2 Glossary of Curriculum Summative Assessment: Seeks to make an overall judgment of progress made at the end of a defined period of instruction. Formative Assessment: Used by teachers and students during instruction to provide feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve students achievement of intended instructional outcomes. Benchmark Assessment: Designed to provide feedback to both the teacher and the student about how the student is progressing towards demonstrating proficiency on grade level standards. Diagnostic Assessment: Ascertains, prior to instruction, each student s strengths, weaknesses, knowledge, and skills. Big Ideas: Declarative statements that describe concepts that transcend grade levels. Big Ideas are essential to provide focus on specific content for all students. Concepts: Describe what students should know (key knowledge) as a result of this instruction specific to grade level. Competencies: Describe what students should be able to do (key skills) as a result of this instruction, specific to grade level. Essential Questions: Questions that are specifically linked to the Big Ideas. They should frame student inquiry, promote critical thinking, and assist in learning transfer. Assessment Anchor: The Assessment Anchors represent categories of subject matter that anchor the content of the Keystone Exams. Each Assessment Anchor is part of a module and has one or more Anchor Descriptors unified under it. Anchor Descriptor: The Anchor Descriptor level provides further details that delineate the scope of content covered by the Assessment Anchor. Each Anchor Descriptor is part of an Assessment Anchor and has one or more Eligible Content unified under it. Eligible Content: The Eligible Content is the most specific description of the content that is assessed on the Keystone Exams. This level is considered the assessment limit and helps educators identify the range of the content covered on the Keystone Exams. Enhanced Standard: Enhanced Standards correlate to the Eligible Content statement. Some Eligible Content statements include annotations that indicate certain clarifications about the scope of an eligible content.

3 Course Description: Mifflin County School District Mathematics Department Algebra 1A is the first half of the bridge from the concrete to the abstract study of mathematics. This class will study the language, concepts, and techniques of algebra that will prepare students to approach and solve problems within the constraints of the algebraic properties. The students will learn the conceptual and procedural basics of algebra using various representations both manually and with technology. This course will help prepare students for the high level of mathematical thinking and problem solving needed in the workplace and in everyday life. The skills taught in this course provide a foundation for upper level math and sciences.
