What does a student learn in ?

Mastery Learning Standards
The required skills a student should display by the end of Grade 12.
Mathematical Thinking and Reasoning
  • Mathematical Thinking

    Algebra II

    The student actively participates in mathematics by analyzing problems, applying perseverance, and trying multiple approaches.

  • Modeling Real-World Situations

    Algebra II

    The student demonstrates understanding by representing real-world situations with mathematical models.

  • Complete Tasks with Fluency

    Algebra II

    The student completes tasks with fluency and demonstrates the use of efficient methods.

  • Engage in Discourse

    Algebra II

    The student engages in mathematical discourse with peers, asking and answering questions to clarify and build understanding.

  • Use Patterns and Structure

    Algebra II

    The student uses patterns and structure to make sense of and solve mathematical problems.

  • Assess Reasonableness

    Algebra II

    The student assesses the reasonableness of solutions, including rounding, estimation, and units, in context.

  • Apply Mathematics in Real-World Contexts

    Algebra II

    The student applies mathematics to real-world contexts to solve problems and to make decisions in and beyond the classroom.

Algebra II
  • Functions and Their Graphs

    Algebra II

    The student analyzes the graphs of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions.

  • Polynomial and Rational

    Algebra II

    The student performs operations with polynomial and rational expressions and solves equations involving them.

  • Exponentials and Logarithms

    Algebra II

    The student writes, evaluates, and graphs exponential and logarithmic functions and applies them to model real-world situations.

  • Sequences and Series

    Algebra II

    The student writes and applies arithmetic and geometric sequences and series to solve problems.

  • Algebra II

    The student uses the unit circle and trigonometric identities to model periodic phenomena.

  • Algebra II

    The student applies statistical concepts, including the normal distribution and confidence intervals, to make inferences.

Assessments
The state tests students at this grade and subject take.
National Monitoring

NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress)

Federally administered sample-based assessment in reading, mathematics, science, and writing. NAEP results inform state-by-state comparisons rather than individual student or school accountability.

When given:
biennial in winter
Frequency:
every two years
