| For more details |
Short on time? Lone Star Express is the answer!
There are between 38 and 43 math TEKS that your
students are expected to know by the end of the year.
Mastering all of these TEKS is a monumental task. You
can't afford to wait until February to start preparing for the
TAKS. America Math Lone Star Express™ gets you
started in the fall.
Express, like our full-length warm-up, systematically
distributes and reviews the TEKS over a 16 to 32 week
course. Unlike the full-length version, though, Express
divides each page into halves. One half is dedicated to
TEKS-based numeracy and skills, and one half is
dedicated to TEKS-based word problems.
Express gives you flexibility when time is tight. Work half of
a page each day, or work half of a page in class and send
the other half home for homework. Work half in the
morning and half in the afternoon. The possibilities are
endless.
If your math block is an hour or less, opt for Express. It
gets the job done with added flexibility.
