Calculus AB Priority Keys Aligned with Nevada Standards MA I MI L S MA represents a Major content area. Any concept labeled MA is something of central importance to the entire class/curriculum; it is a foundation or cornerstone of the course. Mastery of MA concepts is required for a student to succeed in a course. I represents Important content area. A little smaller than MA, I concepts must be Mastered but are not necessarily cornerstones of a course or required in order to succeed throughout the course. MI represents a Minor content area. Minor content areas are those that must be touched on briefly, introduced, but not thoroughly covered or mastered in order for students to achieve success in a course or completion of state and national standards.
