The ISTEP+ assessment measures the academic performance of students in Mathematics.
The Indiana Academic Standards provide educators and administrators with a complete set of Indiana's K-12 academic standards for Mathematics. Schools should work to align curriculum instruction and classroom assessment with the new standards. While the standards set expectations for student learning they do not prescribe how the standards should be taught.
Teachers should use their skills, experience, talents, and resources to design classroom lessons to meet the individual needs of their students. With these new academic standards in place students in Indiana will be well equipped with the skills and knowledge to prepare them for the future.
IN: Calculus
The Indiana Academic Standards for Mathematics include standards for students in Calculus.
Calculus and Pre-Calculus
The Calculus/Pre-Calculus Unit includes Competencies/Objectives which focus on calculus concepts. Students study limits, matrix algebra, functions, vectors, conic sections, mathematical induction, and sequence and series using graphical calculators, computers, and models.
Functions
The Functions Unit includes Competencies/Objectives which focus on exploring polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and circular functions.
Mathematics Processes
The Mathematics Processes Unit includes Competencies/Objectives which focus on mathematical connections. Students communicate and model concepts and procedures.
Measurement
The Measurement Unit includes Competencies/Objectives which focus on measurement concepts, applications, and analysis. Students study length, area, circumference, perimeter, volume, weight, formulas, distance, calendar, money, tools, accuracy, units, constructions, patterns, and problem solving.
Probability/Statistics
The Probability/Statistics Unit includes Competencies/Objectives which focus on data analysis and probability concepts. Students collect, analyze, and make sense of real world data (including overlapping data, inconclusive data, etc.).
