Seven problem-solving techniques include inference, classification of action sequences, subgoals, contradiction, working backward, relations between problems, and mathematical representation.
The content of Algebra 2 (Texas Edition) is organized around families of functions, including linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, radical, and rational functions. As students study each family of functions, they will learn to represent them in multiple ways – as verbal descriptions, equations, tables, and graphs. They will also learn to model real-world situations using functions in order to solve problems arising from those situations.
Algebra 2 (Texas Edition) provides thorough coverage of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Algebra 2. TEKS references appear at the beginning of each lesson and activity, and a full-page “Mixed Review for TEKS” appears twice each chapter. In addition, Algebra 2 helps students prepare for the Grade 11 Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). Each lesson includes exercises called “TAKS Reasoning” and “TAKS Practice,” and each chapter concludes with four pages of “TAKS Preparation” and “TAKS Practice.”
Math Connects is intended for use in all elementary math classes as a balanced basal approach to teaching mathematics. Math Connects is the elementary portion of the vertically aligned PreK to 8 Math Connects program. This program is designed to excite students about learning mathematics while at the same time providing teachers with all the tools and materials they will need to teach the program. Students will be motivated as they solve real-world problems such as creatures under the sea, emperors of the ice, and roller coaster physics.
Gives many instructive examples of statistical techniques applied to language data, provides exercises at the end of each chapter, and has a clear glossary. This book is essential for learning statistical analysis of texts. Most importantly, Oakes's is the only current corpus-linguistic book that devotes such a large portion of its pages to stylistics! ...
In Geometry, students will develop reasoning and problem solving skills as they study topics such as congruence and similarity, and apply properties of lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles. They will also develop problem-solving skills by using length, perimeter, area, circumference, surface area, and volume to solve real-world problems. ......
