Content update: New TEKS-aligned 3rd and 4th Grade Math courses on Khan Academy

We’re excited to announce two brand-new math courses—3rd Grade Math (TX-TEKS) and 4th Grade Math (TX-TEKS), built from the ground up to reflect the latest Texas standards. These courses make math meaningful, accessible, and engaging for students, while giving teachers flexible, TEKS-aligned tools they can trust.

3rd Grade Math (TX-TEKS): Big skills, real-life connections

Math that matters to kids
This course connects classroom math to things third graders care about: like planning a birthday party or saving up for a toy. Whether they’re multiplying to figure out party favors or budgeting their allowance, students build math fluency through real-life scenarios that keep them engaged and curious.

Mastering the foundations
Aligned to the updated TEKS, the course covers all major 3rd grade topics: multiplication, division, place value, fractions, area, and more. These lessons lay the groundwork for future success, helping students build confidence now so they’re ready for what’s ahead.

Visuals and step-by-step support
Colorful models and diagrams make tough concepts like area or fractions easier to understand. Step-by-step hints break problems into manageable parts, so students always have support when they need it, and teachers get clearer insights into where students may need more help.

Built for flexible instruction
With videos, practice exercises, and explanatory articles in every unit, this course supports whole-class instruction, small groups, or independent learning. Need a student to review multiplication with arrays? Assign a reteach video and a visual model to reinforce the concept, while others move ahead with word problems.

4th Grade Math (TX-TEKS): Practical math, powerful thinking

Everyday math students can use
Our 4th grade course helps students apply math to their daily lives: estimating grocery totals, splitting chores fairly, or understanding money through place value. These real-world contexts make math more than just numbers; they make it meaningful.

A complete toolkit for 4th grade and beyond
Aligned with TEKS, the course builds essential skills in operations, decimals, fractions, and multi-step problem solving. Whether students are baking with fractions or budgeting their allowance, they’ll gain lasting skills for both school and life.

Learn it your way
This course meets students where they are, whether they prefer watching videos, reading articles, or diving into hands-on practice. Need help dividing using an area model? Want to walk through a word problem step-by-step on a number line? It’s all here, tailored to different learning styles.

Designed with teachers in mind
Each unit aligns directly with TEKS objectives, with lessons that go beyond drills to build deep conceptual understanding. Visual models, scaffolded hints, and flexible content formats make it easy to adapt instruction for whole groups, small-group reteach, or independent work: without sacrificing rigor.

Whether you’re teaching 3rd or 4th grade, these new TEKS-aligned math courses offer everything you need to support students in mastering key concepts, building confidence, and seeing
