Newly Revised Math TEKS
In 2012, the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) approved revisions for the mathematics standards for kindergarten through high school. These standards are called the Mathematics Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, or TEKS.
The Mathematics TEKS are the learning goals for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level in math. The TEKS are written and reviewed by teachers, professors, administrators, community members, businesses, and approved by the State Board of Education (SBOE). They are regularly reviewed and revised to meet the growing demands of student learning in the state of Texas.Changes to the math curriculum, kindergarten through grade 8 will be required starting the 2014-15 school year to meet the changes in the newly revised Mathematics TEKS. The new Mathematics TEKS for grades 9-12 will be implemented in the 2015-16 school year.Newly revised Mathematics Standards (TEKS) listed by grade level.The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has created Side-by-Side documents to show what standards have been added, deleted, or moved from each grade level.TEA Vertical Alignment Charts show how standards align across grade levels.The "Unpacked" documents provide clarification of the grade level standards or TEKS.For more information about standards, curriculum, & instruction:Interactive Math GlossaryThis glossary will demonstrate terms by showing the definition, key characteristics, examples, and non examples.Revised Texas Response to the Curriculum Focal PointsThe focal points describe the most significant mathematical concepts and skills at each grade level.Adding it Up: Helping Children Learn Mathematics National Research CouncilThis body of research was a key factor in the writing of the new Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills.
