As you examine curriculum, instruction, and assessment, consider how the Vertical Look document and the Texas Response to Curriculum Focal Points organize student expectations in different ways.

• The Vertical Look document allows us to explore the alignment of student expectations as key concepts and procedures are developed across grade levels.


• The Texas Response to Curriculum Focal Points reorganizes the Revised TEKS (2012) around "hubs," or big ideas that allow us to connect student expectations and build a stronger network of mathematical ideas and concepts.
