What does a student learn in ?

Mastery Learning Standards
The required skills a student should display by the end of Grade 12.
Mathematical Process Standards
  • Algebra II

    The student applies mathematics to problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace.

  • Problem-Solving Model

    Algebra II

    The student uses a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution.

  • Select Tools and Techniques

    Algebra II

    The student selects appropriate tools and techniques, including real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology, and techniques such as mental math, estimation, and number sense, to solve problems.

  • Communicate Mathematical Ideas

    Algebra II

    The student communicates mathematical ideas, reasoning, and implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language.

  • Form Representations

    Algebra II

    The student creates and uses representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.

  • Analyze Relationships

    Algebra II

    The student analyzes mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas.

  • Algebra II

    The student displays, explains, and justifies mathematical ideas and arguments using precise mathematical language in written or oral communication.

Algebra II
  • Functions and Their Graphs

    Algebra II

    The student analyzes the graphs of functions, including polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric, and applies them to model situations.

  • Quadratic Functions and Equations

    Algebra II

    The student writes and solves quadratic equations and inequalities to represent real-world situations and uses the discriminant to analyze solutions.

  • Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

    Algebra II

    The student writes, evaluates, and graphs exponential and logarithmic functions, and uses them to model real-world situations such as compound interest and population growth.

  • Polynomial and Rational Expressions

    Algebra II

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

  • Systems and Matrices

    Algebra II

    The student writes and solves systems of three linear equations and uses matrices to organize and operate on real-world data.

  • Algebra II

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

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, writing, and other subjects. NAEP results inform state-by-state comparisons rather than individual student or school accountability.

When given:
biennial in winter
Frequency:
every two years
