Eureka is the Math Curriculum for MCPS.
Each lesson in A Story of Units is comprised of four critical components. Each component described below serves a distinct purpose.
Fluency practice
Application Problem
Concept Development (including the Problem Set)
Student Debrief (including the Exit Ticket)
Together, they promote balanced and rigorous instruction.

Homework Helpers
Found in “Succeed” book for each lesson
Walks through what was learned in the lesson for each day, and gives examples for how to solve problems related to the new learning.
TOPICS COVERED THIS YEAR...
• Adding and subtracting whole numbers up to 1 million quickly and accurately
• Solving multi-step word problems, including problems involving measurement and converting measurements from larger to smaller units
• Multiplying and dividing multi-digit numbers
• Extending understanding of fractions by comparing the size of two fractions with
different numerators (top numbers) and different denominators (bottom numbers)
• Creating equal fractions (3 ⁄4 = 3x2⁄4x2 = 6 ⁄8)
• Adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator
• Building fractions from smaller fractions (3 ⁄8 = 1⁄8+⁄1 8+⁄1 8)
• Connecting addition and subtraction of whole numbers to multiplying fractions by whole numbers
• Connecting addition of fractions to the concept of angle measurement
• Representing and interpreting data
• Converting fractions with denominators of 10 or 100 into decimals
• Locating decimals on a number line
• Comparing decimals and fractions using the symbols > (more than), = (equal to), and < (less than)
