TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS.8.1.C — 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.6.1.C

define abstraction and distinguish between generalized information and specific information in the context of solving a problem or completing a task;

TA.7.1.C

identify abstraction and analyze how an algorithm the student created can be generalized to solve additional problems;

TA.8.1.C

practice abstraction by developing a generalized algorithm that can solve different types of problems;

TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS.8.1.C — 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

practice abstraction by developing a generalized algorithm that can solve different types of problems

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.
