Mathematics

Eureka Math² is the math curriculum we use in our classroom to help your child build a deep, lasting understanding of mathematics. Instead of just memorizing rules and formulas, students learn why math works through hands-on activities, visual models, and problem-solving.

What Makes Eureka Math² Unique?

  • Focus on Understanding: Students use objects and drawings to visualize math concepts before moving to abstract numbers and equations.

  • Consistent Models: The curriculum uses the same visual tools (like tape diagrams and number bonds) across grade levels so students can build on what they already know.

  • Math Talk: Lessons encourage students to discuss their thinking, share different ways to solve problems, and learn from one another.

How You Can Support Your Child at Home

  • Ask "How did you get that?": Instead of just checking if an answer is right, ask your child to explain their thinking or show you the model they used.

  • Embrace Mistakes: Mistakes are a natural and valuable part of learning math. Encourage your child to see what they can discover from an incorrect answer.

  • Use Family Resources: Keep an eye out for Family Math letters sent home at the start of each topic. These explain the strategies your child is learning and offer fun, quick activities you can do together.

Our goal is to build your child's confidence and help them see themselves as capable mathematicians!
