[quote=Anonymous]I like that the units and topics are more integrated with each other than they were in 2.0.  My second grader started with a particular method of addition/subtraction at the beginning of the year.  When they moved on to measurement, they are still doing addition and subtraction using the method from the 1st unit, but now they are measuring things and using the addition and subtraction to say which item is longer and by how much, etc.

In 2.0 it seemed like every time they switched topics (like to measurement or to geometry) whatever they had just finished doing was not mentioned at all until they came back around to that concept the next time.  It was very disjointed and didn't build on itself and reinforce the prior concept by still using it while also learning the next concept.  Eureka seems to do this better (so far).

And I also like the explanation page that comes with the homework.  It seems like a reasonable substitute for a textbook and if you want you can collect it into a reference packet/notebook.[/quote]
