Montgomery County Public Schools has adopted Eureka Math from Great Minds as its new elementary school math curriculum. Schools will begin using the math curriculum in the 2019-20 school year as part of a three-year roll-out.

Developed in collaboration with Wilson Language Training, Great Minds released Geodes, a new category of books for new and emerging readers. With Geodes, Great Minds introduces Readables books, which give students opportunities to practice language while building and extending knowledge, vocabulary and more.

Traditionally, only the most academically gifted high school students have taken college-level classes. But growing use of dual-credit courses is making that opportunity more widely available. Other courses are teaching job skills that give high school students a better idea of other career paths.

In an uncommon move in New York, the assistant superintendent for curriculum at Hampton Bays Schools and the chair of the mathematics department at Suffolk County Community College created a high school course that mirrors the class that students deficient in math take when they start college.
