As elementary teachers, we guide our students through the Eureka program, a journey filled with new concepts and deep learning. Each module opens up a new area to explore. While the program is beautifully sequenced, it can also feel overwhelming due to the sheer amount of content. This can be tough not just for students, but for parents too.
In his book Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, Peter Liljedahl reminds us that, much like navigating land or sea, learners need two things to move forward: a sense of where they are and a clear idea of where they are going. Without both pieces, it’s easy to feel lost.
For someone to be able to navigate, by land or by sea, they need two pieces of information—where they are and where they are going. Both pieces of information are vital and of equal value. If they don’t know where they are going, they are destined to get lost. And if they don’t know where they are, well, then they are already lost. The same is true of students trying to navigate their own learning—they need to know where they are and where they are going.
(Peter Liljedahl, 2020)
To help with this, we created the Eureka Module Parent Brochures. These brochures act as a compass and map, showing where students are in the program and what lies ahead. They are helpful for families, but they also give teachers a clear, quick reference without needing to dig through pages of the teacher manual. Brochure bundles are currently available for:
From Classroom to Kitchen Table: Eureka Explained
Think of these brochures as your compact guides through the Eureka program. They’re not just informative & stunning; they’re a breath of fresh air in the often-overwhelming world of the Eureka program.
For the Busy Teacher: We know your time is as precious as the first cup of coffee in the morning. That’s why these brochures are quick to prepare and easy to use. Simply print, fold, and distribute!
For Supportive Parents: Parents often feel like they need a translator for their child’s math homework. The Eureka program often uses unfamiliar language and methods, leaving many parents unsure of how to help. These brochures break down key concepts using simple explanations and clear visuals. They give parents a straightforward understanding of each Topic’s goals, making it easier to support learning at home.
When Paper Fails, PDFs Prevail
Ever feel like half the papers you send home with students enter the Backpack Bermuda Triangle, never to be seen by parents? Worry no more! Each Module Brochure comes with its own Digital Guide, a lifesaver in the age of ‘my dog ate my homework.’
The Digital Guide is a more simplified, easy-to-read PDF version of the brochures. Whether it’s through Classroom Dojo, Seesaw, or email, parents stay informed about what their child is learning. With the digital version sent home, students won’t be able to blame the backpack Bermuda Triangle.
Aligned and Ready: CCSS and TEKS Versions Available
Note: These TEKS guides align with the older TEKS version of Eureka. They do not align with the 2025 version of the Eureka for Texas curriculum.
Are you a TEKS teacher tired of coming up short when looking for Eureka-aligned resources? You’re not alone. That’s why our guides come in both flavors- TEKS for the Texas trailblazers and CCSS for the Common Core crew. Even though the TEKS and CCSS programs are as different as pi and pie, our tailored TEKS version ensures you won’t get lost in the math maze, no matter which curriculum map you’re following.
At the top of each brochure, we clearly outline the specific standards (CCSS or TEKS) for each Topic. This feature helps parents quickly see that their child’s learning is comprehensive and on track! Whether you’re teaching in Texas or anywhere else, you’ll have a roadmap that’s built to match your path. Cue the cowboy hat tip.
Bilingual Brochures for Bilingual Homes
Understanding Eureka can be tough for parents, especially when English isn’t their first language. That’s why each brochure includes a Spanish version. Whether it’s multiplicación or multiplication, these translated guides make it easier for families to follow along and support their child’s learning at home.
Earning Applause in the Hallway and Home: Brochure Brilliance!
These brochures don’t just help students and families, they also make you look like a rockstar to admin. When parents understand the math and feel supported, it shows. And when principals and math leads see your communication tools in action, you just might earn yourself a few extra gold stars. PTA applause, anyone?
Teacher-Tested, Parent-Approved
Sure, we think these brochures are pretty great, but don’t just take our word for it. Hear from teachers who’ve actually used them and seen the difference at school and at home.
Closing Credits:
That’s the magic of the Eureka Parent Brochures- clarity, connection, and a whole lot less chaos. These handy guides help your students stay on track, your parents stay informed, and your admin stay impressed.
No more confusion, no more guessing, no more “I had no idea we were learning fractions this week.” With these brochures in your corner, you’ve got everything covered.
So take a bow, teach. You’ve made the Eureka journey feel like smooth sailing.
