The teacher companion to Algebra 2 A (California), the first semester of a full-year, college-preparatory Algebra II course aligned to the CA CCSS for Mathematics and submitted with Algebra 2 B as UC A-G area C.
Module 1 covers the semester as a whole: how the course meets the standards and makes the area C case; teaching modeling with real California data that must be refreshed each year, alongside productive struggle and discourse norms; pacing and what to cut, including the (+) standards; and tools, access and integrity. Modules 2-5 take one student unit each: a briefing on what students produce and the misconceptions that arrive every year, a facilitation module for the discourse lab and the modeling workshop, and a scoring module with synthetic student work at three bands, the errors to look for, and the feedback that moves each.
Every number in the exemplars has been recomputed and matches the student lessons. Do the scoring modules with a colleague; calibration is where consistent grading comes from.
