Pilot Grade 8 Math
In this course, students will build understanding of the following modules: Transforming Geometric Objects, Developing Function Foundations, Data Data Everywhere, Modeling Linear Equations, and Applying Powers.
Each module is broken up into topics where you will find teacher materials to guide the instruction and the student materials both used in the classroom for learning together and learning individually.
The agency developed these learning resources as a contingency option for school districts during COVID. All resources are optional. Prior to publication, materials go through a rigorous third-party review. Review criteria include TEKS alignment, support for all learners, progress monitoring, implementation supports, and more. Products also are subject to a focus group of Texas educators.
Pilot Edition Texas OER K-5 Math, COVID Emergency Release (CER 2.0)
The 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. Edition 1 can be accessed at the State Board of Education webpage.

Prevention and Awareness: Human Trafficking of School-Aged Children
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) amended its child abuse prevention, mandatory reporting, and training requirements to include human trafficking in alignment with updates to state law concerning the definition of child abuse and neglect (TAC § 61.1051, Subchapter EE, Commissioner’s Rules on Reporting Child Abuse or Neglect, including Trafficking of a Child).
Training concerning prevention techniques for, and recognition of, sexual abuse, trafficking, and other maltreatment of children including those with significant cognitive disabilities, must be provided as a part of new employee orientation and to existing school staff not previously trained as required by TEC §38.004.
The purpose of this module is to assist and equip educators in meeting the training requirements for the Commissioner's Rule (TAC §61.1051) on reporting Child Abuse, Neglect, including Trafficking of a Child. Each district and open-enrollment charter school must maintain records that include the name of each staff member who participated in training (TAC §61.1051). It is the responsibility of the LEA to track the participation and completion of this training module locally.
Local Education Agencies (LEAs) represent one of the largest professional resources for reporting suspected child abuse in Texas. It is critical for district leadership, educators, and school staff to remain vigilant in their identification and reporting of suspected child abuse, neglect, including the trafficking of a child.
