TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS.2.1.D — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

TA.K.1.C
identify algorithms (step-by-step instructions) using a sequential process such as first, next, then, and last.
TA.1.1.C
create a simple algorithm (step-by-step instructions) for an everyday task.
TA.2.1.D
create and troubleshoot simple algorithms (step-by-step instructions) that include conditionals such as if-then statements as they apply to an everyday task.
TA.3.1.D
debug simple algorithms (set of procedures) by identifying and removing errors.
TA.4.1.D
debug algorithms (set of procedures) by identifying and removing errors.
TA.5.1.D
compare multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which algorithm is the most appropriate for that task.
TA.6.1.E
analyze different techniques used in debugging and apply them to an algorithm; and
TA.7.1.E
analyze different techniques used in debugging and apply them to an algorithm; and
TA.8.1.E
develop, compare, and improve algorithms for a specific task to solve a problem; and
Next grade

TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS.2.1.D — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to
create simple algorithms (step-by-step instructions) that include conditionals such as if-then statements as they apply to an everyday task
troubleshoot simple algorithms (step-by-step instructions) that include conditionals such as if-then statements as they apply to an everyday task

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the technology applications TEKS and other subject areas. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.

Science

Science.2.1.B use scientific practices to plan and conduct simple descriptive investigations and use engineering practices to design solutions to problems

Math

Math.2.1.B  use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution

Social Studies

SS.2.17.B use problem-solving and decision-making processes to identify a problem, gather information, list and consider options, consider advantages and disadvantages, choose and implement a solution, and evaluate the effectiveness of the solution
