[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a compacted math teacher and I really like Eureka math and I love having the workbooks. It is much better than Curriculum 2.0, though it is definitely more challenging. All of my students who were successful last year are having equal success his year. However, I do have a few students that probably should have never been in the advanced class and are struggling. However, it is not with the new curriculum, just with math in general.

Might you be able to find a tutor with Eureka experience? Or could the tutor use the Succeed book so that he/she is using the same strategies? If the tutor is using the wrong strategies, that will hurt your son in trying to learn the with this curriculum. Also, I agree with PP's that you should look for Youtube videos. There are so many out there that will both show the lesson for the day, worth through the problem set, and go through any homework problems.

I would also encourage your DS to use the student support time to get extra help. That time is there for your child to ask for help.

I hope things get easier.[/quote]

There are no right or wrong strategies; if a child is able to do a math problem and show their work in a reasonable way (which is usually something like X+Y=Z) they are fine. 
Nobody needs stupid tape diagrams or area models, sorry. [/quote]
