53 reviews for TEKSas Target Practice™

  1. huberce

    This has been such a game changer for my students. They love the format and I love that they are getting a quality spiral of all the TEKS every two weeks! It has also given a lot of my students confidence because when we get to some tricky concepts through out the year they have already been exposed to the skill and excel! I can’t say enough about how this product has made such an impact in my students!

  2. Melissa Alexander

    Love how we can practice ALL the third grade math skills in two weeks! Kids gain confidence on the third grade skills through the repeated practice.

  3. Northside ISD Elementary School Teacher

    Our campus loves this amazing product! Our students starting in 1st grade are able complete this recursive review and benefit from the pre-teach TEKS that they are exposed to early on. Our STAAR students show amazing progress along with the ability to retain the information since they are reviewing the TEKS all year long. We at Franklin ES love our digital recursive review licenses. Our results speak to how much they benefit all students with the consistency and review of all TEKS.

  4. Claude ISD

    Our school has greatly benefited from using TEKSas Target Practice in our 1-6 grade classrooms. We use it daily and it provides us a great spiral review. It also allows our teachers to pre-teach concepts that they have not made it to yet, and review to all degrees the content they have already been teaching! We love Target Math at Claude Elementary.

  5. Sharon Wood, Shamrock

    I absolutely love TEKSas Target Practice! I have been using versions of it with my students since 1997 and I know it has made a difference in their overall mathematical understanding. Teachers have told me that my former students have a stronger analytic foundation and I am convinced it’s because of our Target Practice! Thank you for such an outstanding, wonderful educational tool! Since this was the first time they took the STAAR test, I am comparing the first benchmark scores in 10/17 to the actual STAAR results in 5/18. In October I had 10 students pass at the “approaches” level and on the real STAAR test I had 26 pass at “approaches” or above. Awesome improvement, I am sure from TEKSas Target Practice! We climbed from 31% passing to 81% passing!!! Thank you, thank you! I am looking forward to all the new things you guys will be offering in the future!

  6. Klein ISD

    The spiral review has helped my 4th graders “pre-learn” skills they would not have come to in the curriculum so that by the time we came to the skills in our district’s curriculum, my students had already mastered them! This left us time to go deeper into the learning.

  7. Shayla Shiller Kennard

    Our student’s test scores have been impacted in a big way through the TEKSas Target Practice! District assessments have shown 20-30% average growth and we are projected to have some of the highest scores in the district on end-of year assessments. For a low-socioeconomic campus with struggling learners this has boosted our student’s confidence in themselves in a TREMENDOUS way. The student’s are excited to learn and show us how capable they are. This is a program we will continue to use for years to come!

  8. Ms. Ramirez, Patton Springs ISD

    Our school has used Lone Star Learning for over 15 years and we have had 100% passing rate on the state assessment every year. Lone Star Learning is an awesome resource. We tell our students it is a preview which later becomes a review. They love that saying.

  9. Instructional Coach

    The Digital Teksas Target Practice resource has impacted our student scores in the area of math fluency where students have been able to sustain the mental Math because of their daily math practice using Teksas Target Practice. We also notice how students have become a lot more knowledgeable in the different categories of the Math State standards using this resource as the daily Calendar Math warm-up.

  10. Marci Petter, Temple ISD

    Texas Target Practice has helped our students do well on all exams. The spiral review is great for the continuous review of low TEKS as well as TEKS that are taught early in the year and perhaps not reviewed again. The level of thinking involved helps students with problem solving skills, too!

  11. Angleton ISD, Westside Elementary

    We have used TEKSas Target Practice for years at our school. Last year we received all six distinctions from the state of Texas, and we directly attribute much of that success to Lonestar. We remain consistent in grade levels K-5 in using the program, and our kids each year are exposed to your digital learning for reading, math, and now science. We love our Lonestar here at Westside!

