that includes calculations, word problems and work at both the pictorial and abstract levels.

Lessons are grouped into Modules. Students may be assessed midway through a Module or at the end of a Module.
