Grade 10 Math Syllabus Algebra II
Course Description
Grade10 Algebra II has been developed taking into consideration the five standards
(strands) of Mathematics defined by NCTM: the course develops student
understanding and skills in Algebra II including numbers, operations, geometry,
measurement, data analysis, probability and problem solving. The Algebra II course
will focus on linear equations and inequalities, systems of equations and inequalities,
factoring polynomials and trinomials, matrices, quadratics, relations, functions, graphs,
roots, radicals, complex numbers and exponents and logarithms. In addition students
learn different ways to represent math, to communicate their math understanding and
to make connections to real world situations and other subject areas. Students are
assessed in a variety of ways continuously throughout the program of study to ensure
they are understanding content and are able to use and apply the knowledge and skills
they are developing.

APPENDIX D: Secondary Assessment Policy
Assessment monitors the progress of student learning and produces feedback for
students, teachers, parents and external institutions. The following policy outlines
the general assessment procedures for the school. Teachers are responsible for
communicating their individual assessment policies to the students and parents at
the beginning of the school year.
Teachers are expected to communicate assessment expectations and criteria,
including major assignments and projects clearly to students prior to a chunk of
learning. Assessment should take into account the ISS diverse group of learners
and learning styles. Feedback on assignments should be positive, constructive and
prompt. Teachers should provide a wide variety of different assessment
opportunities which are relevant and motivational to students. Formative
assessments assist student in building understanding, knowledge and skills and
summative assessments assess students’ acquired understanding, knowledge and
skills.

summative evaluations for students with IEPs.
