Algebra II MCAP
MCAP EOC Tutorials for Maryland are designed specifically for the Maryland College and Career Ready Standards to prepare
students for the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP). EOC Categories are at the heart of MCAP EOC
Tutorial structure – bringing category-based learning to the student experience, and category-based performance and
progress tracking to the teacher experience.
Math Tutorials offer targeted instruction, practice and review designed to develop computational fluency, deepen
conceptual understanding, and apply mathematical practices. They automatically identify and address learning gaps down to
elementary-level content, using adaptive remediation to bring students to grade-level no matter where they start. Students
engage with the content in an interactive, feedback-rich environment as they progress through standards-aligned modules.
By constantly honing the ability to apply their knowledge in abstract and real world scenarios, students build the depth of
knowledge and higher order skills required to demonstrate their mastery when put to the test.
In each module, the Learn It and Try It make complex ideas accessible to students through focused content, modeled logic
and process, multi-modal representations, and personalized feedback as students reason through increasingly challenging
problems. The Review It offers a high impact summary of key concepts and relates those concepts to students’ lives. The
Test It assesses students’ mastery of the module’s concepts, providing granular performance data to students and
teachers after each attempt. To help students focus on the content most relevant to them, unit-level pretests and
posttests can quickly identify where students are strong and where they’re still learning.
Test-Taking Strategies for EOC Tutorials allow students to practice and apply learning approaches that will hone their test-
taking skills and focus them for success on the day of their EOC test.
2. RATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
OPERAT IONS WIT H RAT IONAL EXPRESSIONS
A.REI.A.2 Solve simple rational and radical equations in one variable, and give examples showing how extraneous solutions
may arise.
A.APR.D.6 Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write ( )/ ( ) in the form ( ) + ( )/ ( ), where ( ),
( ), ( ), and ( ) are polynomials with the degree of ( ) less than the degree of ( ), using inspection, long division,
or, for the more complicated examples, a computer algebra system.

A2.M.6 Solve multi-step contextual word problems with degree of difficulty appropriate to the course, requiring application of
course-level knowledge and skills articulated in the standards.
A2.R.2 Given a system of equations, reason about the number of solutions.
A.REI.D.11 Explain why the -coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations = ( ) and = ( ) intersect
are the solutions of the equation ( ) = ( ); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions,
make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where ( ) and/or ( ) are linear, polynomial,
rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
PARABOLAS
F.IF.B.4 For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms
of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship.

a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).
A2.R.1 Given an equation, reason about the number and nature of the solutions.
DIVISION OF POLYNOMIALS
A.SSE.A.2 Use the structure of expressions to identify ways to rewrite it.
A.APR.D.6 Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write ( )/ ( ) in the form ( ) + ( )/ ( ), where ( ),
( ), ( ), and ( ) are polynomials with the degree of ( ) less than the degree of ( ), using inspection, long division,

SEQUENCES
F.IF.A.3 Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers.
For example, the Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by (0) = (1) = 1, ( + 1) = ( ) + ( – 1) for ≥ 1.
F.BF.A.1a Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from a real-world context.

F.IF.C.8 Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties
of the function.
A2.M.4 Interpret the solution to a real-world problem in terms of context.
A2.M.6 Solve multi-step contextual word problems with degree of difficulty appropriate to the course, requiring application of
course-level knowledge and skills articulated in the standards.
A.REI.B.4 b Solve quadratic equations with rational number coefficients by inspection (e.g., for ² = 49), taking square roots,
completing the square, the quadratic formula and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when
the quadratic formula gives complex solutions.
