Description of the Curriculum
Eureka Math
Source: Great Minds
Content Area: Math
Grade level: 3
This math curriculum for third graders is focused on Properties of Multiplication and
Division, place value and problem solving with units of measure, area and perimeter,
fractions and geometry. These are taught over seven modules. This curriculum using a
development of conceptual understanding as well as a foundation of thinking. It
promotes mathematical reasoning, and problem solving.
Context: Need or Problem
A need that I would like to address is getting students on grade level. Due to the remote
learning situation as well as other factors, many students perform well below grade level. Our
district uses a computer program diagnostic test to asses student ability in conjunction with the
Eureka curriculum. Students take the computer diagnostic at the beginning of the third grade,
and should score between 270-300 to be considered “on grade level”. If this score is reached, I
am confident that they have master at least 70% of the third-grade standards. In the past two
school years my students range from 90-410. This wide range tells me that many have not
mastered appropriate standards in first and second grade to be prepared for third grade. The
gaps range from kindergarten to third grade and play a crucial role in the success or lack of
success in third grade. Many of these foundational skills are necessary to be successful in third
grade.
