use print or digital resources to determine meaning, syllabication, and pronunciation;

Economics. The student understands the characteristics and benefits of the free enterprise system in Texas. The student is expected to:

explain how the relationship between Christianity and Humanism that began with the Renaissance influenced subsequent political developments; and

Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to understand, recognize, and quantify volume. The student is expected to:

use context within and beyond a sentence to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words and multiple-meaning words;

describe the development of the free enterprise system in Texas;

describe how the free enterprise system works, including supply and demand; and

explain how geopolitical and religious influences have impacted law and government in the Muslim world.

recognize a cube with side length of one unit as a unit cube having one cubic unit of volume and the volume of a three-dimensional figure as the number of unit cubes ($n$ cubic units) needed to fill it with no gaps or overlaps if possible; and

identify the meaning of and use words with affixes such as im- (into), non-, dis-, in- (not, non), pre-, -ness, -y, and -ful; and

identify, use, and explain the meaning of antonyms, synonyms, idioms, homophones, and homographs in a text.

Economics. The student understands patterns of work and economic activities in Texas. The student is expected to:

analyze examples of how art, architecture, literature, music, and drama reflect the history of the cultures in which they are produced; and

Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to select appropriate units, strategies, and tools to solve problems involving measurement. The student is expected to solve problems by calculating conversions within a measurement system, customary or metric.

explain how people in different regions of Texas earn their living, past and present, through a subsistence economy and providing goods and services;

describe examples of art, music, and literature that transcend the cultures in which they were created and convey universal themes.

describe the key attributes of the coordinate plane, including perpendicular number lines (axes) where the intersection (origin) of the two lines coincides with zero on each number line and the given point (0, 0); the \(x\)-coordinate, the first number in an ordered pair, indicates movement parallel to the \(x\)-axis starting at the origin; and the \(y\)-coordinate, the second number, indicates movement parallel to the \(y\)-axis starting at the origin;

Comprehension skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts. The student uses metacognitive skills to both develop and deepen comprehension of increasingly complex texts. The student is expected to:

explain how geographic factors such as climate, transportation, and natural resources have influenced the location of economic activities in Texas;

Science, technology, and society. The student understands how major scientific and mathematical discoveries and technological innovations affected societies prior to 1750. The student is expected to:

identify the origin and diffusion of major ideas in mathematics, science, and technology that occurred in river valley civilizations, classical Greece and Rome, classical India, the Islamic caliphates between 700 and 1200, and China from the Tang to Ming dynasties;

describe the process for graphing ordered pairs of numbers in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane; and
