A study by researchers at the University of Southern California found positive effects of using the Eureka Math²curriculum in schools in North Carolina.

The USC researchers looked at math achievement in grades 3-5 in 107 schools in North Carolina.

They found that students who attended schools that adopted the Eureka Math² curriculum had bigger achievement gains than students in schools that did not adopt the curriculum.

Those gains were even more consistent—and could be seen when averaging across all grades—after the first year of adoption.
