What’s New with the
6th Grade Math TEKS?
Sami Briceño– Senior Manager of School Partnerships
NEW MATHEMATICS TEKS: Introductory Paragraph
• The desire to achieve educational excellence is
the driving force behind the Texas essential
knowledge and skills for mathematics, guided by
the college and career readiness standards. By
embedding statistics, probability, and finance,
while focusing on computational thinking,
mathematical fluency, and solid understanding,
Texas will lead the way in mathematics education
and prepare all Texas students for the challenges
they will face in the 21st century
NEW MATHEMATICS TEKS
• The new Mathematics Texas Essential Knowledge
and Skills (TEKS) adopted in 2012 will go into
effect in 2014-15 for Grade K-8 and 2015-16 for
High School Courses.
ORGANIZATION OF STANDARDS
• The kindergarten through eighth grade standards
are organized by mathematics topic areas or
strands
Adopted 2012 Grade 6 Math TEKS—
Strands
Current 2006 Grade 6 Math TEKS—
Strands Mathematical Process Standards Number, Operation and Quantitative
Reasoning
Number and Operations Patterns, Relationships, and Algebraic
Thinking
Proportionality Geometry and Spatial Reasoning
Expressions, Equations, and Relationships Probability and Statistics
Measurement and Data Underlying Processes and Mathematical
Tools

MATHEMATICAL PROCESS STANDARDS: Introductory Paragraph
• The process standards describe ways in which
students are expected to engage in the content.
The placement of the process standards at the
beginning of the knowledge and skills listed for
each grade and course is intentional. The process
standards weave the other knowledge and skills
together so that students may be successful
problem solvers and use mathematics efficiently
and effectively in daily life. The process standards
are integrated at every grade level and course.
(1) Mathematical process standards. The student uses mathematical processes to acquire and demonstrate mathematical understanding. The student is expected to:
(A) apply mathematics to problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace;
(B) use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution;
(C) select tools, including real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology as appropriate, and techniques, including mental math, estimation, and number sense as appropriate, to solve problems;
(D) communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language as appropriate;
(E) create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas;
(F) analyze mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas; and
(G) display, explain, and justify mathematical ideas and arguments using precise mathematical language in written or oral communication.
WHAT ARE THE CHANGES?
• The Mathematical Process Standards are now “Standard 1” in each grade/course. (For example 6.1A-G; 7.1A-G, etc)
• The Mathematical Process Standards are now Kindergarten through High School, previously only K-8. Version of process standards used to be in introductory paragraphs of high school courses.
• All knowledge and skills begin with “The student applies mathematical process standards to”
– For example, “6.3 Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to represent addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division while solving problems and justifying solutions. The student is expected to:”

WHERE DID THEY GO?
EXPECTATION OF MASTERY
• The standards are placed at the grade level where
mastery is expected. This does not preclude
introducing the content at earlier grade levels.
Preparatory content can and should be introduced
earlier as appropriate. These decisions are local
decisions.
