Mastering the TEKS in World Geography is written in a student-friendly manner, with clear, insightful explanations, and a plethora of historical maps and illustrations. The book has an interactive format and organizes the TEKS into a form that students can easily follow. The book makes use of the latest educational research, including recommendations of the National Research Council in How People Learn. The opening unit presents special test-taking skills needed for End-of-Course Tests. Students learn how to read maps, tables, graphs and diagrams. Students also learn how to attack each type of multiple-choice question metacognitively through our unique E-R-A approach in which students examine the question, recall what they know and apply what they know to select the best answer. Each of the TEKS is completely covered. Information is organized logically around social studies skills and methods, and a chronological approach incorporating history, geography, economics, and government. Each Unit Opener serves as an advance organizer. There is also a word wall with the most important terms and concepts found in the unit. Applying What You Have Learned and Amateur Historian sections stimulate students to think about and apply what they have just learned. Study Cards are found at the end of each content chapter. Each chapter is followed by a Checking Your Understanding feature with both guided and independent practice. These questions are designed to mirror those questions students will find on the actual End-of-Course Test. Each unit concludes with a Concept Map, helping students to visually organize and review each standard and to see various relationships more clearly. A Complete Final Practice Test has the same distribution of questions and level of difficulty as the actual End-of-Course Test. Every question in the book is fully identified by its TEKS.
