Standards Checklist
Name:_____________________
Advisor:____________________
Below is a list of the skills you will learn during this course. After each test, check off the ones you have
demonstrated with mastery. By keeping your checker sheet up-to-date you will know which topics you
have really learned and which need to be studied further. *Information in the parentheses refers to the
High School Advanced Knowledge and Skills for Mathematics as released by the Oregon Department of
Education.
Scoring Rubric: 4 = Exceeds Standards= Mastery = 100%
3 = Meets Standards = Proficient = 80%
2 = Nearly Meets Standards = Developing towards Standards = 60%
1 = Does Not Meet Standards = Little to no Evidence of Meeting Standards = 20%
inc = Incomplete Attempt or No Attempt Yet = 0%
