16
17 SECTION 1. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified
17
18 in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1210.900 of Title 70, unless
18
19 there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
19
20 A. Sections 1 through 8 of this act shall be known and may be
20
21 cited as the "Oklahoma Math Achievement and Proficiency Act".
21
22 B. The Legislature finds that it is essential for children
22
23 enrolled in the public schools in this state to develop strong
23
24 mathematical skills early and consistently. The Legislature further
24
Req. No. 193 Page 3
1 finds that clear and visible goals, assessments to determine math
1
2 proficiency at each school, the use of scientifically based and
2
3 researched methodologies in math instruction, along with regular and
3
4 periodic measurements of school math improvement, and accountability
4
5 at each level of the educational system will result in a significant
5
6 increase in the number of children performing at or above grade
6
7 level in mathematics.
7
8 C. The purpose of the Oklahoma Math Achievement and Proficiency
8
9 Act is to ensure that student achievement in math is encouraged and
9
10 progression from one grade to another is determined, in part, upon
10
11 proficiency in mathematics, that school district board of education
11
12 policies facilitate promotion of advanced math instruction and
12
13 intervention services to address student math needs, and that each
13
14 student and his or her parent or legal guardian be informed of the
14
15 student's progress in mathematics.
15
16 D. Each public school district in this state shall ensure that
16
17 all students receive a well-rounded education focused on building
17
18 deep foundations in mathematics, reading, and writing. The State
18
19 Board of Education shall encourage school districts to integrate the
19
20 teaching of the other curricular areas in subject matter standards
20
21 adopted by the Board with the instruction of mathematics, reading,
21
22 and writing.
22
23 E. All teachers of mathematics in the public schools in this
23
24 state shall incorporate into instruction the foundational elements
24
Req. No. 193 Page 4
1 of math instruction, which include number sense, mathematical
1
2 reasoning, problem solving, one-to-one correspondence, and fluency
2
3 in basic math operations.

4 SECTION 2. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified
4
5 in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1210.901 of Title 70, unless
5
6 there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
6
7 A. To identify students who have a math deficiency including
7
8 students with characteristics of dyscalculia, each student enrolled
8
9 in fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grade in a public school in
9
10 this state shall be screened at the beginning, middle, and end of
10
11 each school year for math skills including, but not limited to,
11
12 number sense, counting, operations, and mathematical reasoning. A
12
13 screening instrument approved by the State Board of Education shall
13
14 be utilized for the purposes of this section. In determining which
14
15 screening instrument to approve, the State Board of Education shall
15
16 take into consideration, at a minimum, the following factors:
16
17 1. The time required to conduct the screening instrument with
17
18 the intention of minimizing the impact on instructional time;
18
19 2. The timeliness in reporting screening instrument results to
19
20 teachers, administrators, and parents or legal guardians of
20
21 students; and
21
22 3. The integration of the screening instrument into the math
22
23 curriculum.
23
24
24
Req. No. 193 Page 5
1 B. Beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, the State Board of
1
2 Education shall approve no fewer than three screening instruments
2
3 for use at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year for
3
4 monitoring progress and measurement of math skills as required in
4
5 subsection A of this section. The screening instrument shall:
5
6 1. Assess number sense, mathematical reasoning, counting, and
6
7 fluency in basic operations;
7
8 2. Document the validity and reliability of each assessment;
8
9 3. Be used for identifying students who are at risk for math
9
10 deficiencies and for progress monitoring throughout the school year;
10
11 4. Be used to assess students with disabilities and English
11
12 language learners; and
12
13 5. Be accompanied by a data management system that provides
13
14 profiles of students, class, grade level, and school building. The
14
15 profiles shall identify each student's instructional point of need,
15
16 competency for advanced math coursework, and math proficiency level.
16
17 The State Board of Education shall also determine other comparable
17
18 math assessments for diagnostic purposes to be used for students at
18
19 risk of math failure.

9
10 districts may be allocated monies for each enrolled fourth-, fifth-,
10
11 sixth-, and seventh-grade student of the current school year who is
11
12 found to be in need of remediation or intensive intervention
12
13 services in mathematics. The allocation shall be distributed to
13
14 each public school district upon approval of the strong math plan
14
15 for the school district by the State Board of Education and the
15
16 submittal of a child-count report to the State Department of
16
17 Education that details the number of students identified as needing
17
18 remediation or intensive intervention services in mathematics. To
18
19 determine a per-student allocation amount, the total amount of funds
19
20 available for allocation each year shall be divided by the total
20
21 number of students in the state identified as in need of remediation
21
22 or intensive intervention services in mathematics as provided for in

11 fluency; implementing math strategies that research has shown to be
11
12 successful in improving math skills among students with math
12
13 difficulties; courses leading to a micro-credential in mathematics;
13
14 and instructional materials required for implementation.
14
15 C. The State Department of Education shall approve and publish
15
16 a list of professional development programs that are evidence-based
16
17 and directly address the cognitive science of how students learn
17
18 mathematics for which districts are permitted to use the funds
18
19 received pursuant to this section.
19
20 D. If a teacher attends and completes a professional
20
21 development institute in elementary math approved by the Commission

14
15 in mathematics.
15
16 B. If a teacher determines that a student in fourth, fifth,
16
17 sixth, or seventh grade is not performing at grade level in
17
18 mathematics by the start of the second quarter of the school year,
18
19 the parent or legal guardian of the student shall be notified of:
