Having an affordable home Internet connection is critical to stay informed and in contact with friends and family during the COVID-19 emergency. Several Internet Service Providers offer low-cost, affordable Home Internet for qualifying low-income households. For the most up-to-date information, we recommend visitingEveryoneOn.org/cetf.

For a limited time, AT&T, Charter/Spectrum and Comcast are offering 2-months free Home Internet for new subscribers and offers carry conditions. (Households signing up with Spectrum must tell the representative on the initial call that they want the free 60-day offer applied to Spectrum Internet Assist if they want to continue with the affordable $23 monthly rate after the free period. Failing to do so means they will pay the full rate of $55 a month.) Neither Spectrum (which is not requiring a National School Lunch Program letter for a limited time only) or Comcast allows existing customers to downgrade their services.

Several companies, including AT&T, Charter/Spectrum, Comcast, Cox, Frontier, T-Mobile, and other ISPs pledge for the next 60 days to not terminate service and they will waive late fees for any residential or small business customers because of their inability to pay their bills due to the coronavirus pandemic.

For schools looking for resources to help students stay connected while at home, visit our Educators' Tool kit: http://www.internetforallnow.org/educators_toolkit

If you have questions, please call toll free, 1-844-841-INFO (4636) to find out if you pre-qualify for an affordable Home Internet offer. If you qualify the representative will ask a trusted community-based organization to call you back to help you choose an offer.

While travel may have abruptly halted and with it, closed all museums to the public. Don't despair, you can now take a virtual tour of many of the finest museums in the world from the comfort of your own home.

Innovative museum curators are starting to cater to a whole new online audience with stunning virtual tours of their buildings and vast archives. From the Getty Museum in LA, designed by Richard Meier to The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao designed by Frank Gehry to The British Museum designed by Sir Norman Foster to our very own National History Museum here in Dublin. Now you can get cosy on the couch, pop on the kettle and become enlightened by past and present masters of all the arts, and all for free.

This is an amazing opportunity in particular for parents and teachers to bring children on tours of the great museums of the world that for many, may never get the possibility to visit in reality.

Eureka Math Resources

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Eureka Math is probably very different than your math classes in school or the way you learned math. It is not that one way is better than the other, the key is the expectations that are being put on our students today. Today's world has many challenges and problems that need to be solved. Our students will be the ones who will have to solve these problems and most careers will require strong problem-solving skills. To address this new challenge, we must prepare our students to be thinkers and problem-solvers and really UNDERSTAND math.

This is probably the biggest difference. Math has been traditionally taught as "math facts" and formulas. Students were taught just to memorize math facts and one specific way of calculating or solving a math problem. The trouble with this type of instruction was that many of us never really understood the math we were doing. We just memorized and solved the problem like the teacher told us to. Today, the expectations of students are much greater. Today's standards and assessments are requiring students to solve much more complex problems. To solve complex problems, student must understand the math concepts and have numerous strategies for solving difficult problems. Memorizing facts and one strategy may not help solve the complex problems students may face on state assessments and even life.

Eureka Math is created to build math understanding from kindergarten to 12th grade. Yes, what your student is doing in math may not be familiar and you may not totally understand everything they are doing. Please be assured there is a good reason the students are doing what they are doing. Building multiple strategies and deep understanding of numbers is how students will become great math problem solvers. We hope you will do your part in helping your student gain this important understanding, even though it may sometimes be difficult and different than your math experience.

Eureka Math Parent Page - videos about helping your student with their math and links to Parent Tip Sheets for each grade and module.
