Sample Scope and Sequence for Algebra II for the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
In Algebra I, students have already begun their study of algebraic concepts. They have used equations, tables, and graphs to describe relationships between quantities, with a particular focus on linear, quadratic, and exponential functions and equations. The Algebra II course outlined in this scope and sequence document begins with connections back to that earlier work, efficiently reviewing algebraic and statistical concepts that students have already studied while at the same time moving students forward into new concepts. Students expand their library of functions to include polynomial functions, logarithmic functions, rational functions, and trigonometric functions. With a larger library of functions, students increase their ability to model situations, make predictions and answer questions about the situation.
This scope and sequence assumes 160 days for instruction, divided among 13 units. The units are sequenced in a way that we believe best develops and connects the mathematical content described in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics; however, the order of the standards included in any unit does not imply a sequence of content within that unit. Some standards may be revisited several times during the course; others may be only partially addressed in different units, depending on the mathematical focus of the unit. Throughout Algebra II, students should continue to develop proficiency with the Common Core's eight Standards for Mathematical Practice:
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
These practices should become the natural way in which students come to understand and to do mathematics. While, depending on the content to be understood or on the problem to be solved, any practice might be brought to bear, some practices may prove more useful than others. Opportunities for highlighting certain practices are indicated in different units of study in this sample scope and sequence, but this highlighting should not be interpreted to mean that other practices should be neglected in those units.
This scope and sequence reflects our current thinking related to the intent of the CCSS for Mathematics, but it is an evolving document. We expect to make refinements to this scope and sequence in the coming months in response to new learnings about the standards. In planning your district's instructional program, you should be prepared to have similar flexibility in implementing your district's own scope and sequence for the next 2 to 3 years, as you transition from your state's current standards to full implementation of the CCSS for Mathematics.

Students learn how polynomials model some behaviors with varying rates of change, and they see how the degree of the polynomial relates to the number of real zeros and the number of local extreme values of the polynomial function. Students then apply this knowledge to choose appropriate models for situations based on how quantities in the situation vary, with particular emphasis on short term and end behavior. Students will also interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients as well as interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity.

In this topic, students define three trigonometric functions: y = sin α, y = cos α and y = tan α based on the unit circle. Students learn to use transformations to model periodic situations. They also develop the Pythagorean identity from the unit circle and derive related identities. In this topic, students draw upon their knowledge of different parent functions, including linear, polynomial, power, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions, to choose the appropriate model for a given situation. Students write and solve equations, inequalities, and systems of equations and inequalities to answer questions that arise from these situations. 7
