[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you meet the on-level standard in ES, you get an A. Kids who are not at grade level get a lower grade. At our school, not everyone gets an A in every class. I do think teachers spend most of their time trying to help kids who are below grade level meet the standard, but they don't succeed with everyone so there are kids who don't get all As.[/quote]

A kid with 99% on MAP in math somehow got a B in 2nd-grade math. My sense is the teacher just hands out worksheets and doesn't want to be bothered with explaining anything. [/quote]

Sounds like you arent even paying attention. Eureka is very specific. Teachers cant just grade whatever they feel like and "worksheets" arent part of the curriculum. Quizzes and tests are the only things that are allowed to be graded in MCPS for math. Maybe do some research first. [/quote]

The teacher refuses to share copies of their work and the books are kept at school. A track down a copy of the book myself and purchased it on Amazon so I can go over the material with the kids since the teacher refuses to explain anything. [/quote]

And yet all you had to do was put in eureka math third grade into google and all of the resources are available and free online. There are also videos of lessons on YouTube, homework help videos, etc. you didn’t need to buy anything but clearly you’d rather just be angry than spend five minutes googling. Your time spent here should be used for something resourceful. [/quote]

Only the old edition of Eureka is free. The second edition isn't [/quote]

The materials your kids is currently learning are free. Check embarc. The scariest part about all of your posts is now we can better understand where the learned helplessness comes from.[/quote]

Those are outdated versions and aren't aligned with what the school uses.[/quote]

Good to know thanks. [/quote]

I have compared the free version with what my kid uses (because kid occasionally messes up and brings home the workbook), and it is exactly the same.[/quote]

Our school used a newer version
[/quote]

Are they using Eureka Math squared, which conslidates content into fewer lessons? That would be surprising, as that type of decision would typically be done by central office. Maybe central office is piloting this at just some schools?
