Appendix on Implementing District Standards

The following TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) will be addressed in this unit:

• Math readiness standards
  • (1) Mathematical process standards. The student uses mathematical processes to acquire and demonstrate mathematical understanding. The student is expected to:
    • (A) apply mathematics to problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace
    • (D) communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language as appropriate;
    • (E) create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas;
    • (G) display, explain, and justify mathematical ideas and arguments using precise mathematical language in written or oral communication.
  • Mathematical models with applications
    • (9) Mathematical modeling in social sciences. The student applies mathematical processes and mathematical models to analyze data as it applies to social sciences. The student is expected to:
      • (A) interpret information from various graphs, including line graphs, bar graphs, circle graphs, histograms, scatterplots, dot plots, stem-and-leaf plots, and box and whisker plots, to draw conclusions from the data and determine the strengths and weaknesses of conclusions;
      • (B) analyze numerical data using measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) and variability (range, interquartile range or IQR, and standard deviation) in order to make inferences with normal distributions;
      • (E) analyze marketing claims based on graphs and statistics from electronic and print media and justify the validity of stated or implied conclusions
