LEVEL E MATHEMATICS- A supplemental print resource to help students in grades 5 (Level E) prepare for STAAR testing in math. Content is organized in short lessons that address specific TEKS. Instruction provides ample opportunities for students to practice and apply problem-solving strategies. Content is organized in chapters that address key concepts in the TEKS for each grade level (e.g., rational numbers, place value, measurement). Each chapter is made up of short lessons that address specific TEKS. Lessons are presented in five parts: (1) an introduction titled Understand the TEKS, (2) Guided Instruction, (3) Critical Thinking problems, (4) STAAR Practice problems, and (5) a STAAR Assessment practice test. Each chapter ends with a cumulative "Building Stamina for the STAAR" chapter test that includes problems addressing each of the TEKS covered in the chapter. The final chapter at each grade level addresses financial literacy. Teacher editions also contain two versions of a cumulative STAAR practice test, a table identifying the TEKS addressed by each practice test problem, and a prescriptive answer key to support reteaching.
