Curriculum Map for 1st Grade TEKS - Texas

About this resource

What's inside this resource

This Curriculum Map is a teaching tool to help 1st grade educators in Texas plan lessons that address the TEKS educational standards for their grade level. The easy-to-use Excel file outlines the TEKS objectives for math, language arts, social studies, and science that students are expected to master by the end of the school year. With this curriculum guide, teachers can scope and sequence instruction more effectively. Educators can adjust and customize the file's contents to meet local scope and sequence requirements. Use this map for instructional planning and pacing individually or collaboratively with team members. Refer to it when designing activities, projects, assessments, and interventions tiered for the learning needs of whole class, small groups, partners, or individual students. This curriculum map empowers Texas educators with a practical tool for ensuring 1st grade instruction deliberately targets the educational standards that matter most.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

Use the map to check which TEKS strands are due for coverage in a given month across all subjects at once, rather than checking each subject's standards separately.
Because the file is an editable spreadsheet, adjust the month-by-month pacing to match a specific school's calendar or a modified scope-and-sequence.
Cross-reference this map against a school or district's official scope and sequence before finalizing a pacing plan, since it reflects this contributor's own month-by-month grouping of the standards rather than a state-issued pacing calendar.

Skills covered

Curriculum pacing — teachers reference month-by-month TEKS coverage across ten subject areas to plan a full first-grade school year.
Cross-subject planning — teachers see reading, math, science, social studies, health, PE, and fine arts standards side by side for the same month.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Does the map cover the full school year?

It covers ten months, August through May, split across two sheets — the first for August through December and the second for January through May.

How are the ELA standards organized within the map?

Into four separate columns rather than one combined ELA column — Oral Language & Vocabulary/Fluency & Self-Sustained Reading, Beginning Reading and Writing, Comprehension & Response/multiple genres and author's purpose, and Composition & Inquiry/Research — so each ELA strand can be tracked separately month to month.
