Eureka Math is a TK-8 Math program used by a handful of academy teachers. Eureka Math is also the primary curriculum that the Zearn K-5 math program uses for their instructional model. Therefore, all of the Zearn K-5 resources are compatible with Eureka and vice versa. Check out the resources below for this curriculum.
Eureka Assessments
Eureka Assessments
The assessments that come with the Eureka curriculum are quite wordy and often have questions spread out across many pages. These assessments condense the questions into 1-2 pages and are easier for students to navigate independently.
Instructional Videos
Instructional Videos
These videos are great to provide to your families for home study days and for a way for them to learn the content alongside their child. The lessons are sorted by module. (Remember, these videos should not replace your instruction during class!)

A group of amazingly generous educators created this shared Google Folder with TONS of resources for the curriculum. If you need something -- it's most likely in here! It's best if you download it to your drive for faster access throughout the school year.

To step away from the "I do, we do, you do" model of teaching and get your students actively participating in the math in the Eureka textbook, please explore the first three concepts in the book Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics. (Click on the image of the book to be taken to Amazon to order)
To implement these strategies with the Eureka content, it's best if you choose 2-4 problems to ask your random groups to attempt while you circle the room providing feedback. With this strategy, you will not be able to cover all of the questions in the Eureka book - and that's okay! Your students are getting the value of discussing ideas, defending their thoughts, and trying the math on vertical surfaces (again, see that book for more information!) and that is extremely valuable in mathematics.

Typically, the teacher will lead their class through the Problem Set in a whole group or small group setting. Then, the students attempt the Homework page(s) independently. However, like all curriculum options, there is room to customize this for your classroom needs. For example, if you prefer to teach in centers/stations, you can have a problem set/learning station, a homework station, and an "other" station. For home study days, you can choose to use the instructional videos above, have parents work through the problem set with their child, or simply complete alternate practice problems/critical thinking tasks based on the content you are currently learning.

Eureka provides consolidation guides so that you can see which lessons can be skipped, shortened, or combined throughout the year. Access them here.
Are there any digital resources aligned with Eureka?
Are there any digital resources aligned with Eureka?
Yes!
IXL has Eureka alignments. (Scroll down about halfway on this page and look for the green Eureka book)
Are there any digital tests I can use instead of paper?
Are there any digital tests I can use instead of paper?
Yes and no. Yes - they've been started and some of them are completely finished and ready to go. No because some of them are not done yet. You're welcome to make a copy of any of these tests and then continue editing them as well. Most of them are 90-100% finished. Access the tests here.
