Digital Instructional Supports

The digital tools included in the Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math enhanced solution provide Texas districts with a suite of resources, including:

• digital versions of the printed OER materials,
• digital student classwork and assignments,
• STAAR-aligned digital assessments and reporting, and more.

Preview the additional instructional supports and resources included with the digital tools below designed to deepen your understanding of Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math and ensure a successful implementation.

Implementing the new high-quality Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math instructional materials and monitoring your district's progress throughout the school year can seem daunting.

Great Minds has created a comprehensive Implementation Plan included in the digital tools that provides districts with clear, manageable steps and resources for each phase of their implementation to help them monitor their progress and prepare for what's coming up next.

Content Study slides for all 40 modules are included with the Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math digital tools and are designed to empower administrators and teacher-leaders to facilitate and support module and topic studies in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).

The educator actions and activities provided in the Content Study slides promote collaboration in PLCs and help foster a supportive teaching environment to support teachers in building a deeper understanding of Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math.

Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math was thoughtfully constructed to focus on key concepts that layer over time. To provide teachers with a clear understanding of when concepts and skills should be mastered according to the TEKS, Great Minds has created Standards Progression documents for Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math.

This resource provides year-long and module-level roadmaps showing how students will progress towards mastery of the standards to help teachers avoid unnecessarily re-teaching concepts and determine when intervention is necessary.

One of the hallmarks of Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math is the progression of learning from simple to complex. This strategic progression can be seen through the consistent and coherent use of mathematical models designed to help students build enduring knowledge every step of the way.

Great Minds has created a six-part video series included with the digital tools that detail the progression of mathematical models to help teachers recognize what foundational knowledge has been established prior to introducing more complex problems.

The following example details how the 5-part model progresses throughout Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math.

Included with the Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math digital tools, Great Minds has created editable slides for each lesson to help teachers plan for instruction and keep students engaged.

Access sample lesson slides from Grade 5 Module 1 Lesson 1 below.

Created by Great Minds, lesson videos are available for over half of Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math lessons. In these videos you will find content-focused, knowledge-building sample instruction for key concepts.
