  2. INTRODUCTION Our math program is based on the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs). The SOLs identify math content for essential components of the math curriculum at grades K-5. The six specific content strands include: • Number and Number Sense • Computation and Estimation • Measurement • Geometry • Probability and Statistics • Patterns, Functions, and Algebra

  3. MATH GOALS Today’s students require stronger mathematical knowledge and skills to pursue higher education, to compete in a technologically oriented workforce, and to be informed citizens. Arithmetic alone is not enough. Students need to use a variety of methods and tools to compute, including paper and pencil, mental arithmetic, estimation, calculators and computers.

  4. STUDENT GOALS/PROCESS SKILLS The content of the math SOLs is intended to support these goals: • Mathematical Problem Solving • Mathematical Communication • Mathematical Reasoning • Mathematical Connections • Mathematical Representations
