Learn what administrators can do to support efforts by teachers to prepare elementary students for algebra topics that will come in middle school. The Elementary-School Students in Texas: Algebra Ready (ESTAR) training will inform and familiarize participants with the Texas Response to Curriculum Focal Points (TXRCFP) as a framework for improving overall mathematics instruction and achievement, in order to decrease the percentage of students who need math intervention. The TXRCFP was created from the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and identifies critical areas for mathematics instruction at each grade level.
