Eureka Math Student Materials: Grades K–5

Learn, Practice, Succeed

Learn, Practice, and Succeed from   Eureka Math™   offer teachers multiple ways to differentiate instruction, provide extra practice, and assess student learning. These versatile companions to   A Story of Units®   (Grades K–5) guide teachers in response to intervention (RTI), provide extra practice, and inform instruction.

Also available for Grades 6–8 . 

Learn, Practice, Succeed can be purchased all together or bundled in any configuration. Contact your account solutions manager for more information and pricing.  

The Learn book serves as a student’s in-class companion where they show their thinking, share what they know, and watch their knowledge build every day!

Application Problems:  Problem solving in a real-world context is a daily part of   Eureka Math , building student confidence and perseverance as students apply their knowledge in new and varied ways.

Problem Sets :  A carefully sequenced Problem Set provides an in-class opportunity for independent work, with multiple entry points for differentiation.

Exit Tickets:   These exercises check student understanding, providing the teacher with immediate, valuable evidence of the efficacy of that day’s instruction and informing next steps.

Templates:   Learn   includes templates for the pictures, reusable models, and data sets that students need for   Eureka Math   activities.

With   Practice , students build competence in newly acquired skills and reinforce previously learned skills in preparation for tomorrow’s lesson.   Together,   Learn   and   Practice   provide all the print materials a student uses for their core instruction.

Eureka Math  contains multiple daily opportunities to build fluency in   mathematics . Each is designed with the same notion—growing every student’s ability to use mathematics   with ease . Fluency experiences are generally fast-paced and energetic, celebrating improvement and focusing on recognizing patterns and connections within the material.

Eureka Math   fluency activities provide differentiated practice through a variety of formats—some are conducted orally, some use manipulatives, others use a personal whiteboard, or a handout and paper-and-pencil format.

Sprints:  Sprint fluency activities in  Eureka Math Practice  build speed and accuracy with already acquired skills. Used when students are nearing optimum proficiency, Sprints leverage tempo to build a low-stakes adrenaline boost that increases memory and recall. Their intentional design makes Sprints inherently differentiated – the problems build from simple to complex, with the first quadrant of problems being the simplest, and each subsequent quadrant adding complexity.

Eureka Math Succeed   enables students to work individually toward mastery.  Teachers and tutors can use  Succeed   books from prior grade levels as curriculum-consistent tools for filling gaps in foundational knowledge. Students will thrive and progress more quickly, as familiar models facilitate connections to their current, grade-level content.

Additional Problem Sets:  Ideal for Homework or extra practice, these additional problem sets align lesson-by-lesson with what is happening in the classroom. These problems are sequenced from simple-to-complex to naturally scaffold student practice. They align with   Eureka Math   and use the curriculum’s mathematical models and language, ensuring that students feel the connections and relevance to their daily instruction, whether they are working on foundational skills or getting extra practice on the current topic.

Homework Helpers:   Each problem set is accompanied by a Homework Helper, a set of worked examples that illustrate how similar problems are solved. The examples, viewed side by side with the homework, support students as they reinforce the day’s learning. Homework Helpers are also a great way to keep parents informed about math class.

Bundles and Class Sets Available

Bundle options are available for all of our materials (print, digital, PD, etc.). Prices vary by grade and size of class set. Certain grade-levels do not include all packets due to the nature of the grade-level content. Student workbooks are available in class sets of 20, 25, and 30. Prices vary by size of class set .

City officials increase housing options through zoning changes

After several years of planning, discussions and meetings, the St. Petersburg City Council has enacted zoning changes that allow density increases on nearly 3,000 properties.

While administrators and council members realize the changes may not directly address the ongoing affordable housing crisis, they believe a measured approach to boost density will provide much-needed options for a growing city. The initiative passed 7-1 during the March 23 meeting, and homeowners in the city’s urban core can now build or create up to four units in areas traditionally reserved for single-family homes.

The new zoning rules are effective immediately and apply to 2,895 lots. Like the ordinance’s first reading, the final public hearing went well into the night, with the preponderance of residents again speaking against the proposal.

However, most city officials agreed that recent compromises helped address those concerns and that their worst fears were unfounded. The council also mandated that affected properties feature a five-foot setback.

“There’s so much fear-mongering around this topic,” said Council Chair Brandi Gabbard. “I want us to really focus on what the goal is, and the goal is creating more opportunity where all of our community can grow. Grow together, and grow together as neighbors who welcome each other.”

The new Neighborhood Traditional Mixed Residential (NTM-1) zoning rules apply to properties within 175 feet of “future major streets” and currently high-trafficked roads. They must also abut an alley.

Lot size and development will dictate whether an owner can create an accessory dwelling unit, duplex, triplex or quadruplex, and each must feature corresponding parking spaces. City officials mandated that properties with three or more units must abut a paved alley for parking and include additional space for garbage pickup due to community concerns.

In addition, new and converted homes must match the neighborhood’s character and meet current size restrictions.

According to city maps, NTM-1 zoning will increase density in neighborhoods such as Oakwood Gardens, located near 16th Street and 30th Avenue North. Photo by Mark Parker.

The potential detriment to neighborhood character was a sticking point for many public speakers and Councilmember Ed Montanari, who voted against the changes. He called that a “core value” and noted the city’s affordable housing stock would likely remain unaffected by the density increases.

“I can’t support this NTM-1 zoning that can damage neighborhoods in our city when we have all this space we can build on right now,” Montanari said.

He also motioned to exempt properties in national historic districts, which failed on a 4-4 vote.

While most residents adamantly opposed the zoning changes, some local business leaders spoke in favor of a measured approach to increase density in a city with little vacant land. Jason Mathis, CEO of the St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership, began his remarks by crediting the council for its “professionalism and patience” through a contentious topic.

