Homework Help
Students should review the Problem Set completed and checked in class; the Homework problems are similar. Students should also review any notes taken in their Math book and/or working Google Document. The Eureka Homework Helper restates the main ideas of the lessons in a kid-friendly and parent-friendly way. For modules 1-4, I have posted the homework helper for your convenience. The homework helper follows the 2015 edition of Eureka Math. In some cases, we will be using the 2013 edition in class. The homework helper guides students by thinking aloud the ways to solve problems. It is not an answer key. Therefore, the homework helper is a valuable resource for any edition we are using in class. Other resources include:
