If you teach in Texas...

About two weeks ago a couple of good friends and I attended a great workshop on the Revised Math TEKS to be fully implemented during the 2014-2015 school year.  However, many Texas school districts will begin the transition this year.  The workshop was two days long, but filled with detailed information on the deletion of some skills, and the addition of others!  Two of the "biggies" that stood out for me was the following: Revised TEKS 1(2)(B) Number and operations:  The student is expected to use concrete and pictorial models to compose and decompose numbers up to 120 in more than one way as so many hundreds, so many tens, and so many ones. and Revised TEKS 1(4)(C) Number and operations: The student is expected to use relationships to count by twos, fives, and tens to determine the value of a collection of pennies, nickels, and/or dimes.

I was very excited because at the end of the last school year I created a condensed number line that displays and connects pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to the number line. It includes the numbers all the way to 120, and a desk version for my students (with the numbers 0-30.) It looks something like this....

I also created a a 1-120 number chart that highlights twos, fives, tens, pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters!- Here a few views of those charts....
