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

Calculators We are using the TI-84 Plus calculator in class. Students will use this calculator on the Math 8 and Algebra 1 STAAR test It is not necessary to purchase one. Students will be able to use this calculator in high school and college.
Students may use a calculator on homework, quizzes, and test. Casio fx-300 ms is a good calculator for home use. Cost about $10.