“I know the original proposal was to do it (NTM-1) city-wide – I don’t think that was the right approach,” Mathis said. “I think this is a thoughtful approach, and the Downtown Partnership encourages you to support this as a way to add density, which is part of the solution for affordable housing.”

Mayor Ken Welch previously noted the zoning changes were a hot topic during his first City Hall on Tour event , held March 20 at Walter Fuller Recreation Center in west St. Pete, just three days before the final vote. He said the people who spoke against the measure at his “Coffee with Ken” corner feared the new rules would degrade their single-family neighborhoods – or the “worst-case scenario.”

He reiterated his stance that the city should forgo city-wide upzoning and instead take “a very measured step” to increasing density through NTM-1.

City development administrator James Corbett spoke on Welch’s behalf at the March 23 council meeting. He said that although officials could not create more land for housing, they could strategically increase density allowances.

“We were thoughtful in our approach to ensure that we mitigated any negative impacts to the neighborhood’s aesthetics and livability,” Corbett added. “Increasing demand for missing middle housing pushes cities and counties nationwide to rethink solutions for first-time homebuyers, smaller families, couples, retirees aging in place, adults with disabilities, car-free households and many others.

“We believe this housing initiative will better position those families to better find a new place to call home in the City of St. Petersburg.”

Councilmember Gina Driscoll said the NTM-1 discussions highlighted the need for future conversations regarding design standards. She expressed her dismay with some projects downtown and said city officials could better protect historic neighborhoods.

However, Driscoll said those topics go “way beyond” specific zoning changes and are best suited for another meeting. She also hoped the meeting clarified common misconceptions surrounding parking, regulations and affordability.

She relayed that one of her favorite statements through the extensive public hearing was from a man who said he just wanted more neighbors.

“To me, more neighbors means strong neighborhoods,” Driscoll said. “It’s more people who get involved; it’s more people who care. And believe it or not, there are even renters out there who care. I’m one of them.”

Thank You City Council and Mayor Welch for passing this common sense measure. Its real simple – we need more housing – and the corridors are the best places to expand housing. Bravo!

March 27, 2023at1:07 pm

Thanks for approving some gentle density increases. We already see old homes being demolished and a huge McMansion being built in place. All this does is allow an additional resident to occupy these homes and maybe a third resident in a rear ADU. The worst case scenario of 4 residents with garages is not as bad as people are imagining and many similar residences are already built around Saint Petersburg. Currently many new ADUs have 2 garages on the alley side.

Ploshchad Ostrovskogo (Ostrovsky Square)

Although the elaborate plan of Italian architect Carlo Rossi to create a large urban area between Anichkov Palace and the Imperial Public Library (now the Russian National Library) was never fully realized, Ploshchad Ostrovskogo nevertheless turned out to be one of the more interesting built environments in St. Petersburg. Ploshchad Ostrovskogo is the centre of a grand compositional ensemble connecting Nevsky Prospekt and the Fontanka River Embankment that includes the Catherine Gardens , the Alexandrinsky Theatre , Ulitsa Zodchego Rossi and Ploshchad Lomonosova .

In the middle of the 18th century the vast Anichkov Palace, with its garden, fountains, and ponds, covered all the territory from the Fontanka River to Sadovaya Ulitsa. In 1818, the estate was re-planned resulting in a space between the newly-constructed Public Library and the Anichkov Palace Garden that was ideally suited to a small square. Carlo Rossi was commissioned to design the project, and it took him ten years to formulate his master plan for the space.

According to Rossi's plans, the Alexandrinsky Theatre became the focal point of the square. Construction of the theater in high neoclassical style was completed in 1832. The ornate facade of the theater was decorated with six Corinthian columns, numerous theatrical masks and figures of the muses, and a sculpture of Apollo riding a chariot on top of the building. In front of the theater the Alexandrinsky Garden was laid out. In 1873, artist Mikhail Mikeshin unveiled his magnificent monument of Catherine the Great, surrounded by prominent public figures of her reign, including Alexander Suvorov, Gavrila Derzhavin, Dashkova, Peter Rumyantsev, Ivan Betsky, Alexei Orlov, and Grigory Potemkin.

The developments surrounding the square were constructed in the same high classical style. These comprised a new wing of the Public Library facing Ploshchad Ostrovskogo, and two identical three-story buildings with their main facades facing the square. The two buildings stand on opposite sides of what was originally called Teatralnaya Ulitsa (Theatre Street) and now honors its creator as Ulitsa Zodchego Rossi (Architect Rossi Street).One building originally housed the Ministry of the Interior, and the other before the Revolution was occupied by the Directorate of the Imperial Theatres. It now houses the Theatre Museum and the famous Vaganova Ballet School. Ulitsa Zodchego Rossi is famous for its perfect proportions based on the "golden ratio": its length is 220 meters, and width and height are both 22 meters. This is the only street in the city where only two buildings are located.

At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries several other buildings appeared on the square, including the Basin Apartment Building, a fine example of Russian Revival architecture to the east of the theatre, and the neoclassical offices of the Society of the Moscow-Vindavo-Rybinsk Railway on the opposite side of the square. The latest addition to the square's architecture, next to the railway offices, was completed in 2008 and is an interesting attempt by contemporary architects to create a building in historical style that blends in with its surroundings. Originally intended as a luxury hotel, it will now house the offices of a Gazprom subsidiary.

Originally, the square was named after the Alexandrinskiy Theater located here. In 1923, it was renamed Ploshchad Ostrovskogo (Ostrovsky Square) in honor of the great 19th-century Russian playwright Alexander Ostrovsky. Today, you can find portrait and caricature artists around in and around the Catherine, as well as photographers and costumed characters in the guise of Catherine the Great and other historical figures.
