There are 53 4th Grade TEKS Math Standards on this page, in 6 strands: Number and Operations, Algebraic Reasoning, Geometry and Measurement, Data Analysis, Personal Financial Literacy, and Mathematical Process Standards.
How do I write an assessment for a 4th Grade TEKS Math standard?
Pick a standard on this page and choose Make a quiz or Make an exit ticket. AssessmentWiz opens the generator with the standard's code and text filled in, so every question targets that standard.
What does a code like 4.2A mean?
TEKS math codes read grade, knowledge and skills statement, student expectation. In 4.2A, the first number is the grade (K for kindergarten), the next number is the knowledge and skills statement, and the letter is the student expectation under it.
