  9. Texas History Lesson • TABS • TEAMS • TAAS • TAKS • STAAR • What is the answer • to the Exit Level • Math Question? • Which question • item goes with • which state • assessment?

  10. TABS Exit Level Math (1982) • One Step: • Fewest barrels

  11. TEAMS Exit Level Math (1986) • Two Steps: • Find point on graph • Multiply • 30 pupils x $300 = $9,000

  12. TAAS Exit Level Math (1999) • Three Steps: • Find paper • on pie chart • Divide tons of • paper by total • tons: • 72/180 • 3. Convert to 40%

  13. TAKS Exit Level Math (2002 Field Test) • Five Steps: • Add all votes • 240 + 420 + 180 + 300 + 60 = 1,200 • 2. Determine which student finished 3rd • (Bridget: 240 votes) • 3. Determine Bridget’s %age of votes • 240 / 1,200 = 20% • Know that a pie chart has 360 total degrees • Determine 20% of 360 degrees: • .20 x 360 = 72

  15. Five Steps: • The student must know how to apply the • quadratic formula to find the value of the • discrimant • Find quadratic equation on formula chart: • If • there are two real number roots of the equation • and the graph of the parabola crosses the • x-axis at those roots • If • there is a “multiple” or repeated root of the • equation and the vertex of the graph of the • parabola touches the x-axis at that root. • If • the roots of the equation are imaginary numbers • and the graph of the parabola does not • intersect the x-axis STAAR Exit Level Math?
