In the Mathematics Achievement Academy for K-1, participants will:
• examine the K-1TEKS based on learning progressions and critical checkpoints for
understanding;
• experience classroom-ready activities, including formative assessment and follow-up
activities that account for learner variability;
• build a toolkit of strategies and key questions through analysis of activities for students
with disabilities, English language learners, students struggling to learn mathematics, and
gifted learners; and
• explore structures that provide opportunities for meaningful practice and feedback.
Through hands-on activities focusing on whole number operations and fraction concepts,
these trainings are designed to strengthen participants' knowledge of mathematics' concepts
and processes, improve overall mathematics instruction, and lead to student success on
statewide assessments and p
