Mission, Vision, Competencies, Standards, and Benchmarks

Algebra II and Algebra II VT
Within the Standards of Mathematical Practice K-12
‣ Be mathematical problem solvers.
‣ Reason and construct mathematical arguments.
‣ Communicate mathematically.
‣ See connections both within mathematics and to other subject areas.
‣ Look for and make use of structure and patterns.
See God’s orderliness and mystery reflected in mathematics
‣ Use mathematics to organize and understand in a finite way the
vastness and mystery of God and His creation.
Modeling
‣ Analyze characteristics of quadratic and polynomial functions
such as relative extrema, domain, range, zeros, increasing and
decreasing regions, and intersections of functions. These
characteristics are also applied to real world applications.
Functions
‣ Graph piecewise defined, quadratic, and trigonometric functions using
transformations.
‣ Understand and use the unit circle in the coordinate plane to
define the sine, cosine, and tangent functions.
Algebra
‣ Solve quadratic, polynomial, radical and rational equations and
inequalities using by using symbolic manipulation methods.
Number and Quantities
‣ Apply the properties of complex numbers to the solutions of quadratic and polynomial
equations.
