TEKS
Texas has adopted curriculum standards that are to be used in all the state's public schools. The current standards, which outline what students are to learn in each course or grade, are called Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). The standards are adopted by the State Board of Education, after extensive input from educators and other stakeholders.

At Home Connections
At Home Connections
The following are suggestions for reinforcing number sense and mathematical reasoning at home. These ideas can be used throughout the school year. You will find additional ideas to reinforce learning at home within each unit below.
Ask questions that require students to describe and elaborate on their thinking and reasoning. Topics can be about
everyday things as well as mathematics.Engage students in situations that challenge them to inquire and persevere through questioning.
Play card games with students
Play games with students such as Mancala, Yahtzee, Blokus, Rack-O, Mastemind, etc.
Work number puzzles such as Sudoku, KenKen, Kakuro, or Numbrix.
