Virtual Eureka Math Family Night | Monday, August 21 at 6 p.m.
District 41 has used a math curriculum called Eureka Math for seven years. Great Minds, the company that publishes Eureka, has released an updated edition of Eureka, called Eureka Math2 (Eureka Squared). An elementary pilot of Eureka Squared was conducted last year and concluded at the end of February. Pilot teachers were asked to complete a rubric evaluating the curriculum and were also asked to provide a recommendation as to whether or not the district should move to Eureka Squared for the elementary math curriculum. 87% recommended that the district move to Eureka Squared beginning with the 23-24 school year.
While the changes aren’t significantly different, there are some key differences. We are excited to share that the district is offering a virtual parent information night with a representative from Eureka on August 21st from 6-7 p.m. The Eureka representative will provide an overview of the Eureka2 math curriculum as well as the various parent and home support resources that are available. There will also be time built in for questions. We are working with our translation partners to translate a recording of the presentation for our many multilingual families as well. We hope you can join us! Login information for the event is included below.
Eureka Math is looking forward to collaborating with D41 in organizing Family Math Night for the local district community and family members. By the end of this session, participants will:
Learn an overview of the Eureka Math curriculum,
Explore cohesive models within Eureka Math
Engage in solving math problems
