8 th Grade Math Team 8-2 Math 8 51 state standards (TEKS); 141 days until STAAR Example of 8 th Grade TEKS: The student applies mathematical process standards to use proportional and non- proportional relationships to develop foundational concepts of functions. The student is expected to represent linear proportional situations with tables, graphs, and equations in the form of y=kx.

Algebra Team 8-2 Algebra 1 41 State Standards (TEKS) plus 8 th grade TEKS High School Elective credit EOC counts towards graduation EOC 1 st week of May Example of Algebra 1 TEKS:  Linear functions. The student understands the meaning of the slope and intercepts of the graphs of linear functions and zeros of linear functions and interprets and describes the effects of changes in parameters of linear functions in real-world and mathematical situations. The student is expected to develop the concept of slope as rate of change and determine slopes from graphs, tables, and algebraic representations
