Identify structures of plants: roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits.
Teachers can use K.13A to sequence instruction on Plant structures and monitor progress toward mastery.
TEKS K.13A provides a clear foundation for continued study of Plant structures in future grades.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to K.13A.
Standard K.13A describes the essential skills and understandings for Plant structures in Grade K. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Plant structures, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to K.13A.
