Dear Parents,

Attached is your child’s mid-module assessment. The Dearborn Public Schools District has implemented a new math program called Eureka Math. Last year, the second grade teachers at River Oaks piloted Eureka Math. We recognize the importance of supporting parents during Eureka Math implementation. As you notice, the test consists of multi-step story problems, short answers/explanation of their thinking, and application versus multiple choice.

We know that most parents didn’t learn math the way their children are learning it today, so we understand that you will have questions and concerns. Every night your child brings home the homework and homework helper. The homework helper is a great resource to use because it shows examples for the lesson. We highly recommend saving the homework helpers for future use.

As any new program, it will take some time for students to adjust. As teachers, we are working hard to teach and support our students through this exciting journey.

Please look at the mistakes with your child, sign and return the test.

Thank you,

3rd Grade Team 🙂
