Newly Adopted Math TEKS:
A New Generation of TEKS
 The Texas College and Career Readiness
Standards set a high bar for preparing all
Texas students for success in the
workplace.
 With a targeted focus on college and career
readiness for all students, TEA will continue
to support students and teachers in
reaching higher academic standards.

Newly Adopted Math TEKS:
A New Generation of TEKS
Charge from the Commissioner
 New research had come out since our last
standards development.
 The process standards need to be
consistent from grades K – 12.

Newly Adopted Math TEKS
Process Standards
 The intent of the State Board of Education
(SBOE) is that the process standards should
not be addressed nor assessed in isolation.
 The instructional materials and assessment
items for mathematics must integrate the
process standards into the rest of the
student expectations for each grade level
and high school course.

Newly Adopted Math TEKS
Process Standards
 The Commissioner assembled a group of
mathematics experts to develop a draft of
the standards.
 This draft was used as a starting point for
the committee as they developed the TEKS.

Newly Adopted Math TEKS Process

During the first and second meetings, the committee
reviewed the Commissioner’s draft and made
recommendations. These meetings occurred in the
spring and summer of 2011.

The committee recommendations were posted for
informal feedback.

Feedback from SBOE-appointed math experts was
provided as part of the TEKS Update at the September
2011 SBOE meeting.

In October of 2011, the committee met to develop
final recommendations based on directions from the
SBOE and informal feedback.

Newly Adopted Math TEKS Process

The math TEKS were a discussion item on the SBOE
agenda at the November 2011 meeting.

A public hearing was held during the January 2012
SBOE meeting. The recommendations were approved
for first reading and filing authorization.

Official public comment period opened following the
January 2012 SBOE meeting.

A second public hearing was held before the April
2012 SBOE meeting. The proposed revisions to the
TEKS were presented for second reading and final
adoption.

Newly Adopted Math TEKS
Personal Financial Literacy
 A bill was passed by the 82nd Texas
Legislature in 2011 requiring the SBOE to
incorporate personal financial literacy
standards in math for grades K - 8.
 At the January 2012 SBOE meeting, the
personal financial literacy strand was
added to the TEKS for grades K - 8.

Implementation Timeline
Kindergarten - Grade 8
 The new math TEKS for grades K - 8 will be
implemented in the 2014 - 2015 school
year.
 Instructional materials for Math K - 8 were
adopted by the State Board of Education in
November 2013.

Implementation Timeline
High School Math Courses
 The new math TEKS for the high school
courses are scheduled to be implemented
in the 2015 – 2016 school year.
 Proclamation 2015 calls for the review and
adoption of instructional materials for the
high school courses.

Texas Response to the Curriculum
Focal Points (TxCFP)
Clear, consistent instructional grade-level
priorities can help teachers understand the
points in the curriculum at which important
mathematical topics must be taught in depth
at each grade level, thus providing the
foundation for connections across grade levels.
