Eureka Math²® California® — TK- Algebra I Curriculum

Yes. Eureka Math² California is fully aligned to the California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and is consistent with the California Mathematics Framework. Every lesson opens with the relevant California standards and a student-friendly learning objective. Detailed alignment studies are available here.

Eureka Math² California organizes instruction around the Big Ideas of each grade, as outlined in the California Mathematics Framework, rather than treating standards as isolated skills. Every module clearly outlines which Big Ideas are covered and how they connect to Content Connections across grade levels. This approach helps students see math as a coherent, connected story rather than as a series of disconnected procedures.

A pacing guide ensures teachers cover the right content at the right time. Big Ideas ensure students understand how it all connects. The California Mathematics Framework calls for teaching math as an interconnected story, not a checklist of isolated skills. Eureka Math² California is built around that vision — each of the six modules per grade is organized around Big Ideas drawn directly from the CA Math Framework, helping students build the transferable understanding they need for algebra and beyond.

The guiding principle: amplify language, don't simplify it. Rather than slowing the pace or reducing expectations, Eureka Math² California uses research-based scaffolds — Mathematical Language Routines, the Talking Tool for structured discourse, and multimodal vocabulary support — so multilingual learners can fully participate in grade-level mathematical thinking. California schools with student populations that are 30–40% multilingual learners have seen meaningful year-over-year math proficiency gains — not by lowering the bar, but by building the scaffolds that let every student clear it.

Every lesson in Eureka Math² California includes a Lesson at a Glance, a built-in agenda that breaks the lesson into timed segments across Fluency, Launch, Learn, and Land. This gives teachers a clear plan for a 60-minute math block.. An additional pacing guide is also provided for California so educators can stay on track while remaining responsive to their students.

Eureka Math² California's digital platform organizes daily lesson slides, implementation support videos, and teaching resources in one place, making it easy for teachers to prepare and deliver instruction without added complexity. Students engage with Context Videos and Digital Interactives that bring math concepts to life. Teachers can leverage digital assessments to monitor data with concise reporting features.

Manipulatives are essential for student learning in Eureka Math² California. Both comprehensive kits and upgrade kits for existing Eureka Math users are available. Kits include physical and virtual collections of manipulatives that support students' cognitive and social development as they actively explore problem-solving strategies through hands-on application.

Great Minds offers a connected system of professional learning — including virtual sessions, onsite professional development, and personalized coaching — designed to support teachers and curriculum leaders from launch through sustained implementation. Support is structured across Year 1 and beyond, with distinct services for both teachers and instructional leaders.