  12. Megan Richard, East Chambers ISD 3rd grade teacher

    TEKSas Target Practice has been a game changer for our math scores. We have had the paper version for the past 3 years. This year we purchased the electronic version and it has been even easier to implement. We have implemented TEKSas Target Practice as morning work. Students automatically know their expectations when they walk in the classroom. When we introduce a new topic our students already have a baseline of information because they have seen something like it on TEKSas Target Practice. We have used the TEKSas Target Practice program in 3rd faithfully and our scores have improved drastically.
    2013-2014 (no TEKasS Target Practice) 69%
    2014-2015 (Math Scores did not count)
    2015-2016 (1st year of TEKSas Target Practice) 70%
    2016-2017 (2nd year of TEKSas Target Practice) 88%
    2017-2018 (3rd year of TEKSas Target Practice) 89%
    We LOVE TEKS Target Practice!!!

  13. 5th grade Math Teacher

    I have never taught 5th grade without it! I purchased for myself when I moved to a new campus because I did not want to do without! My campus purchased it for the team the next year after my scores came back so high. My scores have consistently been in the high 90s and some years, even 100% and I feel the high level of rigor from Lone Star definitely contributed!

  14. Megan Richards, Temple ISD 3rd grade

    TEKSas Target practice has helped my students with spiraling back TEKS that we still are not mastering. I love the Question a Day because it teaches them and helps them look at what the question is asking and to only look for what they need. This is hard for students to do because they want to use all the numbers.

  15. Rains Elementary, 2nd grade teacher

    I have been using TEKSas Target Practice for years. I started using the program before there was a digit version. I loved it then, and now that I’ve been using the digital program for several years I love it even more. My students love to practice skills we’ve already covered as well as learn new concepts. The spiral review the program provides has increased my student’s performance on end of the year mastery tests tremendously. TEKSas Target Practice is the one thing that I purchase with my classroom money every year. This program is one of the best I have ever used and it is the only program that I purchase annually.

  16. Instructional Coach

    TEKS Practice is a favorite with teachers at my campus. As a spiral review of all TEKS, this product can’t be beat! My teachers particularly enjoy the ease of use of the digital product. It allows each teacher to customize how it can best utilized in their classroom. We have seen a dramatic increase in STAAR Math scores over the past two years. Much of this increase can be directly linked to use of TEKSas Target Practice. Our students now have a deeper number sense than they have ever had. Thanks, Lonestar Learning! Keep up the good work with your product line.

  17. A teacher in Boerne, TX

    This resource was instrumental in helping our ELL’s and other struggling students.

  18. 4th grade Math teacher in Texas

    I have used the TEKSas Target Practice programs for the past few years. They were very beneficial as warm-ups and quick spiral reviews. My students benefited from the repeated review of the TEKS and it helped them to retain the skills. I am sure they scored higher on the STAAR tests due to these repeated reviews from TEKSas Target Practice.

  19. Elementary Math Specialist,

    We have just started using TEKSas Target Practice this year, and have not had a major assessment yet. However, the 5th grade students I am working with are able to take what they have already learned in 4th grade, and apply some of those skills to the 5th grade TEKS. They are feeling more confident in TEKS that are coming up in their homeroom classrooms as well because of the way TEKSas Target Practice is spiraling standards.

  20. Northside ISD K-5 teacher

    TEKSas Target Practice has helped our teachers preteach, review, and reteach TEKS to students K-5. We have seen great improvement in student understanding of previously difficult TEKS. TEKSas Target Practice is organized in an efficient and effective manner that is easy for student to use.

  21. Round Rock ISD, Robertson Elementary

    I have taught 3rd grade for the past three years, and it definitely made a huge difference for my students. I am currently teaching 5th grade and this was my number 1 tool to ask the principal for it. I like the fact that the kids can review the TEKS constantly and although, sometime we have not cover some of the content yet, it gives me an opportunity to preview and teach a mini lesson on it. “Title 1 school 92% Math last year 3rd Grade”

  22. Pasadena ISD Teacher

    I really enjoy that the program goes with the TEKS I’m teaching and is easy to use.

  23. Midland ISD, 6th grade math teacher

    The spiraling aspect and repetition, plus the versatility of the product are awesome.

  24. 2nd grade TEKSas Target Practice user in Judson ISD

    I love the different TEKS covered in the different questions and how they rotate each day. We started this program late in the year, but overall, in class I notice a difference in my students and how they refer back to what they have done.

  25. Jessica Hanson, Azle ISD

    I teach K-4 math and this is a great spiral review!

  26. Amanda Sweeney, 4th grade

    Love the daily exposure to new concepts.

