Why Math in Focus?
What is Math in Focus?
How does it Fit Into Instruction?
Questions
TEKS: 2nd Grade
Old TEK
2014-2015
2.3 Number, operation, and
quantitative reasoning. The student
adds and subtracts whole numbers
to solve problems. The student is
expected to:
2.4 Number and operations. The student applies
mathematical process standards to develop and
use strategies and methods for whole number
computations in order to solve addition and
subtraction problems with efficiency and
accuracy. The student is expected to:
(B) model addition and subtraction of
two-digit numbers with objects,
pictures, words, and numbers;
(B) add up to four two-digit numbers and subtract
two-digit numbers using mental strategies and
algorithms based on knowledge of place value and
properties of operations;

Direct Involvement is..
Direct
Involvement
• Whole Group
• Based on the Teach/Learn
• Discussion Based. BOOKS ARE
CLOSED
• Designed to begin with what the
students know (prior knowledge)
and coach them toward the key
mathematical idea.
Guided Practice is…
Guided
Practice
• Flexible Grouping with narrowed
ability
• Dedicate more teacher time to
strugglers. Teaching between the
desks.
• Begin the planning of small
groups. When pull groups, others
are totally independent
Independent Practice is…
Independent
Practice
• Completely Independent!
• Allow students ownership of the
content.
• Formative Assessment-Let’s
Practice 100% independent!
• Make decisions about reteaching, practice, or enrichment

• TEKS
First Grade
TEK: 1.3A Number and operations. The student
applies mathematical process standards to develop
and use strategies for whole number addition and
subtraction computations in order to solve
problems. The student is expected to:
(A) use concrete and pictorial models to determine
the sum of a multiple of 10 and a one-digit number
in problems up to 99;
Second Grade
TEK: 2.3B Number, operation, and quantitative
reasoning. The student adds and subtracts whole
numbers to solve problems. The student is
expected to: (B) model addition and subtraction of
two-digit numbers with objects, pictures, words,
and numbers;
·
Third Grade:
3.5A Algebraic reasoning. The student applies
mathematical process standards to analyze and create
patterns and relationships. The student is expected to: (A)
represent one- and two-step problems involving addition
and subtraction of whole numbers to 1,000 using pictorial
models, number lines, and equations;
·
Fourth Grade:
4.4 A the student will use mathematical application and
mathematical process standards to add and subtract
whole numbers and decimals to the hundredths place
using the standard algorithm.
Fifth Grade TEK:
● 5.3A Number, operation, and quantitative
reasoning. Estimate to determine solutions to
mathematical and real-world problems involving
addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
