EOI Algebra I — 2006-2007 Short Descriptors

There are short and long descriptors that identify the student performance level according to what the student has learned or can do.

Short descriptors summarize the knowledge and skills typically possessed by students in the applicable category: Advanced, Satisfactory, Limited Knowledge, Unsatisfactory. These descriptors appear on several of the reports: Parent/Student Report, Performance Report by Student, and Class Summary Report.

Long descriptors give detailed listings of the knowledge and skills typically possessed by students in the applicable category (Advanced, Satisfactory, Limited Knowledge) for each standard and/or objective within the category. These descriptors appear on the Oklahoma State Department of Education Web site at http://sde.state.ok.us/studentassessment.

Only the short descriptors are shown here.

End-of-Instruction Algebra I—Short Descriptors

Advanced:Students typically demonstrate a thorough understanding of the knowledge and skills expected of all students at the End-of-Instruction in Algebra I, which includes objectives in the areas of number sense and algebraic operations; relations and functions; and data analysis and statistics. In addition to demonstrating a broad and in-depth understanding and application of all skills at the Satisfactory level, students typically use a wide range of strategies to solve real-world, nonroutine problems; regularly use various types of reasoning effectively; consistently connect one area or idea of mathematics to another; and communicate mathematical ideas clearly through a variety of representations.

Satisfactory: Students typically demonstrate a general understanding of the mathematics knowledge, skills, and processes expected of all students at the End-of-Instruction in Algebra I, as follows: translate word phrases and sentences into expressions and equations; use the laws of exponents to evaluate expressions with integer exponents; distinguish between linear and nonlinear data; identify and evaluate a function; use slope to differentiate between parallel, perpendicular, horizontal, or vertical lines; develop the equation of a line and graph linear relationships; match simple equations or inequalities to a graph, table, or situation; use formulas to solve two-step problems; make valid predictions and/or arguments based on collected data; and use a line-of-best-fi t model to represent collected data.

Limited Knowledge: Students demonstrate a partial understanding of the mathematics knowledge, skills, and processes expected of all students at the End-of-Instruction in Algebra I. Students are typically inconsistent in applying the general knowledge and mathematical process skills necessary to solve problems effectively and reason mathematically.

Unsatisfactory: Students do not demonstrate even a Limited Knowledge level of the skills expected of all students at the End-of-Instruction in Algebra I. These students typically should be given comprehensive mathematics instruction.
