College Algebra A (MTH 111)
Standards Checklist
Name:_____________________
Advisor:____________________
Below is a list of the skills you will learn during this course separated by chapter and Smarter Balanced
Test Claims. 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%
