Precalculus with Trigonometryprepares students for calculus by using methods emphasizing technology, cooperative learning, real-world applications, and student discovery to instill the concept that variables really vary. Students use the law of cosines to model the position of an orbiting satellite, rather than simply to analyze a fixed triangle. They fit functions to data, returning to recurring themes such as outer space, sports, music, aviation, automobiles, and finance as their mathematical maturity develops.
Maths - Grade 7 In this unit, of Connected Mathematics, students are developing skills in areas that are traditionally known as algebra. This unit introduces them to situations that can be modeled with linear functions and graphed with straight lines.
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.”
This book presents a large-scale corpus-driven study of progressives in 'real' English and 'school' English, combining an analysis of general linguistic interest with a pedagogically motivated one. A systematic comparative analysis of more than 10,000 progressive forms taken from the largest existing corpora of spoken British English and from a small corpus of EFL textbook texts highlights numerous differences between actual language use and textbook language concerning the distribution of progressives, their preferred contexts, favoured functions, and typical lexical-grammatical patterns.
