45-45-90 Triangles
To learn the pattern of the side lengths of a 45-45-90 triangle, students complete a gallery walk, a card sort activity starting with using the Pythagorean theorem, and activity to locate if there is an error in a presented problem and if so to identify what the error is.
Geometry
In this course, students will build understanding of the following modules: Reasoning with Shapes, Establishing Congruence, Investigating Proportionality, Connecting Geometric and Algebraic Descriptions, and Making Informed Decisions.
Each module is broken up into topics where you will find teacher materials to guide the instruction and the student materials both used in the classroom for learning together and learning individually.
The agency developed these learning resources as a contingency option for school districts during COVID. All resources are optional. Prior to publication, materials go through a rigorous third-party review. Review criteria include TEKS alignment, support for all learners, progress monitoring, implementation supports, and more. Products also are subject to a focus group of Texas educators.
6 Chapter 3: Kinematics
In this chapter, we analyze the motion of constantly accelerated objects over time in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
7 Chapter 9: Hypothesis Testing
In this chapter, students will learn how to perform a hypothesis test and interpret its results.
3 Chapter 1: Exploring Data
In this chapter, we introduce statistics, how it is used, and the types of data we come across in real life.
4 Chapter 7: Sampling Distributions
In this chapter, students will describe and model variability using population and sampling distributions.
7 Chapter 8: Confidence Intervals
In this chapter, students will learn how to construct and interpret a confidence interval for a population mean and a population proportion.
5 Chapter 10: Comparing Two Groups
In this chapter, students interpret confidence intervals and the results of hypothesis tests for the difference between two means and the difference between two proportions.
5 Chapter 3: Representing Categorical Data
In this chapter, we explore the different ways to display categorical data and draw conclusions based on the representations.
8 Chapter 2: Data Collection, Sampling, and Experimental Design
In this chapter, we explore various methods of data collection and potential problems that may occur when collecting data.
9 Chapter 6: Probability
In this chapter, students explore probability and random variables.
5 Chapter 6: Waves
In this chapter, we explore the mathematical concept of a wave and show how this concept can be used to accurately describe and predict many natural phenomena.
3 Chapter 7: Static Electricity
In this chapter, we explore how electrically charged particles interact through electrostatic forces and fields.
6 Chapter 4: Representing Quantitative Data
In this chapter, we explore different ways to display quantitative data, and draw conclusions based on the representations.
7 Chapter 11: Exploring Bivariate Data
In this chapter, students explore the relationship between two quantitative variables. Students will analyze scatterplots for strength, direction, and form; interpret the correlation coefficient; determine the line of best fit using least-squares regression; use the line of best fit to make predictions for a value of y given a value of x; interpret the slope and the y-intercept; learn about alternative methods of finding the line of best fit, including the median-median line and the absolute value line; and identify outliers and influential points and their effects on the regression line and correlation coefficient.
6 Chapter 5: Measuring Center and Spread
In this chapter, students will learn multiple measures for center and spread, and will be introduced to the normal distribution and the empirical rule.
3 Chapter 1: Nature of Science and Scientific Ethics
In this chapter, we explore the nature of science itself, including its practice, ethics, and impact.
5 Chapter 2: Tools of Physics
In this chapter, we discuss several ideas and tools that will be helpful in our introductory study of physics.
5 Chapter 4: Newton's Laws and Momentum
In this chapter, we introduce Newton's laws, and then explore the concepts of momentum and conservation of momentum.
7 Chapter 5: Conservation of Energy and Gravitation
In this chapter, we explore a formulation of classical physics in the context of energy rather than force, and we explore the concept of gravitation in more universally applicable detail.
