The standards (our summaries)

Indiana's official codes with our own short summaries (not the official wording). Each code links to the official document.

Algebra II

Arithmetic and Structure of Expressions, Equations, and Functions (ASE)

• AII.ASE.1 Explain how integer exponent rules extend to rational exponents so radicals can be written as rational powers.
• AII.ASE.2 Rewrite rational expressions with exponent rules and factoring to show structure, and add, subtract, multiply and divide them.
• AII.ASE.3 Solve systems in two variables that mix linear and nonlinear equations, algebraically and graphically.
• AII.ASE.4 Solve exponential and logarithmic equations in one variable.

Function Families (FF)

• AII.FF.1 Use technology to connect equations and graphs of quadratic, polynomial, square root, rational, exponential, log, piecewise and absolute value functions.
• AII.FF.2 Graph function families, describe intercepts, domain, range, asymptotes, symmetry and end behavior, find inverses and model situations.
• AII.FF.3 Rewrite functions in equivalent forms to reveal key features and connect them to real contexts.
• AII.FF.4 Apply function families to real problems, including science and economics.

Modeling with Functions and Data (MFD)

• AII.MFD.1 Define functions and inverses, show them algebraically and graphically, and identify situations functions can model.
• AII.MFD.2 Represent real problems with linear, quadratic, exponential or rational functions in tables, graphs and equations and interpret them.
• AII.MFD.3 Fit linear, quadratic or exponential models to bivariate data with technology, predict, interpret correlation and choose the best fit.
• AII.MFD.4 Explore with technology how adding k, multiplying by k or changing the input transforms graphs of different functions.

Modeling with Advanced Algebra (MAA)

• AII.MAA.1 Solve real problems with quadratic, polynomial and rational functions (completing the square, factoring, number of solutions, extraneous roots).
• AII.MAA.2 Model and solve real systems of linear equations and inequalities in two or three variables and judge the solutions.
• AII.MAA.3 Model real-world situations with linear programming and matrices.

Modeling with Data and Statistics (MDS)

• AII.MDS.1 Tell random from non-random sampling, reduce bias, evaluate surveys and experiments, design data collection and make inferences.
• AII.MDS.2 Compare simulation results with a theoretical model and use the law of large numbers to relate them.
• AII.MDS.3 Use predictive modeling, linear algebra and conditional probability to analyze data and evaluate claims.

Modeling with Quantities (MQ)

• AII.MQ.1 Model probability situations with permutations, combinations and the Fundamental Counting Principle.

Mathematics Process Standards (all grades)

Process Standards (PS)

• PS.1 Make sense of problems, plan a solution path, monitor progress and check that answers are reasonable.
• PS.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively, moving between symbols and the real context while attending to units.
• PS.3 Build and justify arguments (including always/sometimes/never), critique others' reasoning and collaborate.
• PS.4 Model with mathematics: apply math to everyday situations, make reasonable assumptions and check results.
• PS.5 Choose and use suitable tools, from paper and models to technology, knowing their strengths and limits.
• PS.6 Attend to precision: communicate with clear definitions, correct symbols, labeled units and suitable accuracy.
• PS.7 Look for and use structure and patterns, seeing complex items as single objects or as sets of parts.
• PS.8 Notice repeated reasoning, look for general methods and shortcuts, and keep checking intermediate results.
