Math TAKS

Knowledge and understanding of underlying processes and mathematical tools are critical for students to be able to apply mathematics in their everyday lives. Problems that occur in the real world often require the use of multiple concepts and skills. Students should be able to recognize mathematics as it occurs in real-life problem situations, generalize from mathematical patterns and sets of examples, select an appropriate approach to solving a problem, solve the problem, and then determine whether the answer is reasonable. Expressing problem situations in mathematical language and symbols is essential to finding solutions to real-life questions. These concepts allow students to communicate clearly and use logical reasoning to make sense of their world. Students can then connect the concepts they have learned in mathematics to other disciplines and to higher mathematics. Through an understanding of the basic ideas found in Objective 6, students will be able to analyze and solve real-world problems. In addition, the knowledge and skills in Objective 6 at sixth grade are closely aligned with the knowledge and skills in Objective 6 at seventh grade. From taks info .com
