Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the science TEKS and math, English language arts and reading, social studies, and technology applications. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.

Math

Math.2.8.A create two-dimensional shapes based on given attributes, including number of sides and vertices

Math.2.8.C classify and sort polygons with 12 or fewer sides according to attributes, including identifying the number of sides and number of vertices

Math.2.9.A find the length of objects using concrete models for standard units of length

Math.2.9.C represent whole numbers as distances from any given location on a number line

Math.2.9.D determine the length of an object to the nearest marked unit using rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, or measuring tapes

Math.2.9.F use concrete models of square units to find the area of a rectangle by covering it with no gaps or overlaps, counting to find the total number of square units, and describing the measurement using a number and the unit

Technology Applications

TA.2.6.A use a digital tool to individually or collaboratively create and communicate data visualizations such as pictographs and bar graphs
