DISD will implement the

new revised K-2 Math TEKS in 2014-2015.

Primary focal points are core structures that

lay a conceptual foundation for each grade.

Building Blocks: K-2 Revised Math TEKS

Norms•Participate•Be respectful •Challenge your limits•Monitor technology•Make learning meaningful

Core Beliefs• Our main purpose is to improve student academic achievement.

• Effective instruction makes the most difference in student academic performance.

• There is no excuse for poor quality instruction.

• With our help, at risk students will achieve at the same rate as non-at risk students.

• Staff members must have a commitment to children and a commitment to the pursuit of excellence.

Session Outcomes Become familiar with the focal points and

TEKS comparison documents. Examine how to use the documents to

improve overall mathematics instruction. Understand the connections of

mathematical concepts and processes within the Revised Math TEKS (2012).

How do you look at things?

• What focal points continue through three grade levels?

• What focal points begin in your grade level?

• What focal points are unique to your grade level?

Primary Focal Points cont’d.Kinder Grade 1 Grade 2

counting and cardinality, understanding addition as joining and sub traction as separating, and comparing objects by measurement attributes.

understanding and applying place value, solving problems involving addition and subtraction, and composing and decomposing two-dimensional shapes and three dimensional solids.

making comparisons within the base-10 place value system, solving problems with addition and subtraction within the 1,000, and building foundations for multiplication
