A group of education leaders founded Great Minds®️ in 2007 to advocate for a more content-rich, comprehensive education for all children. In pursuit of that mission, Great Minds brings together teachers and scholars to create exemplary instructional materials that provide joyful rigor to learning, spark and reward curiosity, and impart knowledge with equal parts delight.
Great Minds supports teachers with curriculum materials and implementation products and services in math, English, and science. Our curricula are Eureka Math®️, Wit and Wisdom®️, Geodes®️, and PhD Science®️. Last year, the Eureka Math teacher–writers created Eureka Math Equip™, an adaptive digital diagnostic tool designed to help teachers identify student learning gaps and address them through direct instruction and fluency practice.
Eureka Math Equip premodule assessments provide educators with a snapshot of a student’s grasp of the essential foundational knowledge that will be needed in upcoming lessons. We believe it should become standard practice to have students complete these assessments throughout the school year before beginning a new module.

What Users Love About the App
“I think my kids are better at word problems than they ever were before. Many of the routines sound strange, however, it all comes together eventually.”
“We have been using Eureka Math for a year now. Like any new curriculum, it takes a bit to learn how to use it. We have tailored it to what fits our needs, as you also do with any curriculum. I am amazed at how our students’ scores soared. The professional development our district received was amazing and very helpful. I highly recommend the Eureka Math curriculum.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“My granddaughter’s second-grade teacher is using the Eureka Math Common Core workbook in her classroom. It is horrid. Copies of workbook pages are being sent home in her weekly homework packet. I believe this is a MANDATED curriculum. I have not seen the entire book as only a handful of pages come home weekly. I have seen enough that my eyebrows have popped up. Some of the directions are not written in clear “math” language. My granddaughter, who is far beyond this math level, was confused by some of the directions. There is no need for this. The authors need to keep it simple and nail the concepts.”
“It’s really good in parts and other parts it doesn’t meet the objectives. Overall we like it, but there’s no way I have the time it takes to do everything they suggest. I adjust it to what my students need, but I would do that with any program.”
“We have found that there is no built-in spiral review for second graders. There is only one week of graph lessons. After one lesson ‘reviewing’ change, the only other money lessons are word problems. Time is taught as fractions of the hour on the analog clock. They spend a lot of time on new strategies. The mindset seems to be “teach a lesson and move on.” We had to squeeze in time to re-teach. We were also told not to send home the homework because it confuses parents.”
“It’s not a program which you can pick out stuff. Each component of a daily lesson is integral to the lesson. It’s very boring. They expect kids to write all the stuff down in a really short time frame. Our district math specialist couldn’t do a whole lesson in the allotted time.”
“Our district has Eureka Math and as a parent, I hate it. (My husband and I are certified teachers, but not in Math. My high school math background was Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Trig, Stats, and Physics.) They use it in elementary/middle school but now we have a child in high school. It is awful in Algebra, this fall we will see how it is for Geometry. Our district doesn’t provide books, all work is done on chrome books and iXL. There is nothing for our daughter to go back to and see examples and understand how the equation worked out. When I try and help her, there is nothing for me to go back and refresh my memory on for how to complete the task. Then it has her solve it 3 different ways, again, no explanation on what the 3 methods should look like (story problem, visual, straight solving with showing the work, etc.). I actually purchased 3 of the books (5 modules) to try and help our daughter, but the books were worthless. Our school district says our scores are going up but I think that is in the elementary not in the high school. The districts around us do not use Eureka.”
