“The sequence and connection of lessons in Eureka Math2 were fantastic. There were so many ‘aha!’ moments for students. I loved the collaboration and discussion.”
—Christine Corrigan, Teacher, Gloucester Township Public Schools, New Jersey
Eureka Math²™ is a revolutionary math program designed to ensure that students move beyond rote memorization to build enduring math knowledge through the intentional integration of digital resources and a focused approach to encouraging student discourse. It takes everything you love about Eureka Math—consistent math models, rigor to support the productive struggle, and coherence across lessons, modules, and grades—and adds a new level of flexibility and accessibility as well as visibility into student understanding to make math instruction exponentially more teachable and engaging.
Eureka Math² helps students establish a foundational understanding of mathematics (the why) rather than only relying on procedural skills (the how), to better prepare them for college and career. Teachers will see students strengthening reasoning and critical-thinking skills that students can apply to solve real-world problems and that can be applied to many real-world situations.

PhD Science® was designed to integrate three-dimensional teaching and learning into every lesson. It focuses on depth not breadth across science topics, promoting evidence-based learning that builds on itself through a coherent storyline as students develop long-term knowledge and understanding.
By examining real-world phenomena, students discover how the world around them works as they build knowledge and scientific literacy. Through meaningful, authentic connections and rich, hands-on learning, students dig deep into science concepts as they develop a questioning spirit, investigative prowess, leadership, and communication abilities that serve them for a lifetime.

“The biggest differentiator with Wit & Wisdom is the quality of the texts. The kids are so engaged, they can’t wait to get back to the books.”
—Jen Arellano, Teacher, Bonsall Unified School District, California
Instead of reading basals or practicing skills in isolation, Wit & Wisdom® students read authentic, complex texts while practicing reading, writing, speaking and listening, and vocabulary together to build knowledge of the world around them.
Wit & Wisdom underscores the importance of a combined approach to literacy, where foundational skills, rich knowledge, and critical ELA skills work cohesively together. When paired with an explicit foundational skills program, the careful sequence of literacy skills in Wit & Wisdom leads students to mastery as they build their knowledge in key content areas such as science, history, the arts, math, and more.
They apply their new knowledge and skills by engaging in lively discourse, writing detailed responses rich in evidence, and honing their critical-thinking skills to ultimately become successful readers, exceptional writers, and effective communicators.
