[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you kid is struggling, get a tutor. Not sure why it matters that it's Eureka math.[/quote]

Oh, please.  It’s a new curriculum, and curricula build on themselves.  They have introduced terms and concepts in the lower grades that kids in the higher grades haven’t seen (because they didn’t have the same curriculum in the lower grades) and that the curriculum may not build in time to explain because it was already in the earlier grades.  It does matter that it’s Eureka because it’s a change, and there may be missing pieces of the foundation that make the later tasks harder to understand.  OP’s initial question makes sense.  That said, I have no helpful info for OP.  My oldest is in compacted 5/6 this year which is not using Eureka and my 2nd grader seems fine with Eureka.  I think 2nd grade is a decent year to start the new curriculum because I felt with my older DD that second grade was a “holding year” with very little new content and mostly trying to solidify the primary concepts before moving on to multiplication and division in 3rd.  So they can re-do addition, subtraction, and measurement the Eureka way and talk about “number bonds” instead of “fact families” or whatever.[/quote]

It's not a new curriculum for my kids- they've been using it since K. So there are plenty of people - teachers and tutors - who have experience with it. Hire one.[/quote]
