Texas · Grade 6 through Calculus III

Help any Texas teacher give every student a high-quality secondary math education.

Derivita is a district-wide math improvement system that connects instruction, practice, assessment, and insights in one coherent system, from student and class to PLC, school, and district, seamlessly integrated with your LMS.  Error-specific feedback and step-by-step worked solutions support every teacher, including those new to secondary math.

Aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Mathematics from Grade 6 through Precalculus, with content through Calculus III, reviewed by subject-matter experts.

Open-response practice that helps prepare students for STAAR and college, career, and military readiness, the measures behind Texas A–F ratings.

Aligned to widely used core curricula, including Bluebonnet Learning Secondary Mathematics.

State assessment

Texas students take STAAR mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and the Algebra I end-of-course exam, which House Bill 8 replaces with three shorter assessments across the year beginning in 2027–28. In high school, CCMR counts toward A–F ratings, including meeting the math TSI criteria on the TSIA2, SAT, or ACT.

Derivita's open-response questions are graded for mathematical equivalence, so students practice constructing and justifying answers rather than choosing from a list, the kind of reasoning both state assessments and college readiness benchmarks ask for.

How the alignment works

Standard to skill to question. Each standard breaks down into the skills it asks of students, and each skill links to Derivita questions that practice and assess it.

Reviewed by subject-matter experts, and used alongside the instructional materials your district has already adopted, including lesson-by-lesson alignment to Bluebonnet Learning Secondary Mathematics.

Through-year assessment

Three checkpoints a year. Visibility in between.

Beginning in 2027–28, House Bill 8 replaces the single end-of-year test with three shorter assessments across the year. Each checkpoint shows where students stand. Derivita helps district teams see what happens between them, so instruction can adjust before the next one.

Practice that shows the thinking

Students construct their own answers, and Derivita grades them for mathematical equivalence. When a student makes a specific error, the feedback names it without giving away the answer, so productive struggle stays productive.

Common assessments for every PLC

Campus teams give the same TEKS-aligned assessment, and results come together automatically. Teachers can compare item by item and talk about what worked in one classroom and not another.

A standard-level view for district leaders

See progress by standard, course, and campus across the year, not just at three moments. Leaders can direct support where it's needed while there's still time to act.

{ First, it prevents students from sharing answers and copying assignments. Second, it extends learning for students. Along with that, I can gather data more easily and use it far more effectively than with traditional paper homework. What I like most is that I can allow students to redo homework as many times as they're willing to try until they reach 100% on every assignment. }

Frequently asked questions

Questions Texas districts ask us.

Is Derivita aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Mathematics?

Yes. Derivita provides standard-by-standard alignment to the TEKS for Mathematics, from Grade 6 through Precalculus, reviewed by subject-matter experts. Each student expectation is broken into the teachable skills behind it, and each skill is backed by auto-graded Derivita questions.

Which Texas high school math courses does Derivita cover?

Derivita is aligned to Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, Statistics, Advanced Quantitative Reasoning, Discrete Mathematics for Problem Solving, Algebraic Reasoning, and Mathematical Models with Applications, along with Grades 6 through 8.

How does Derivita support college, career, and military readiness in Texas?

Derivita's open-response questions are graded for mathematical equivalence, so students practice constructing and justifying their own answers rather than choosing from a list. That daily practice, from Algebra I through Precalculus and Statistics, helps build the math reasoning behind the TSI college readiness criteria on the TSIA2, SAT, and ACT, which count toward CCMR in Texas's A–F accountability system.

Does Derivita work with the instructional materials and LMS our Texas district already uses?

Yes. Derivita works alongside the instructional materials a district has already adopted, including Bluebonnet Learning, adding daily practice and common assessments aligned to the same TEKS. It runs natively inside Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom, D2L, Moodle, and Blackboard, so students and teachers don't need a separate login.

How can Derivita help districts prepare for through-year assessments under House Bill 8?

House Bill 8 replaces the single end-of-year test with three shorter assessments across the year, beginning in 2027–28. Derivita can help districts see student progress between those checkpoints. Daily TEKS-aligned practice, PLC common assessments, and district-level views of progress by standard give teams time to adjust instruction before the next assessment.

Does Derivita align to Bluebonnet Learning?

Yes. Derivita questions are aligned lesson by lesson to Bluebonnet Learning Secondary Mathematics, so teachers can assign practice and checks for understanding that follow the same sequence as their Bluebonnet lessons, inside the district's LMS.
