The connections listed in the first table (Direct TEKS Connections) are
Mathematics student expectations that directly mention the use of technology (or related
terminology). Other resources for teaching Mathematics can be found at the Mathematics Center for Educator Development.  |
| Direct TEKS Connections |
The introduction
to the Mathematics TEKS states that students are to use mathematical "processes
together with technology ... to develop conceptual understanding and to solve problems as
they do mathematics." |

Many connections are possible that use technology to teach Mathematics. We
encourage teachers to move beyond the direct mention of technology to make their own
connections. The following table (Indirect TEKS Connection) illustrates one Mathematics
student expectation that does not specifically mention technology but is easily
accomplished with technology. Many others are possible. |
