What proposed changes do you feel will strengthen math instruction? |
I feel like the change on SOL 3.10 a will be a good one for the students. Actually having them measure the distance of the polygon will give them a better understanding of the concept of perimeter.
I feel like working with word problems more in 2-3 step directions will enable a student to comprehend "mathematics" better not just "arithmetic."
We are doing a lot of these objectives in these formats. We will need to start naming the property for algebra such as "commutative properties."
We would like to see more staff development, seminars, etc.. for teachers on "Better Ways to Teach Mathematics."
These need to be offered all over the Commonwealth.
Thank you,

What suggestions do you have that are not reflected in the revisions? |
Our teachers were very impressed with Gizmos. We recently had an inservice on this and will be using it in our classroom and computer lab.
It was very helpful and I believe it would be another tool show
students how the concepts work and this will allow a better
understanding of the concepts.
