Support for TEKS Implementation
Professional Development modules are being created to assist teachers in the implementation of the refined math TEKS.
Teaching the Math TEKS thru Technology (TMT3) Math TEKS Refinement (MTR) Math TEKS Connections (MTC) Maximizing Algebra II Performance (MAP)
Texas Regional Math Collaboratives have received grants to provide these professional development modules to teachers.
July, 2006
Teaching Math TEKS Through Technology (TMT3)
Developed by: Texas A&M Commerce and Education Service Center Region 4
Centered on effective technology, aligned to the TEKS, that will facilitate teaching mathematics.
Middle School, Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry modules.
Teacher lessons, student lessons, and tutorials.
Includes Integration of the middle school Technology Application TEKS.
Ask your ESC or district math specialist for training dates.
Ask your Education Service Center for training dates.
July, 2006
Math TEKS Refinement (MTR) modules
Developed by: A team of mathematics faculty at Tarleton State University and classroom teachers.
Math TEKS were refined in 2005. This project is focused on the changes to the TEKS and provides teacher and student lessons to implement the changes.
K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Ask your local Education Service Center or district math specialist for training dates.
July, 2006
Math TEKS Connections Modules (MTC)
Educate teachers about the inherent alignment between concepts and their connections to other concepts or big ideas vertically within a grade band as well as other strands within the grade level.
MTC being developed in partnership with TEA, Texas A&M University, and Education Service Centers, Region 4 and 13.
Available to teachers late summer 2007 and fall 2007.
July, 2006
MTC Project Development Modules
K-2: TAMU & Region 133-5: TAMU & Region 46-8: TAMU & Region 49-12: TAMU & Region 4Administrator modules: TAMU & Region 4
3 hour session will target the administrator’s knowledge of math concepts connections, an effective coaching model, questioning strategies, and the 5E model.

Regional Collaboratives for Excellence in Teaching Math
TEA, in partnership with the
Office of Texas Regional Collaboratives for Excellence in Mathematics Teaching, UT Austin,
has issued 20 grant awards for Math Collaboratives next school year, 2006-2007.
July, 2006
“Math Collaboratives”
The purpose of these grants is to improve the academic achievement of students in mathematics by providing
High quality, sustained, and high intensity professional development focused on the education of mathematics teachers as a career-long process.
I.e., math collaboratives will help train teachers on the PD modules currently being developed and disseminated.

Instructional Implications of elementary math TEKS refinements The following slides will give some examples
of the instructional implications of SOME of the elementary math TEKS refinements.
I highly encourage you to attend PD sessions given by your school district or education service center for a complete and thorough understanding of the refined TEKS.
July, 2006
Instructional Implications of elementary math TEKS refinements Introduction to TEKS: emphasis on numerical
fluency and composing and decomposing numbers
Numerical fluency does not mean timed tests and flash cards
July, 2006
Instructional Implications of elementary math TEKS refinements Geometry and Spatial Reasoning
Two-dimensional figureReplaces the word “shape”
Three-dimensional figureReplaces the word “solid”
July, 2006
Instructional Implications of elementary math TEKS refinements Geometry
Old TEKS: informal language used through 2nd grade
New TEKS: K: informal language1st: transitions from informal to formal2nd: only use formal language to identify
No. of vertices, faces, edges on 3-D figures Formally a 3rd grade TEKSTEKS 2.7A is where you’ll see this change
July, 2006
Instructional Implications of elementary math TEKS refinements 2.7A: Describe attributes (the number of vertices,
faces, edges, sides)
of two-and three dimensional geometric figures
such as circles, polygons, spheres, cones, cylinders, prisms, and pyramids, etc
July, 2006
Instructional Implications of elementary math TEKS refinements Measurement
Each strand is addressed at each grade levelLength, area, volume/capacity, weight/massUse of the word mass is stressed
4th grade explains the difference between weight and mass
What’s new to these grades?K: area1st: area2nd: area3rd: volume/capacity and weight/mass4th: conversions only with customary measurements5th: converts with both metric and customary
July, 2006
Instructional Implications of elementary math TEKS refinements Time has undergone significant changes
K: no time (no change) 1st: read time to the hour and half hour (no change) 2nd: read and write time using 5 minute increments
Used to be to the minute 3rd: tell and write time to the minute
NO elapsed time 4th: elapsed time using tools 5th: solving problems involving elapsed time
July, 2006
Instructional Implications of elementary math TEKS refinements Number and Operations
K: specifies dealing with numbers up to 20
1.3B: Use concrete and pictorial models to apply basic addition and subtraction facts (up to 9+9=18 and 18-9=9)
Emphasis was added to ensure all addition and subtraction at 1st grade is done using concrete and pictorial models and the word subtraction has been added. We have always taught subtraction because it was implied but now it is explicitly stated.
July, 2006
Instructional Implications of elementary math TEKS refinements 2.2C: use concrete models to determine if a
fractional part of a whole is closer to 0, ½, or 1.
This is the first time students will be comparing fractions, must be taught using concrete models and only comparing to see if it is closer to 0, one-half, or a whole (1).
July, 2006
Instructional Implications of elementary math TEKS refinements 2.3B: Model addition and subtraction of two digit
numbers with objects, pictures, words, and numbers.
Addition and subtraction will go through all three stages (concrete, pictorial, and abstract) during 2nd grade.
July, 2006
Instructional Implications of elementary math TEKS refinements Patterns, relationships and algebraic thinking
1.5D Use patterns to develop strategies to solve basic addition and subtraction problems
Emphasis added: students must develop strategies to assist them in solving addition and subtraction problem, NOT just memorize facts.

Assessing our Curriculum:
TAKS UpdateWhat’s new
All math Tests will be on the TEA Website on July 28th
July, 2006
Release of TAKS Tests
TEA has released student expectations assessed on the 2006 tests. They are posted online.
TEA will release TAKS tests for the 2005-06 school year
Released tests posted online on July 28, 2006
Delivered to districts by August 11th
July, 2006
Eligibility of TEKS for TAKS
The Student Assessment Division of the Texas Education Agency is now able to assure Texas educators that the spring 2007 (and beyond) TAKS math tests will be aligned to the 2005 refined mathematics TEKS for both secondary and elementary. This means that TAKS test items addressing student expectations from the 1997 original math TEKS that are no longer part of the 2005 refined math TEKS will be deleted from our TAKS math item banks. The spring 2007 TAKS math tests will continue to assess eligible content from the 2005 refined math TEKS.
July, 2006
Effects of TEKS Refinements on TAKS Grades 3-5
Spring 2007 tests will not assess skills/concepts that have been removed from the TEKS, i.e. narrower focus, limitations, etc.
Spring 2008 tests may include field test items that assess additional skills/concepts
Spring 2009 tests may include live items (for accountability) that assess additional skills/concepts
July, 2006
Elementary Math TAKS Survey
Online survey will be conducted: Aug 1 – Sept 30, 2006
http://www.tea.state.us.us/student.assessment/resources/letters
Requesting each campus to review and discuss the refined
TEKS and make a recommendation
Submit campus consensus online between August 1 and September 30, 2006
