Mathematics Achievement Academy, Grade 4 Participant Resource
This resource contains the materials and documents previously accessed in the Mathematics Achievement Academy, Grade 4 training.
Mathematics Achievement Academy, Grade 4 Trainer Resource
Through hands on activities focusing on grade 4 student expectations for whole number operations and fraction concepts, these trainings are designed to strengthen participants’ knowledge of mathematics’ concepts and procedures; improve overall mathematics instruction; and lead to student success on statewide assessments and post-secondary readiness.
1 The Revised Math TEKS (Grades K–8): Achieving Fluency and Proficiency
The goals for participation are to define computational fluency, automaticity, mathematical proficiency, and conceptual understanding; to examine the learning progressions for computational fluency; to make connections between computational fluency, mathematical proficiency, and the process standards; and to explore computational fluency and mathematical proficiency activities. This training, previously available in Texas Courses, is now openly available but does not earn course provider credit and no certificate will be offered.
1 The Revised Math TEKS (Grades K–8): Applying the Mathematical Process Standards
The goals for participation are to become familiar with the revised mathematical process standards and compare them to the current underlying processes and mathematical tools, to explore resources on the Texas Gateway, and to amplify instructional tasks. This training, previously available in Texas Courses, is now openly available but does not earn course provider credit and no certificate will be offered.
1 The Revised Math TEKS (Grades K–8): Completing the Gap Analysis
The goals for participation are to become familiar with the focal points and TEKS comparison documents, to examine how to use the documents to improve overall mathematics instruction, and to explore vertical alignment of mathematical concepts and processes. This training, previously available in Texas Courses, is now openly available but does not earn course provider credit and no certificate will be offered.
5 The Revised Math TEKS (Grades K–8) with Supporting Documents
The goals for participation are to become familiar with the focal points and the TEKS comparison documents, to examine how to use the documents to improve overall mathematics instruction, and to explore vertical alignment of mathematical concepts and processes within the Revised TEKS (2012). This training, previously available in Texas Courses, is now openly available but does not earn course provider credit and no certificate will be offered.
Mathematics Achievement Academy, Leadership Overview Trainer Resource
In this training, participants will identify instructional components that develop fluency and number sense, review the structure of the Mathematics Achievement Academy system, understand appropriate applications of problem solving and discourse in the mathematics classroom and identify components of the Mathematics Achievement Academies in instructional practices and support implementation of Mathematics Achievement Academy content.
TXRCFP: Texas Response to Curriculum Focal Points for K-8 Mathematics Revised 2013
The Texas Response to Curriculum Focal Points Revised 2013 was created from the 2012 revision of the TEKS as a guide for implementation of effective mathematics instruction by identifying critical areas of content at each grade level.
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.
Vertical Alignment Charts for Revised Mathematics TEKS
This resource provides vertical alignment charts for the revised mathematics TEKS.
Selecting and Using Representations for Collected Data
Given a variety of data (including line plots, line graphs, stem and leaf plots, circle graphs, bar graphs, box and whisker plots, histograms, and Venn diagrams), the student will select and use an appropriate representation for presenting and displaying relationships among the collected data with and without the use of technology
