Who is this Texas Algebra 1 curriculum for? The TEKS-aligned Math Beach Texas Algebra 1 curriculum is designed for Texas teachers searching for lessons and activities specifically created to help students master the Algebra 1 TEKS and prepare for the STAAR Algebra 1 EOC exam. When I created this curriculum, I sat down with a copy of the TEKS and studied them in-depth (again!) before bundling the TEKS into units and creating lessons. I also ensured that students will have repeated opportunities to interact with the readiness TEKS in ways that will prepare them for their end-of-course Algebra 1 exam. Take the stress and hassle of trying to find standards-aligned lessons with the included TEKS-alignment guides. Each unit comes with a TEKS-alignment guide and learning objectives for each lesson. What topics are included? Unit 1 Linear Equations and Inequalities Unit 2 Function Fundamentals Unit 3 Graphing Linear Functions Unit 4 Formulating Linear Functions Unit 5 Two-Variable Linear Inequalities Unit 6 Systems of Linear Equations Unit 7 Exponents, Radicals, and Factoring Unit 8 Quadratic Functions Unit 9 Quadratic Equations Unit 10 Exponential Functions Unit 11 Texas Algebra 1 Review Unit Lessons include a lesson notes handout, practice a and practice b, an exit ticket, and a next-day warm-up. Concept Organizers offer complimentary alternatives for note-taking or post-lesson concept reinforcement. The Mid-Unit Review (Forms A and B) provide an opportunity for students to practice the concepts they learned in the first part of the unit. The Mid-Unit Assessment (Forms A and B) may be used as a test, quiz, or daily assignment to meet the specific needs of your students. Editable versions of Forms A and B are included as a .docx file for MS Word. The Unit Review (Forms A and B) helps students focus on the key concepts studied throughout the unit. The Unit Test (Forms A, B, and C) comes in two comparable multiple-choice forms (A and B) and one free-response form (C). The test key includes TEKS alignment for each question to facilitate easy data analysis. Editable versions of Forms A, B, and C are included as a .docx file for MS Word. Lesson Structure The Lesson Notes are designed for use as a note-taking guide combined with guided practice. Practice A and Practice B are suitable for use as in-class practice and homework. Two comparable forms are included for increased versatility. The Exit Ticket is designed for a quick concept check at the end of the class period. The Warm-Up is designed for next-day use to reinforce the previous day’s learning. One-page display versions of the exit ticket and warm-up are included. Display the PDF page on a screen for student viewing and have students record their responses on notebook paper or scratch paper to save on printing.
