Eureka Math® TEKS Edition Accelerates Knowledge Growth

Impact on STAAR Math Proficiency

Research Findings

The analysis demonstrates that districts using Eureka Math TEKS Edition saw much greater year-over-year growth in math proficiency than districts using other math curricula.

Even more compelling, students with lower proficiency in 2024 saw the biggest gains in 2025, speaking to Eureka Math TEKS Edition’s power to close achievement gaps.

The analyses also revealed that these improvements compound over time: districts implementing Eureka Math TEKS Edition for at least two years see substantially greater proficiency increases than districts using other math curricula.
