Mathematical Models with Applications

Overview of Mathematical Models with Applications

Overview of the purpose of the course and examples of models students can develop.

Mathematical Models with Applications Modules (Teacher and Student Materials)

Modules for Science and Engineering, Entrepreneurship, Fine Arts: Geometry, and Fine Arts: Music.

Clarifying Activities

Classroom activities for each TEKS statement from the mathematics TEKS.

Clarifying Lessons

Models of lessons that teachers can implement in their classroom. Clarifying Lessons combine multiple TEKS statements and may use several Clarifying Activities in one lesson. This set of Clarifying Lessons does not cover all of the grade-level or course TEKS. Clarifying Lessons answer the following questions:

  • How do I teach my student the knowledge and skills necessary to meet this set of related TEKS statements?
  • What does a lesson look like that addresses this set of related TEKS statements?
  • How can I assess student learning on this set of related TEKS statements?
  • How can this part of the TEKS be connected to other parts of the TEKS?

Mathematical Models with Applications Correlations to the TEKS (pdf 12kb)

This resource has NOT yet been updated to align with the revised secondary mathematics TEKS. These revised TEKS were adopted by the Texas State Board of Education in 2005, with full implementation scheduled for 2006–07. This resource aligns with the original TEKS that were adopted in 1998 and should be used as a starting point only.
