The Thinking Tool is an additional resource to guide student critical thinking and problem-solving strategies. The Thinking Tool is a scaffold to support students in developing and applying critical thinking and metacognitive skills. It provides a set of questions students can ask themselves before, during, and after engaging in a task, encouraging them to analyze their own thinking processes and strategies in real-time. Furthermore, the After prompts in the Thinking Tool challenge students to set goals for revising or refining their strategies and processes next time. Students refer to the Thinking Tool as the teacher models self-talk and self-questioning as part of a think-aloud.

Eureka Math2 prioritizes attention to the Standards for Mathematical Practice (MPs) over the course of each year, addressing all eight MPs in each module. The MPs are practices necessary for students to reason mathematically, communicate conceptual understanding, and represent and solve problems. Rich tasks, development of flexible thinking, and frequent opportunities for student discourse encourage students to engage with the MPs during all lesson components. The Standards for Mathematical Practice (MPs) are intentionally woven into each lesson. Through explicit instruction and student-driven tasks, students consistently apply MPs to their daily work to build an enduring understanding of math. Curricular materials support the standards’ emphasis on mathematical thinking and reasoning.
