Read on to learn a little bit about Eureka Math, the creators of A Story of Units:
Eureka Math is a complete, PreK12 curriculum and professional development platform. It follows
the focus and coherence of the Common Core State Standards and carefully sequences the
progression of mathematical ideals into expertly crafted instructional modules.

This curriculum is distinguished not only by its adherence to the CCSS. It is also based on a theory
of teaching math that is proven to work. That theory posits that mathematical knowledge is
conveyed most effectively when it is taught in a sequence that follows the story of mathematics
itself. This is why we call the elementary portion of Eureka Math "A Story of Units." The sequencing
has been joined with methods of instruction that have been proven to work, in this nation and
abroad. These methods drive student understanding beyond process, to deep mastery of
mathematical concepts.

The goal of Eureka Math is to produce students who are not merely literate, but fluent, in
mathematics. Your student has an exciting year of discovering the story of mathematics ahead!

Sample Problem from Module 1:


(Example taken from Module 1, Lesson 14)

___________

3 is the same as ______ and _______.

3 apples = _____ apples + ______ apple.
