Parent Resources

How to Help with Homework (en Espanol)
"Homework is an opportunity for children to learn and for families to be involved in their children's education. However, helping children with homework isn't always easy...This booklet also includes practical ideas for helping children to complete homework assignments successfully."
 
Helping Your Child Learn Mathematics (en Espanol)
"In everyday interactions with children, there are many things that parents can do - and do without lecturing or applying pressure - to help children learn to solve problems, to communicate mathematically and to demonstrate reasoning abilities. These skills are fundamental to learning mathematics."
 
"Family members - as children's first teachers - are crucial to student success. And the more adults become engaged in their children's education, the greater the chances that children will succeed. The resources listed here may help as you work with your child. "
 
How to Learn Math is a free class for learners of all levels of Mathematics. There is also an additional class for Teachers and Parents to "explore the research ideas on mathematics learning and student mindsets that can transform students' experiences with math."
 
Live Homework Help is available from 4:00 to 11:00 pm everyday.
 
The math TEKS are available online. Revisions to the math TEKS will begin in 2023-2024.
