Making Math Discourse Doable in Texas Classrooms

A New Program That Promotes Math Discourse and Fully Prepares Students for the TEKS

When students transform their mathematics learning and thinking into words, they dramatically expand their ability to think critically about math, develop higher-order thinking skills, and apply their knowledge to new and novel math situations. That's why Ready Texas Mathematics features the Think–Share–Compare routine—an embedded instructional routine designed to support mathematical discourse and strengthen and expand teaching strategies.
