Utilize Strip Diagrams to Solve Multi-step Multiplication and Division Word Problems
Students will utilize manipulatives to create concrete and pictorial strip diagram representations in order to solve multi-step multiplication and division word problems.
Grade 7 Math
In this course, students will build understanding of the following modules: Thinking Proportionally, Applying Proportionality, Reasoning Algebraically, Analyzing Populations and Probabilities, and Constructing and Measuring.
Each module is broken up into topics where you will find teacher materials to guide the instruction and the student materials both used in the classroom for learning together and learning individually.
The agency developed these learning resources as a contingency option for school districts during COVID. All resources are optional. Prior to publication, materials go through a rigorous third-party review. Review criteria include TEKS alignment, support for all learners, progress monitoring, implementation supports, and more. Products also are subject to a focus group of Texas educators.
Roll With It
Students will experience a hands-on lesson regarding ratios. While doing this, students will deepen their understanding of the concepts of ratios.
Teacher during Introduction
Decoding Word Problems
This lesson focuses on multi-step word problems involving division along with addition or subtraction. The students chunk word problems into each individual step and learn how to choose a familiar strategy.
Motion Pictures
In this lesson, students will be introduced to the concept of motion representation using distance vs. time graphs. Students will recognize labeling of axes, steepness related to speed, horizontal lines as non-motion, and downward slope as return to origin.

Up, Up, and Away
Students will determine an appropriate tabular/graphic/formulaic linear solution given 3 sets of data points.
Distributive Property
Students break an array apart to represent the sum of two multiplication facts, showing the distributive property.
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) Related to the Unit
As we looked at the vertical alignment document available to teachers through the Texas Education Agency and regional TEKS resource pages, it became evident why students struggle with this standard. The skills and knowledge within this standard are not addressed in the second-grade TEKS. Students are also required to use multiple skills to correctly calculate the answer using the distributive property. The chosen standard is identified as a third-grade readiness standard, which means that the intent is to help students develop a deep understanding of how to effectively use these skills in mathematics. This deep understanding is desired to help students at the fourth-grade level since the standard is identified as a supporting standard.

DNA Sequencing
In this lesson, students will investigate how gene expression is a regulated process controlled by DNA and the interpretations of codons through translation.
Push Back, Pull Forward
Students will conduct an experiment to demonstrate force such as pushes and pulls.
Grade 6 Math Spanish
En este curso, los estudiantes desarrollarán la comprensión de los siguientes módulos: Componer y descomponer, Relacionar cantidades, Más allá de las cantidades positivas, Determinar cantidades desconocidas y Descripción de la variabilidad de las cantidades.
Cada módulo está compuesto de temas donde se encontrarán materiales para maestros para guiar la instrucción y materiales para el uso de los estudiantes en el aula para el aprendizaje en grupo e individual.
La agencia desarrolló estos recursos de aprendizaje como una opción de contingencia para los distritos escolares durante COVID. Todos los recursos son opcionales. Antes de su publicación, los materiales pasan por una rigorosa revisión por parte de terceros. Los criterios de la revisión incluyen la alineación con TEKS, el apoyo para todos los estudiantes, el monitoreo progresivo, el apoyo en la implementación y más. Los productos también están sujetos a un grupo de educadores de Texas.
