Pilot Grade 8 Math
In this course, students will build understanding of the following modules: Transforming Geometric Objects, Developing Function Foundations, Data Data Everywhere, Modeling Linear Equations, and Applying Powers.
Each module is broken up into topics where you will find teacher materials to guide the instruction and the student materials both used in the classroom for learning together and learning individually.
The agency developed these learning resources as a contingency option for school districts during COVID. All resources are optional. Prior to publication, materials go through a rigorous third-party review. Review criteria include TEKS alignment, support for all learners, progress monitoring, implementation supports, and more. Products also are subject to a focus group of Texas educators.
Pilot Algebra I
In this course, students will build understanding of the following modules: Searching for Patterns, Exploring Constant Change, Investigating Growth and Decay, and Maximizing and Minimizing.

Pilot Edition Texas OER K-5 Math, COVID Emergency Release (CER 2.0)
CER Updates
On July 31, 2025, the CER pilot instructional materials that align with State Board of Education (SBOE)-approved Bluebonnet Learning materials will be removed from all TEA platforms [e.g., TEA Instructional materials website, Texas Gateway, Test Delivery System (TDS), OER-Assessment Viewing Application (AVA)].
The following CER pilot instructional materials will remain available until they are approved by the SBOE through the Instructional Materials Review and Approval (IMRA) process:
Pilot Accelerated Math (Grades 6 and 7)
Pilot Geometry
Pilot Algebra II
Bluebonnet Learning Updates
In November 2024, the following Bluebonnet Learning Edition 1 instructional materials were approved through the IMRA process by the SBOE:
K–3 Foundational Skills
K–5 Reading Language Arts
K–5 Math
Secondary Mathematics (Grades 6–8, Algebra I)
These instructional materials, as well as implementation supports and the Bluebonnet Learning pilot programs, will be available on the new Bluebonnet Learning Portal. The Bluebonnet Learning Portal will allow open access to all Bluebonnet Learning instructional materials, for any Texan, with no login necessary.
Covid Emergency Release, Pilot EditionsThe COVID Emergency Release Pilot Edition V2 K-5 Math is currently called Eureka Math TEKS Edition and was built based on Texas standards. Students develop conceptual understanding, practice procedural skills and fluency, and apply what they learn in real-world scenarios. All topics are linked across modules and grade levels to help students build an enduring understanding of math through rigorous instruction.
The Texas Education Agency developed these learning resources as one option for school districts during COVID. The use of these resources is optional. Prior to publication, materials went through a rigorous third-party review. Review criteria included TEKS alignment, support for all learners, progress monitoring, implementation supports, and more. These are pilot materials and will not be submitted for IMRA Review. These materials have been revised through our continuous improvement process to form our first non-emergency edition which was submitted to the State Board of Education (SBOE) as part of the Instructional Materials and Review (IMRA) 2024 process.
For more information regarding these instructional materials please visit the TEA Available Instructional Materials website. If you have questions or concerns about the instructional materials, please email us at openeducationresources@tea.texas.gov.
TEA Update on STAAR™ Mathematics - Feb 2013
Julie Guthrie, Director of Math & Science Assessments at the Texas Education Agency, delivers an overview of the STAAR™ program; the STAAR standard-setting process; STAAR mathematics assessments; and implementation of the new mathematics TEKS into STAAR.
Moon Phases
Tier I resource for instruction on the lunar phases.
Mathematics TEKS: Supporting Information
This resource presents supporting information of the mathematics TEKS for Kindergarten through Grade 12.
Response to Intervention (RtI)
Response to Intervention (RtI) is a multi-tiered framework designed to recognize and assist struggling learners through a systematic approach that includes strategies for intervention across curriculum, instruction, assessment and implementation.
SE - Sample Videos
This resource includes four sample videos:
1. Precalculus: Exponential Functions
2. Statistics: Introduction to Confidence Intervals
3. Chemistry: Wave Nature of Light
4. Physics: Distance and Displacement
6 Targeting the 2 Percent
This resource provides reading intervention lessons for teachers who work with students in grades K–5. Targeting the 2 Percent (T2%) aims to improve the instruction, content knowledge, and academic achievement of Texas students transitioning from assessments based on modified standards to the general state assessment, the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®).
For more information about this project and other materials available, visit the T2% Support Center.
7 TEKS Exploration: B(4)(C)
This binder explores the standard B(4)(C) and provides resources and materials to help teachers understand the TEKS, teach the standard and assess students' understanding of the standard. This binder also contains strategies for differentiating instruction when teaching the standard as well offers resources that teachers can provide to parents for assisting their child.
Prevention and Awareness: Human Trafficking of School-Aged Children
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) amended its child abuse prevention, mandatory reporting, and training requirements to include human trafficking in alignment with updates to state law concerning the definition of child abuse and neglect (TAC § 61.1051, Subchapter EE, Commissioner’s Rules on Reporting Child Abuse or Neglect, including Trafficking of a Child).
Training concerning prevention techniques for, and recognition of, sexual abuse, trafficking, and other maltreatment of children including those with significant cognitive disabilities, must be provided as a part of new employee orientation and to existing school staff not previously trained as required by TEC §38.004.
The purpose of this module is to assist and equip educators in meeting the training requirements for the Commissioner's Rule (TAC §61.1051) on reporting Child Abuse, Neglect, including Trafficking of a Child. Each district and open-enrollment charter school must maintain records that include the name of each staff member who participated in training (TAC §61.1051). It is the responsibility of the LEA to track the participation and completion of this training module locally.
Local Education Agencies (LEAs) represent one of the largest professional resources for reporting suspected child abuse in Texas. It is critical for district leadership, educators, and school staff to remain vigilant in their identification and reporting of suspected child abuse, neglect, including the trafficking of a child.
