A Win in Wisconsin
We love getting feedback from happy teachers who use Eureka Math. One of those is Michelle Dupree, a math coach with the Menomonie School District in Wisconsin.
 
"Our staff is completely astounded by the results we are seeing with our second year of implementation," she writes. "Our kids (and teachers) have an understanding of mathematics on a deeper level than ever before. I can't say enough. I wish my own children would have had the opportunity to learn math this way."

"Like a Breath of Fresh Air"
Kimberly Graham was teaching for seven years, and was "tired" and "beat down" from months of searching for the best Common Core-aligned math curriculum to help her students. Then she found Eureka Math. Now, in her first school year using Eureka Math with her third-graders in the Guntersville City School District in Alabama, she's over the moon with the results in her classroom. "When we went to our first Eureka training last summer," she says in this Q&A with Great Minds, "it was like a breath of fresh air."
