To help support learning and teach our math standards, we teach using Eureka Math Squared. Eureka Math Squared has 6 different units that include place value concepts for addition and subtraction, place value concepts for multiplication and division, multiplication and division of multi digit numbers, foundations for fraction operations, place value concepts for decimal fractions, and angle measurements and plane figures.
Wit & Wisdom is used to guide students and teachers through the reading and writing standards, in addition to speaking / listening and language skills. The standards are taught through four thematic units. Students will be engaged in reading and discussing several texts within each unit. These units are titled A Great Heart, Extreme Settings, The Redcoats are Coming, and Myth Making.
