Overview of the Curriculum
Eureka Math, also known as EngageNY Math, is a comprehensive curriculum designed
for kindergarten to 12th grade students, aligned with the Common Core State Standards (Eureka
Math® - Elementary and Middle School Math Curriculum, n.d.). It prioritizes conceptual
understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Eureka Math's approach involves
gradual learning progression, transitioning from concrete experiences to abstract concepts
(Eureka Math® - Elementary and Middle School Math Curriculum, n.d.). The curriculum's
lessons include fluency practice, application problem-solving, and concept development,
encouraging students to engage actively and explain their strategies. Notable features include
fluency "sprints," diverse instructional strategies, and resources for differentiation. Eureka Math
aims to build deep mathematical comprehension, prepare students for real-world challenges, and
offers educators a structured framework for effective teaching (Eureka Math® - Elementary and
Middle School Math Curriculum, n.d.).
Plan for Curriculum Implementation:
Implementing the Eureka Math curriculum is justified by its alignment with the Common
Core State Standards, ensuring students receive education aligned with established benchmarks.
The curriculum's emphasis on conceptual understanding over memorization equips learners with
a strong foundation and problem-solving skills. Its coherent progression from concrete to
abstract concepts caters to diverse learning styles while minimizing gaps. Eureka Math's
interactive approach fosters engagement and active participation, encouraging deeper
comprehension. Teacher support resources facilitate effective instruction, accommodating
educators of all levels. The curriculum's focus on critical thinking and differentiation prepares
