Proposed Mathematics Standards of Learning: View Response #15

What proposed changes do you feel will strengthen math instruction?	K1 and K2 number and number sense- raising the number to 20 is good because using calendar math activities we already had these expectations of our children. K4 number and number sense-glad the calculator was removed from the standard. counting by 5's and 1o's is easier to teach through calendar math skills and manipulatives.
Do you disagree with any proposed changes?	K4 number and number sense- Not sure all Kindergarten children will be able to count to 100 by the end of the year. We do use this skill everyday counting up to the 100th day of school but not all seem to be able to complete this at the end of the year without help.
