[quote=Anonymous]It is a solid math program that does a good job of covering the concepts in common core math. Many (if not most) of the ways of covering a concept are borrowed from Singapore Math. This quote is taken from their material:

Eureka Math / EngageNY K-5 is founded on proven strategies from Singapore Math®, including the concrete-pictorial-abstract learning sequence and model drawing strategies.

However, the BIG drawback of Eureka math is that there are NO student textbooks. There are workbooks but there is no way for the student or parent to look back and see how the lesson was covered if the student was absent or needs further explanations. Districts love it because it is FREE, they just have to pay the cost of the printing. I have no idea if they were inspired and copied ideas from Singapore Math (Marshall Cavanaugh publishing) why they didn't create a textbook. Perhaps because they knew districts would love a fee source and books cost money. In my opinion this is a big mistake. I would go to Singapore math dot com and buy a text book so you can see how the problems are supposed to be worked out. [/quote]