  27. Abilene ISD, Bassetti Elementary, 3rd grade teacher

    I like the consistent review and consistent format of the lessons. Once the format is understood then we can focus on the content and the children gain confidence that they really know the material. I hope you continue to update the content to reflect changes in the TEKS.

  28. Anna ISD, 2nd grade teacher

    This product is easy to use and a fantastic way to review concepts. We had a 12-20 point gain on math MAPS testing after implementing this.

  29. 2nd grade teacher in Corsicana, TX

    The digital takes up no wall space – yea!!

  30. Wichita Falls ISD, 3rd grade teacher

    I love that it covers all the TEKS in two weeks. I wish there was more space on the answer documents, especially when it is number lines.

  31. Ms. Edwards with Compass Academy

    It is quick and doesn’t take a lot of time to do, plus it spirals the TEKS. My first grade students are being constantly reviewed on the TEKS that they must master in math. Since it spirals, my class out performs the other first grade classes.

  32. Karen Cerrato, Mesquite 4th grade bilingual

    This product provides the opportunity to spiral through lessons and to feed forward on upcoming lessons. At the moment the Spanish vocabulary is not great, but I’m looking forward to this being fixed.

  33. Jessica Hanson, Azle ISD

    Great spiral review, TEKS coverage and digital program.

  34. Ector County ISD, 4th grade teacher

    Love the digitally interactive product, but wish it was available in a hands on student view.

  35. 4th grade math teacher, Henrie Elementary

    It’s quick and easy to spiral review. Grades went from 55% to 72%.

  36. Erika Adams, Terrell ISD

    I love to use this product to keep concepts fresh in my kids minds. After teaching half the year, I begin using this as warm-ups to help my kids remember what we have learned so far. It is also easy to use to teach some new concepts without the kids realizing they are learning something new. It blew my kids minds that they were doing algebra before we officially learned it in class! Our unit tests always include 2-3 review questions. My students, as an average, went up 31% in the “review” category of the test from the previous unit test.

  37. Ms. A Alcaraz

    It is an awesome spiral review for my students. It provides the opportunity to practice previously learned material and higher level thinking skills

  38. 3rd grade math teacher Stanton ISD

    It’s easy to use and it hits all our TEKS.

  39. Cindy Reed, FWISD

    TEKSas Target Practice for 5th grade covers all of the TEKS within 2 weeks. The verbs that are used, the models that are used, the repetition… I love it all!! We went from 70+% to 90+% and now I have the entire school using it :)

  40. Rachel Arbuckle

    This goes through ALL of the TEKS every 2 weeks!

  41. lbaker@stanton.esc18.net

    I love the higher level thinking skills required.

  42. Annette Alcaraz, 4th grade teacher

    Lone Star TEKS Target Practice is an awesome spiral review for my students. It provides the opportunity to practice previously learned material and also exposes them to new material.

  43. 3rd grade Math teacher in Stanton ISD

    It’s easy to use and it hits all our TEKS!

  44. 3rd grade Math teacher at Meridian ISD

    TEKSas Target Practice for 3rd grade is a great spiral review, covers TEKS, and is easy to use.

  45. Denton Classical Academy

    This product is TEKS aligned!

  46. Annette Alcaraz

    It is an awesome spiral review for my students. It provides the opportunity to practice previously learned material and also exposes them to new material.

  47. 3rd grade Math teacher at Meridian ISD

    Great Spiral review, covers TEKS, easy to use!

  48. Laura Johnson

    I love the spiraling in the program. It helped improve our test scores. I wish the answer documents were larger for 3rd graders.

  49. 2nd grade teacher in Rockwall ISD

    I love the spiral review!

  50. Bonita Langley

    I think TEKSas Target Practice helped increase our state math exam score by about 15%, this past school year. 2015-’16 I love the digital program, the format, answer key, and the printable worksheets. (4th grade Math teacher)

  51. Instructional Coach at Jones Academy

    I love the ability to practice all the TEKS and have access in digital form.

  52. 1st grade teacher at Dobbs Elementary

    It’s so easy to use!

  53. 1st grade Teacher at Rockwall ISD

    I love how it cycles the TEKS every two weeks, quick and easy yet rigorous.
