Course on algebra for students from grades 8 to 10. Discovering Algebra will help you reach more of your students with meaningful activities that help them connect abstract mathematical concepts to concrete experiences.
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.”
Algebra 1 (Applications, Equations, Graphs) brings math to life with many real-life applications. The cover illustrates some of the applications used in this book. Examples of mathematics in baseball, space exploration, mountain climbing, and graphic design are shown. Circling the globe are three key aspects of Algebra 1 - the equations, graphs, and applications that students will use in this course to help them understand how mathematics relates to the world.
