<strong>Grade</strong> 2 – MathematicsCurrent TEKS: Probability and Statistics Revised TEKS (2012) Supporting Information Notes2(11)(A) Probability and statistics.The student organizes data to make it usefulfor interpreting information.2(10)(B) Data analysis. The student appliesmathematical process standards to organizedata to make it useful for interpretinginformation and solving problems.The student is expected to organize acollection of data with up to fourcategories using pictographs and bargraphs with intervals of oneor more.The number of categories has been constrainedto four.Intervals may be one or more.+The student is expected to constructpicture graphs and bar-type graphs.2(11)(B) Probability and statistics.The student organizes data to make it usefulfor interpreting information.The student is expected to drawconclusions and answer questions basedon picture graphs and bar-type graphs.2(11)(C) Probability and statistics.The student organizes data to make it usefulfor interpreting information.2(10)(A) Data analysis. The student appliesmathematical process standards to organizedata to make it useful for interpretinginformation and solving problems.The student is expected to explain that thelength of a bar in a bar graph or thenumber of pictures in a pictographrepresents the number of data points for agiven category.2(10)(D) Data analysis. The student appliesmathematical process standards to organizedata to make it useful for interpretinginformation and solving problems.The student is expected to drawconclusions and make predictions frominformation in a graph.2(10)(C) Data analysis. The student appliesmathematical process standards to organizedata to make it useful for interpretinginformation and solving problems.The student is expected to write and solveone-step word problems involving additionor subtraction using data representedwithin pictographs and bar graphs withintervals of one.Specificity has been added in how students areexpected to be able to explain theirconstruction of a picture graph (pictograph) ora bar-type graph (bar graph).Specificity has been added regarding the typesof questions. The questions for this SE willfocus on making predictions.Pairing this SE with revised SEs 2(10)(A) and2(10)(B)shows that the graphs are pictographsand bar graphs.Specificity has been added regarding the typesof questions students are expected to answer.Specificity has been added regarding intervalson the graphs.Students are now expected to write problemsinvolving addition or subtraction using datarepresented within the stated graphs.–The student is expected to use data todescribe events as more likely or lesslikely such as drawing a certain colorcrayon from a bag of seven red crayonsand three green crayons.This skill is not included within the RevisedTEKS (2012).©2013 Texas Education Agency.

<strong>Grade</strong> 2 – MathematicsCurrent TEKS: Underlying Processes andMathematical ToolsRevised TEKS (2012) Supporting Information Notes2(12)(A) Underlying processes andmathematical tools. The student applies<strong>Grade</strong> 2 mathematics to solve problemsconnected to everyday experiences andactivities in and outside of school.The student is expected to identify themathematics in everyday situations.2(12)(B) Underlying processes andmathematical tools. The student applies<strong>Grade</strong> 2 mathematics to solve problemsconnected to everyday experiences andactivities in and outside of school.The student is expected to solve problemswith guidance that incorporates theprocesses of understanding the problem,making a plan, carrying out the plan, andevaluating the solution forreasonableness.2(12)(C) Underlying processes andmathematical tools. The student applies<strong>Grade</strong> 2 mathematics to solve problemsconnected to everyday experiences andactivities in and outside of school.The student is expected to select ordevelop an appropriate problem-solvingplan or strategy including drawing apicture, looking for a pattern, systematicguessing and checking, or acting it out inorder to solve a problem.2(1)(A) Mathematical process standards.The student uses mathematical processes toacquire and demonstrate mathematicalunderstanding.The student is expected to applymathematics to problems arising ineveryday life, society, and the workplace.2(1)(B) Mathematical process standards.The student uses mathematical processes toacquire and demonstrate mathematicalunderstanding.The student is expected to use a problemsolvingmodel that incorporates analyzinggiven information, formulating a plan orstrategy, determining a solution, justifyingthe solution, and evaluating the problemsolvingprocess and the reasonableness ofthe solution.The focus has shifted to application.The opportunities for application have beenconsolidated into three areas: everyday life,society, and the workplace.The revised SE, when tagged to a content SE,allows for increased rigor through connectionsoutside the discipline.The revised SE restates and condenses2(12)(B) and 2(12)(C).Problem-Solving ModelCurrent TEKS Revised TEKS(2012)Understanding theproblemMaking a planCarrying out theplanEvaluating thesolution forreasonablenessAnalyzing giveninformationFormulating a planor strategyDetermining asolutionJustifying thesolutionEvaluating theproblem-solvingprocess and thereasonableness ofthe solution2(12)(D) Underlying processes andmathematical tools. The student applies<strong>Grade</strong> 2 mathematics to solve problemsconnected to everyday experiences andactivities in and outside of school.The student is expected to use tools suchas real objects, manipulatives, andtechnology to solve problems.2(1)(C) Mathematical process standards.The student uses mathematical processes toacquire and demonstrate mathematicalunderstanding.The student is expected to select tools,including real objects, manipulatives,paper and pencil, and technology asappropriate, and techniques, includingmental math, estimation, and numbersense as appropriate, to solve problems.The phrase “as appropriate” has been insertedinto the Revised TEKS (2012). This implies thatstudents are assessing which tool to applyrather than trying only one or all.“Paper and pencil” is now included in the list oftools that still includes real objects,manipulatives, and technology.©2013 Texas Education Agency.
