[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm more concerned about the enrichment options and how to transition from the current compact math pathways, like discussed in the other post. CKLA itself is boring, but it's the rigid and tedious enrichment option that really kills any merits of this curriculum, and I really hope the new math curriculum won't be the same. [/quote]

In my experience there has been very little enrichment in Eureka in grades K-3, and I think that a big factor in that is that (other than assigning advanced kids the harder problems in the problem set first, which isn't a great solution) there's not much enrichment in Eureka itself so teachers have to find it themselves elsewhere and many just don't bother.

I like that Amplify Desmos seems to have some enrichment built in (and remediation too-- they have these "support," "strengthen," or "stretch" options built into every lesson.) The website wouldn't let me click through to see what the enrichment itself actually looks like, so maybe it's not great, but I suspect more teachers will start using it when it's right there in front of them, who previously did nothing.[/quote]
