Exact Path K-5 Math is IMRA25 Approved by TEA
Exact Path is approved as a K–5 Supplemental Math Solution by the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) through the Instructional Materials Review and Approval process (IMRA 25) administered by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), confirming that Exact Path meets Texas’s expectations for high-quality, TEKS-aligned, instructional materials under House Bill 1605.
About the Approval
IMRA evaluates whether K–5 math solutions provide developmentally appropriate, standards-aligned materials that support effective teaching and learning for all students. Exact Path meets these expectations with adaptive assessment and instruction grounded in the core numeracy foundations essential to early math development and supported by research demonstrating measurable growth for multilingual learners, students with IEPs, and all students across K–5.
What This Means for Texas Educators
Texas educators now have a state-vetted K–5 math solution that identifies student needs early and supports purposeful instructional decisions across classrooms and tiers. With IMRA-approved Exact Path, teachers and leaders gain TEKS-aligned, adaptive assessment and scaffolded instruction that meets every student where they are—strengthening number sense, place value understanding, and operations fluency while accelerating academic achievement for all learners.
Research-Driven Results
- A study in Mathis, TX found that students in grades 3–8 made measurable math gains with Exact Path, showing impact across a diverse learner population, including multilingual learners and students receiving special education services.
- The Exact Path diagnostic assessment is strongly correlated with STAAR outcomes, meaning students’ diagnostic scores closely predict their STAAR performance across grades and math domains.
- In a recent study in Florida, K–10 students using Exact Path achieved double-digit percentile gains in early math.
- In Virginia (Grades 3–8), Exact Path usage resulted in measurable math gains of 0.30-0.45 standard deviations, with stronger effects for multilingual learners and students with IEPs.
