For mathematics teachers and students, this school year has brought many changes. The Virginia Department of Education adopted new mathematics standards which have been fully implemented during this school year. The newly adopted standards are more rigorous and aligned in such a way as to better prepare students for success in Algebra and future high school math courses. The Virginia Department of Education has also begun the process of assessing student knowledge differently. Included on the SOL test will be Technology-Enhanced Items. Technology-Enhanced Items (TEI) require students to indicate their responses in ways other than a multiple-choice format. In an effort to help students and their parents prepare for the spring administration of the Mathematics Standards of Learning test, Suffolk Public Schools is providing students and parents with the following information and resources. While teachers are providing some of the same practice in the classroom, we want to provide parents with tools to practice with their child at home as well. We hope you find this helpful. Please click on the link above to view the various websites that you and your student can use for additional practice.
