InsightMath-Texas
Building Mathematical Thinkers
The only TEKS-aligned elementary comprehensive, math curriculum built on how the brain learns.
InsightMath Texas is the only K-5 elementary comprehensive, TEKS-aligned curriculum designed from the ground up using neuroscience, ensuring students don’t just learn math, they understand it deeply and carry that confidence with them for life.
Developed by MIND Education, the team behind ST Math Texas, InsightMath Texas transforms math instruction by focusing on how students learn best—through seeing, playing, discussing, and problem-solving.
More than just a curriculum, it’s a new way to experience math.
How InsightMath Texas Works
In InsightMath Texas, students don’t just watch math being explained, they experience it for themselves.
They engage with math visually and actively: making predictions, testing ideas, discussing their thinking, and revising along the way. This mirrors how the brain naturally builds understanding through the Perception-Action Cycle of doing, reflecting, and learning.
Structured lessons combine visual puzzles, hands-on exploration, and collaborative discourse to create a classroom where every student is thinking, talking, and making sense of math.
Why School Districts Choose InsightMath Texas
Most math programs still rely on explaining procedures, leaving students disengaged and dependent on memorization. Teachers work hard, but rigid curricula make it difficult to support real understanding.
InsightMath Texas helps students develop deep understanding, reasoning skills, and academic vocabulary needed for STAAR success.
Approved as High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) for Texas classrooms. Designed to meet the needs of all learners, including emergent bilingual students.
Rooted in Neuroscience
Anchored in how the brain makes sense of math through perception, action, and reflection.
“This program was very engaging. Students were responsible for their learning.”
– Caroline Bryson, Teacher, Navarro ISD
Designed for All Learners
Visual-first instruction removes language-related barriers, supporting students with diverse learning needs, including multilingual learners.
“InsightMath provides every student an entry point.”
– Kerien Driscoll, Assistant Principal, Lowell Public Schools
Empowering for Teachers
Ready-to-use lessons, professional learning, and embedded supports that simplify instruction.
“I love that InsightMath lets me see how my students are thinking in real time.”
– Annie Koga, Teacher, Rio School District
A Game-changer for Engagement

“What stood out most with InsightMath was how confidently my students talked about their work–even when they got it wrong.” – Ellery Cushing, Teacher, Rio School District
A Learning Experience Like No Other
InsightMath Texas combines powerful tools and purposeful learning experiences to bring math to life in every classroom. Each component is designed to support the way students think, explore, and build deep understanding.
“I really liked the opportunity for student discourse and productive
struggle in all lessons. The students exploring to learn a new concept instead of teachers lecturing was super impactful on their learning. The teachers’ lesson slides are easy to use and well paced.” Emily Landrum, Math Specialist, Navarro ISD, TX

“The lesson was very ‘hands on’ and engaging! The students commented later that it was very fun and they liked the way it was presented. The program is high quality! This system is very brain development based. This is how math should be taught! I can’t wait to use it! It is very different than our current curriculum. It is very easy to follow and very well paced.“
