NEW Resources! The resources on this page have been updated to align with the revised secondary mathematics TEKS. These revised TEKS were adopted by the Texas State Board of Education in 2005, with full implementation scheduled for 2006-07.

Algebra II Assessments

A resource for teachers to use to provide ongoing assessment integrated with mathematics instruction. These assessments are tasks that reflect what all students need to know and be able to do in the given grade or course. These tasks, which focus on students' understanding as well as their procedural knowledge, may be used for formative, summative, or ongoing assessment. The tasks require more than right or wrong answers; they focus on how students are thinking about a situation.

You can purchase this resource through our web catalog as either a book or a CD. You can also download the entire book here (pdf 13mb), or download parts of the book below.
