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.
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.
