Math Resources for “Learning in Place”

Providing virtual mathematics instruction to students can be challenging.  However, there are several resources available to support teachers, parents, and students who are teaching and learning in an environment outside of school, or learning in place.  A few of them are outlined below.

Virginia Department of Education Resources

The Virginia Department of Education has organized many resources to support teachers, parents, and students while learning in place.

Below is a summary of resources that can be found on the VDOE’s COVID-19 Mathematics Resources webpage:

Mathematics Tracking Logs:

The SOL Mathematics Tracking Logs are a resource to aid teachers with identifying standards that were taught prior to the COVID-19 school closure in March 2020, and to “make decisions regarding when and how experience with new standards might occur moving forward” (VDOE, 2020).  Each log has a space for teachers to check off standards that had already been taught prior to the closure, standards that were taught during the school closure, and standards that have not been taught.  Mathematics Tracking Logs are available for all levels of math from Kindergarten through Mathematical Analysis.

Below are links to access the tracking logs:

K-2 Mathematics Tracking Logs

Grades 3-5 Math Tracking Logs

Grades 6-8 Mathematics Tracking Logs

High School Math Tracking Logs

Online Resources:

The VDOE mathematics department has also created a list of online resources that are free for teachers, parents, and students to utilize.  The table below is a sample of the resources listed. The complete list is available on the VDOE Mathematics Webpage.
