In 2011-12 the State Board of Education oversaw the rewriting of math standards. This process, more than any prior math standards (TEKS) process, brought input from a large pool of math leaders and teachers. Literally hundreds had input via the internet. As the groups assembled in Austin to produce these new TEKS they relied upon a number of sources….Singapore math, the current TEKS, etc. They even looked at Common Core Math Standards.
Notice the first source he mentions they used when creating the TEKS was Singapore math. Take a look at this article about children in Singapore. IT WILL SCARE YOU TO DEATH!
They believe our children can accomplish these rigorous standards. Maybe they can, but will this be the cost!
