Nantucket Elementary School & Nantucket Intermediate School

For the 2018-2019 school year, NES & NIS teachers are in the second year of implementing Eureka Math as the core resource for math instruction.  (Grade 2 teachers are in their first year of implementation) Eureka Math was rated as the top math resource in 2015 by Ed Reports.  Eureka Math received top marks because of its alignment to the Common Core State Standards and the three CCSS shifts:

1. Greater Focus on fewer topics
2. Coherence: Linking topics and thinking across grades
3. Rigor: Pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skills and fluency, and application with equal intensity

The Greatminds website has parent information, tip sheets, and homework help for Eureka Math.  It is FREE to join; please create a parent account.

Another resource with classroom instructional videos and homework help is Embarc

Math can be fun!  Along with Eureka Math problem sets, teachers use a 'centers-based' approach whenever possible to supplement the instruction of math concepts through games, activities, and websites.  Dice, dominoes, cards, and spinners are common sights in elementary math classrooms.
