Math in Agriculture Complete Curriculum | Full-Year Ag Math Course (9 Units, 81 Lessons, TEKS-Aligned)

The complete, day-by-day curriculum for Mathematical Applications in Agriculture — built for teachers who were assigned this course with no idea where to start.

Math Applications in Ag is one of the most practical courses in agricultural education, and one of the hardest to plan from scratch. It asks you to connect algebra, geometry, finance, and data analysis across animal science, agribusiness, plant systems, natural resources, ag mechanics, and food processing — all in one course. This curriculum builds that entire course for you: a full year, 9 units, 81 lessons, ready to teach.

What's Included

• Complete Teacher Edition (~300 pages) — day-by-day lesson plans, TEKS connections, pacing guides, warm-ups, worked examples, agricultural application scenarios, guided practice, station activities, discussion prompts, exit tickets, extension activities, assessments, and full answer keys
• Student Workbook (~66 pages) — organized, ready-to-print student handouts and practice problems matched to every lesson
• Full-Year Scope & Sequence — unit sequencing, 81-lesson pacing by grading period, TEKS alignment by unit, assessment planning, SAE integration, and differentiation notes

Built by an Agribusiness Math Specialist

Developed by an agricultural educator with a Master's degree in Agribusiness/Agricultural Business Operations, who has trained multiple Farm Business Management teams to Top 5 finishes at the state level. That background shows up directly in the Agribusiness unit: fixed vs. variable costs, break-even analysis, depreciation, contribution margin, and ROI are taught as real business math, not generic word problems with ag vocabulary swapped in.

9 Units Covering Every AFNR System

• Unit 1 — Mathematical Foundations in Agriculture: fractions, decimals, percentages, measurement, unit conversion, ratios, and data interpretation
• Unit 2 — Careers, SAE & Leadership in Agriculture: AFNR careers, workplace readiness, safety, FFA connections, and SAE planning
• Unit 3 — Math Topics in Agribusiness: fixed/variable costs, break-even analysis, profit and loss, depreciation, and a farm-business simulation
• Unit 4 — Math Topics in Animal Systems: feed tags, Feed Conversion Ratio, medication dosage, Average Daily Gain, and carcass revenue
• Unit 5 — Math Topics in Environmental Service Systems: unit conversions, water quality/ppm math, dilution ratios, and emissions calculations
• Unit 6 — Math Topics in Natural Resource Systems: pesticide calibration, Doyle Log Rule timber economics, wildlife structures, and land-use evaluation
• Unit 7 — Math Topics in Plant Systems: crop yield and loss, germination rate, greenhouse heating/cooling, and fertilizer application
• Unit 8 — Math Topics in Power, Structural & Technical Systems: construction bidding, gear ratios, Ohm's Law, structural geometry, and a full job-bid capstone
• Unit 9 — Math Topics in Food Products & Processing Systems: bacterial growth models, moisture loss, contribution margin, and HACCP compliance analysis

Perfect For

• Texas agricultural science teachers assigned Mathematical Applications in Agriculture
• New ag teachers building this course for the first time
• Departments adding an Ag Math course to their program
• Teachers strong in agriculture but less confident teaching applied math
• Experienced teachers who want their nights and weekends back

This isn't a stack of worksheets — it's a complete, sequenced course framework. Open the curriculum, follow the sequence, teach the lesson. Grades 9–12, built around 40-minute periods, with pacing flexibility for reteaching and campus-specific scheduling.
