Curriculum Connections for Mathematics 


Instructions: Use the dropdown menu to find specific courses 

The connections listed in the table below are Mathematics student expectations that directly mention the use of technology (or related terminology). Independent Study In Mathematics, Advanced Placement Statistics, Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus AB, Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus BC, IB Mathematical Studies Subsidiary Level, IB Mathematical Methods Subsidiary Level, IB Mathematics Higher Level, IB Advanced Mathematics Subsidiary Level, and Concurrent Enrollment In College Courses do not have any direct connections. Other resources for teaching Mathematics can be found at the Mathematics Center for Educator Development. off site

Algebra I

Direct TEKS Connections
Student Expectations
a(5) Tools for algebraic thinking. Techniques for working with functions and equations are essential in understanding underlying relationships. Students use a variety of representations (concrete, numerical, algorithmic, graphical), tools, and technology, including, but not limited to, powerful and accessible hand-held calculators and computers with graphing capabilities and model mathematical situations to solve meaningful problems  

Algebra II

Direct TEKS Connections
Student Expectations
a(5) Tools for algebraic thinking. Techniques for working with functions and equations are essential in understanding underlying relationships. Students use a variety of representations (concrete, numerical, algorithmic, graphical), tools, and technology, including, but not limited to, powerful and accessible hand-held calculators and computers with graphing capabilities and model mathematical situations to solve meaningful problems  

Geometry

Direct TEKS Connections
Student Expectations
a(5) Tools for geometric thinking. Techniques for working with spatial figures and their properties are essential in understanding underlying relationships. Students use a variety of representations (concrete, pictorial, algebraic, and coordinate), tools, and technology, including, but not limited to, powerful and accessible hand-held calculators and computers with graphing capabilities to solve meaningful problems by representing figures, transforming figures, analyzing relationships, and proving things about them  

Pre-calculus

Direct TEKS Connections
Student Expectations
b(1) Students use a variety of representations (concrete, numerical, algorithmic, graphical), tools, and technology to model functions and equations and solve real-life problems  

Mathematical Models with Applications

Direct TEKS Connections
Student Expectations
b(1) Students use a variety of representations (concrete, numerical, algorithmic, graphical), tools, and technology to link modeling techniques and purely mathematical concepts and to solve applied problems  
c(8)(A) use geometric models available through technology to model growth and decay in areas such as population, biology, and ecology
c(8)(B) use trigonometric ratios and functions available through technology to calculate distances and model periodic motion
