Assessments

In Algebra 2, students analyze and apply operations using multiple representations of functions to compare, interpret data, and make inferences.  Functions include (but not limited to) linear, exponential, quadratic, absolute value, inverse,  piecewise, cubic, polynomial, trigonometric, logarithms, etc.  They use statistics in real world contexts to develop solutions.  

Essential Standard Claim 1 Proficiency Scales (from Algebra 1, Level 4 is Algebra 2)

Can be used to inform standard-based grading

Formative and/or Summative Assessments,

Reengagement & Reassessment

Solving Equations & Inequalities: Linear & Exponential Focused Interim Assessment Block (FIAB):  Consider giving instead of chapter tests or quizzes. 

Consider using this assessment throughout instruction in an unstandardized administation - whole class, small group or select items individually.

Solving Equations & Inequalities: Linear & Exponential FIAB Reengagement Day:  Do instead of a review day before the assessment.

Reengagement One Pager   See document.

Reengagement Template (One Slide)  See slides.

Need to Do a Class Review for your Next Big Summative Assessment?  Instead of wasting time and boring students with a comprehensive review, provide those notes and try something different instead.  Rather than reviewing first and then doing a practice test, consider giving the practice test first and then reengaging around the results for a more targeted and engaging review.

Cumulative Assessment #1: Site / teacher created.  Please submit to the design team, email dmattoon@hemetusd.org

To save time in this relatively short unit, consider using a Claim 4 task as an individual performance task.

Guidelines for Creating your Own Assesment in Claim 1

A-SSE.A.2 Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it.  For example, see x^4 – y^4 as (x^2)^2 – (y^2)^2, thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x^2 – y^2)(x^2 + y^2).  

F-IF.C.7  Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.  Modeling Standard

A-CED.1. Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions and simple rational and exponential functions.  Modeling Standard

A-CED.2  Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.  Modeling Standard

A-REI.11  Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.  Modeling Standard

F-IF.B.4 For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of

the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship.  Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.  Modeling Standard

F-BF.B.3 Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, kf(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. 

There are no Claim 1 Item Specification for F-BF.3 but it is assessed in Claim 3.  

F-LE.4.3 Express & Evaluate Logarithms; Translate Between Logs in any Base Simplify Logarithmic Functions

There are no Claim 1 Item Specification for F-LE.4.3 but it is assessed in Claim 4.
