  1. Texas Algebra I Taking Standardized Test Part 1:Deductive Reasoning

  2. Lesson Objectives The student will be able to: • use deductive reasoning to arrive at a “best” answer for a given test question

  3. Graphs*Fact: Frequently, test writers only have 1 answer that could POSSIBLY be correct! Sample question (2009 releases TAKS): The height, h, of a football when kicked with respect to time, t, is described by the function: Which graph shows the correct sketch of this function?

  4. GraphsThis question is a basic understanding question! Look at the given function: What do we know about it? • It is a parabola.

  5. GraphsThis question is a basic understanding question! Look at the given function: What do we know about it? • It is a parabola. • The parabola opens down.

  6. GraphsThis question is a basic understanding question! Look at the given function: What do we know about it? • It is a parabola. • The parabola opens down. • The it crosses the y-axis at the origin.

  7. GraphsTherefore, based upon that there is only one answer that can be correct Sample question (2009 releases TAKS): The height, h, of a football when kicked with respect to time, t, is described by the function: Which graph shows the correct sketch of this function?

  11. This is a another basic understanding question! This also test your basic understanding of “diameter”. Even if you are confused by this question, consider: A, C, & D and are all diagonals.

  12. This is a another basic understanding question! This also test your basic understanding of “diameter”. Even if you are confused by this question, consider: Answers choices The only segment that from face to face is B
