Resources to Support Bridging to New Learning
Virginia Standards of Learning - Mathematics Tracking Logs
Mathematics Standards of Learning Tracking Logs for grades Kindergarten through Algebra II have been developed to assist teachers in identifying which standards students have had sufficient exposure and experience during the 2020-2021 school year. They may support decisions regarding when and how experience with new standards might occur in the 2021-2022 school year.

Bridging Mathematics
Mathematics Bridging Standards documents can be used in conjunction with the Tracking Logs (above) as a support in the identification of content that can be connected when planning instruction and promoting deeper student understanding. Standards are considered a bridge when they:
- Function as a bridge to which other content within the grade level/course is connected;
- Serve as prerequisite knowledge for content to be addressed in future grade levels/courses; or
- Possess endurance beyond a single unit of instruction within a grade level/course.
Bridging Standards by Grade Level (Just in Time Quick Checks Links within the documents will be forthcoming):
- Kindergarten Bridging Standards
- Grade 1 Bridging Standards
- Grade 2 Bridging Standards
- Grade 3 Bridging Standards
- Grade 4 Bridging Standards
- Grade 5 Bridging Standards
- Grade 6 Bridging Standards
- Grade 7 Bridging Standards
- Grade 8 Bridging Standards
Virginia's College & Career Ready Mathematics Performance Expectations
Mathematics Performance Expectations define the level of achievement students must reach to be academically prepared for success in entry-level credit-bearing college courses. The expectations were developed through the College & Career Readiness Initiative - a process that involved faculty from Virginia's two- and four-year colleges and universities, members of the business community, and high school educators.
Special Education & Student Support
- Co-teaching Mathematics Instructional Plans - These plans utilize the six common co-teaching approaches and contain suggestions as to how co-teachers can effectively utilize the expertise of each teacher to enhance lessons and activities in a co-taught classroom. These co-teaching plans were created and modified by a select group of Virginia teachers participating in the Excellence for Co-teaching Initiative. These plans align instruction with the expectations of the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning and were vetted by VDOE content and special education specialists.
- Learning Disabilities in Mathematics - This page includes information and resources, as well as two new VDOE companion guides:
- The Evidence-Based Specially Designed Instruction in Mathematics Resource Guide provides an overview of evidence-based instructional strategies that educators can utilize to support students with mathematics disability or difficulty at any grade.
- The Students with Disabilities in Mathematics: Frequently Asked Questions is companion to the Evidenced Based Specially Designed Instruction in Mathematics Resource Guide listed above. This document provides an overview of the characteristics of mathematics disability, as well as information about accommodations, modifications, and assistive technology that can support a student with a disability in mathematics.
