Covid Emergency Release, Pilot EditionsThe COVID Emergency Release Pilot Edition V2 K-5 Math is currently called Eureka Math TEKS Edition and was built based on Texas standards. Students develop conceptual understanding, practice procedural skills and fluency, and apply what they learn in real-world scenarios. All topics are linked across modules and grade levels to help students build an enduring understanding of math through rigorous instruction.
The Texas Education Agency developed these learning resources as one option for school districts during COVID. The use of these resources is optional. Prior to publication, materials went through a rigorous third-party review. Review criteria included TEKS alignment, support for all learners, progress monitoring, implementation supports, and more. These are pilot materials and will not be submitted for IMRA Review. These materials have been revised through our continuous improvement process to form our first non-emergency edition which was submitted to the State Board of Education (SBOE) as part of the Instructional Materials and Review (IMRA) 2024 process.
For more information regarding these instructional materials please visit the TEA Available Instructional Materials website. If you have questions or concerns about the instructional materials, please email us at openeducationresources@tea.texas.gov.
