SUGGESTED RUBRIC ADVANCED MATH II S05
Student Name: __________________________ Date: _______________________
 To receive a ‘B’, the student must show ‘B’ level mastery on all essential outcomes (TSWs).
 The teacher’s discretion on the student’s holistic performance on the unit, including such items as: the above ‘A’ level rubric, the unit project, group
work and class discussions will determine ‘A’ level mastery.
TSW
1. TSW graph and determine critical
values (including: minimum, maximum,
asymptote, intercepts, etc.), domain and
range for all functions studied: linear,
exponential, logarithmic, quadratic,
piecewise, polynomial, rational and
trigonometric.
2. TSW will recognize base functions
studied and transformations (shift,
stretch, reflection, etc.) of those
functions including such functions as:
linear, exponential, logarithmic,
quadratic, piecewise, polynomial,
rational and trigonometric.
3. TSW solve equations algebraically and
graphically for all functions studied:
linear, exponential, logarithmic,
quadratic, piecewise, rational and
trigonometric.
4. TSW determine if an inverse function
exists, and if it does, find the inverse of
any function studied including: linear,
exponential, logarithmic, quadratic,
piecewise, polynomial, rational and
trigonometric.

‘A’* LEVEL
TSW justify their work with a rationale of the
steps taken to arrive at the final graph.
‘B’ LEVEL
TSW graph and determine critical values
(including: minimum, maximum, asymptote,
intercepts, etc.), domain and range for all
functions studied: linear, exponential,
logarithmic, quadratic, piecewise, polynomial,
rational and trigonometric.
TSW will recognize base functions studied and
transformations (shift, stretch, reflection, etc.)
of those functions including such functions as:
linear, exponential, logarithmic, quadratic,
piecewise, polynomial, rational and
trigonometric.
TSW be able to compare and contrast the two
methods of solving and critique common
mistakes made in each method. (A common
mistake in graphing on the GDC is not having
an appropriate window. A common mistake
in solving algebraically is dividing out a term
instead of factoring out a term.)
TSW solve equations algebraically and
graphically for all functions studied: linear,
exponential, logarithmic, quadratic,
piecewise, rational and trigonometric.
TSW determine if an inverse function exists,
and if it does, find the inverse of any function
studied including: linear, exponential,
logarithmic, quadratic, piecewise, polynomial,
rational and trigonometric.
