InsightMath – Texas
Math the Way the Brain Learns
InsightMath Texas offers High-Quality Instructional Material for K–5 mathematics—TEKS aligned and ELPS supported, and built on how the brain learns. Designed from the ground up with neuroscience, it empowers all students to understand math deeply and grow as confident problem solvers.
Grounded in research-based instructional strategies (RBIS), InsightMath Texas prepares students for long-term success, with full ELPS support to provide access for every learner.
Built on the same approach behind ST Math, one of the most proven math programs in the country, InsightMath Texas removes barriers with a visual-first approach so every student can access and understand rigorous, grade-level math.
Math education isn’t working for too many students and it’s costing them their future.
The problem isn’t ability; it’s approach.
Traditional instruction often prioritizes memorization over meaning, leaving students disengaged and anxious about math. Teachers are asked to move quickly, without the time or tools to help students truly understand.
Only 41% of Texas students met grade-level expectations in math on the 2024 STAAR exam (Texas Education Agency).
In Texas, less than half of students meet math standards on STAAR, leaving gaps that persist into higher grades.
Nearly 90% of employers look for strong problem-solving skills in candidates (NACE Job Outlook, 2024).
Districts leaders feel urgency to:
- Boost Achievement – Raise scores for all students, across every subgroup.
- Engage Students – Keep every learner actively involved and curious.
- Support Teachers – Reduce prep time while increasing instructional impact.
InsightMath Texas
Designed from the ground up using neuroscience, InsightMath Texas removes language barriers with a visual-first approach—inviting every learner into the thinking from the start so every student can access and understand rigorous, grade-level math.
Students don’t just memorize steps. They see the math, make sense of it, and apply their understanding to real-world problems.
Why it works:
TEKS-aligned scope and sequence ensures teachers can confidently meet state standards while engaging every learner.
- A culture of curiosity and perseverance in every classroom
- Coherent K–5 progression that develops deep conceptual understanding
- Engaging puzzles, discourse, and problem-solving to drive critical thinking
- Built-in support for multilingual learners, fully aligned with English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS).
“I love that InsightMath lets me see how my students are thinking in real time. The built-in visuals support their conceptual understanding, and the instant feedback keeps them engaged and growing every day.”
—Annie Koga, Elementary Teacher
With MIND’s approach, districts have seen:
+19% year‑over‑year increase in math achievement — across all student subgroups, including multilingual learners, students with IEPs, and historically underserved communities.
18.7% of students using this approach moved up at least one performance level between grade 3 and grade 5, while statewide averages remained flat or declined.
From Big Ideas to Lasting Understanding
Every lesson begins with a Big Idea — a clear, compelling concept that anchors the day’s learning and connects to what students already know. With visual-first learning that removes language barriers and built-in supports for diverse learners, all students can access rigorous, grade-level content.
When students learn this way, they:
- Retain and transfer knowledge to new problems
- Approach challenges with perseverance
- See themselves as capable mathematical thinkers
When teachers have the right tools, they:
- Facilitate deeper conversations
- Support every learner without slowing the class pace
- Build a positive, collaborative math culture

These are the daily experiences that move math from rote steps to real thinking—making them not “extra,” but simply how math happens, every day.
Getting started is Simple
Every grade begins with Unit Zero—a short, purposeful start that builds routines, confidence, and a shared language for math learning. Teachers and students feel ready before new content begins.
Together, these elements create a consistent, brain-aligned curriculum that meets the full scope of district needs. Teachers feel supported, not burdened, with resources designed to meet both TEKS and local pacing guides.
Two problems. The same math. Completely different access.
Traditional math:
A system of equations in three variables, typically solved through multiple symbolic steps, taught individually before being applied together.
InsightMath Texas:
This is the same problem, but presented through a visual-first approach that provides access for all students, allowing them to explore new ideas before the content is formally introduced.
InsightMath Texas offers a TEKS-aligned pathway that makes rigorous content accessible to every learner.
Students
Show higher engagement, deeper understanding, and greater confidence in math.
Teachers
Have the tools, support, and insights to help every student succeed.
Families
Play an active role in reinforcing learning beyond the classroom.
“With InsightMath, students were willing to engage—even when the problems were challenging. Every student participated, thinking critically about what the problem meant and what tools they could use.”
— Kerien Driscoll, Assistant Principal
