What is the correct format for numbering and lettering a knowledge and skills statement in TEKS?

The proper format for numbering and lettering a knowledge and skills statement in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) framework is indeed structured as 3.1 A. In this format, the first number refers to the grade level, the second number indicates the specific knowledge and skills statement within that grade level, and the letter designates a specific performance expectation within that statement.

This structure maintains a clear hierarchy that helps educators and students identify specific standards within the broader framework of the TEKS. The first part (3.1) indicates that the content is aligned with grade 3 and the first knowledge or skill statement for that grade, while the letter (A) helps categorize particular expectations tied to that statement.

The other formats presented do not align with TEKS conventional structuring. For instance, options utilizing just numbers sequentially or various letter placements do not conform to the officially adopted formatting standards set forth by the TEKS framework.
