High School Mathematics - Grade 11

Grade 11

The Mathematics Standards describe what students should know and be able to do at the eleventh grade level. They reflect the increasing complexity and sophistication that students are expected to achieve as they progress through school. The Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) assesses Mathematics at the eleventh grade.

Mathematics Processes

The Mathematics Processes Unit focuses on mathematical connections, communication, modeling, concepts and procedures.

Communication: Clearly
The learner will be able to communicate mathematical procedures and results clearly, systematically, succinctly and accurately.

Measurement

The Measurement Unit includes Competencies/Objectives which focus on measurement concepts, applications, and analysis. The Measurement Unit includes concepts of length, area, circumference, perimeter, volume, weight, formulas, distance, calendar, money, tools, accuracy, units, constructions, patterns and problem solving.

Perimeter/Area/Volume: Relating
The learner will be able to analyze the perimeter, area, and volume of figures to determine not only how they are related, but also how changes in one attribute will affect the other attributes.

Probability/Statistics

The Probability/Statistics Unit focuses on data analysis and probability concepts. This unit includes collecting, analyzing, and making sense of real-world data (including overlapping data, inconclusive data, etc.).

Predictions: Technology
The learner will be able to predict using interpolation, extrapolation, regression, and approximation, using technology to verify them.

Problem Solving

The Problem Solving Unit focuses on the problem solving effort. This unit includes analyzing problems, evaluating solutions, problem exploration, and strategies.

Strategies: Choose/Apply
The learner will be able to choose and apply appropriate mathematical concepts and strategies from various areas of mathematics and use them to solve non-routine and multi-step problems.
