What proposed changes do you feel will strengthen math instruction? |
A lot of objectives have been moved to earlier grades - I think this is good - especially objectives for grade 6 & 7 because there is such a big gap in expectations from grades 5 - 6 and up. SOL 7.10 was moved to 4.12 -- 7.3 was moved to 4.16 -- these are good changes because we do need to start introducing many concepts earlier in order to gain mastery. I also like the expansion of some of the objectives such as the new 4.10; 5.3 and 4.4. I will help to have the objectives expanded and detailed to ensure mastery.
