Standards Alignment
The mathematics are aligned with the learning
expectations of the TEKS, including the mathematical
process standards.
There is an appropriate balance of skill development,
conceptual understanding, and mathematical processes.
Mathematical ideas are connected and interwoven
across strands instead of studied in isolation.
Contextual problems engage students and, where
appropriate, give rise to mathematics ideas.
Student Materials
The focus of the product is on building conceptual
understanding
The product includes a balanced blend of hands-on
investigations, direct concept lessons, procedural
fluency and process skills instruction.
Instruction materials provide access to the standards for
all students, including ELL, GATE, at-risk, and other
students of specials need
Instructional Focus
Lessons promote classroom discourse by explicitly
requiring students to share their thinking or strategies.
Includes worthwhile, rigorous mathematical tasks to
engage, motivate, and challenge all students to think
mathematically.
Lessons involve the use of instructional technology,
manipulatives, or other tools so that students can
visualize complex concepts, acquire and analyze
information and communicate solutions.
Resource is aligned with district initiatives.(First Steps)
