What unit is your 1st grader on in Eureka Math?

[Anonymous]

I think our teacher is making super slow progress in Eureka Math and our 1st grader is super bored. Where are 1st grade classes typically at this point in the year?

Looks like we're on Module 2, Lesson 18

OP do you think the teacher is not keeping pace with the county scope and sequence? Your child's boredom may be a separate issue.

I couldn't tell you.

2nd grader is finishing up module 4. School sends the details in their weekly email.

Math moves really slowly. It's probably not your kid, OP. Send him or her to RSM or another enrichment program.

This. Until 4th grade, when kids can take compacted math, the curriculum is painfully slow.

We are on Module 2 maybe lesson 19. But my DS's teacher is enriching the class with second grade math and honestly it looks super similar to the first grade stuff.

Disagree, they learned maybe 2 math stratgies in first grade, 2nd grade has 5 or 6.

Eureka moves really slowly, especially with the number bonds.

That's because they just started using the second grade workbook and it is looking similar to what they are doing now mid year in first. I'm sure that they learn more as the 2nd grade Eureka book progresses.

Math doesn’t move super slowly. Its actually on an accelerated path beginning in K which it what allows for compacted math in 4th&5th.

In needs more application and depth perhaps, but it moves quicker than in many places including private school.

That just means that the privates are super, super slow. Math is definitely slow until compacted, and even then it doesn't go particularly deep - just faster.

Wow, popping in here from Recent Topics (since we are weighing whether to move to MOCO at some point). Our Title 1 DCPS is on module 3, lesson 6, and my first grader also gets enrichment which is second grade module 5, lesson 6. I heard MCPS was slow, but that seems really slow. No wonder they’re bored!

In my experience in both a title I and a WOTP DCPS, and a well-off MCPS ES, DCPS is better for ES (though we were only there in early elementary).
