What is found in an Engaging Mathematics TEKS-based activity?








TEKS have been
phrased in student-
friendly language so
that students may
gauge their learning.
Common classroom materials
are used for ease of
preparation. Materials are listed
1-per-student unless otherwise
noted. Page titles for student

questions are
included to assist
the teacher with
facilitating a post-
activity student
discussion.
Key learning outcomes
from the debriefing
discussion are
summarized here.
Key learning outcomes from
the Communicating about
Mathematics section are
included here.
Each activity
includes an
opportunity for
students to
articulate and
summarize their
