Pilot Algebra II
In this course, students will build understanding of the following modules: Exploring Patterns in Linear and Quadratic Relationships, Analyzing Structure, Developing Structural Similarities, Extending Beyond Polynomials, and Inverting Functions.
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.
Generate Ideas and Questions
You will learn strategies to help you generate questions and ideas about a topic.
Linguistic Roots and Affixes (English 8 Reading)
You will be able to recognize linguistic roots and affixes to use in determining the meanings of academic English words and in other content areas.
Cognates (English I Reading)
You will use your knowledge of cognates from other languages to help you understand unfamiliar words.
Synthesize Ideas and Details in Several Texts (English I Reading)
You will learn how to synthesize ideas and details in texts and support the connections with textual evidence.
Annotate for Meaning (English I Reading)
You will learn how to annotate or mark a text as you read and re-read to gain a deeper understanding of the text.
Annotate and Analyze a Paired Passage: Practice 1 (English I Reading)
You will read and annotate paired texts in order to make inferences, draw conclusions, and synthesize ideas and details using textual evidence.
Conservation of Momentum
This resource was created to support TEKS IPC(4)(E).
Transformations of Absolute Value Functions
Given an absolute value function, the student will analyze the effect on the graph when f(x) is replaced by af(x), f(bx), f(x – c), and f(x) + d for specific positive and negative real values.
Absolute Value Inequalities
This activity provides an opportunity for students to examine how to find solutions to an absolute value inequality.
Formulating and Solving Square Root Equations
This activity provides an opportunity for students to use a square root equation to model a situation and then use the model to make predictions.
Gravitational Force
This resource provides flexible alternate or additional learning activities for students learning about the gravitational attraction between objects of different masses at different distances. IPC TEKS (4)(F)
Objects in Motion
This resource provides flexible alternate or additional learning activities for students learning about the concepts of distance, speed, and acceleration. IPC TEKS (4)(A)
Domain and Range: Graphs
Given a function in graph form, identify the domain and range using set notation, interval notation, or a verbal description as appropriate.
Domain and Range: Function Notation
Given a function in function notation form, identify the domain and range using set notation, interval notation, or a verbal description as appropriate.
Domain and Range: Verbal Description
The student will be able to identify and determine reasonable values for the domain and range from any given verbal description.
Domain and Range: Contextual Situations
The student will be able to identify and determine reasonable values for the domain and range from any given contextual situation.
Modeling Data with Linear Functions
Given a scatterplot where a linear function is the best fit, the student will interpret the slope and intercepts, determine an equation using two data points, identify the conditions under which the function is valid, and use the linear model to predict data points.
Formulating Systems of Inequalities
Given a contextual situation, the student will formulate a system of two linear inequalities with two unknowns to model the situation.
Solving Systems of Equations Using Substitution
Given a system of two equations where at least one of the equations is linear, the student will solve the system using the algebraic method of substitution.
