Math Forward VA is creating Unit Instructional Guides to support school systems in the Commonwealth of Virginia implement the 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning.

Our goal is to provide resources and materials that schools and school divisions can use to develop their division curriculum guides and pacing documents. 

At minimum, we aim to produce the following for Kindergarten through Math 8, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2:

• Scope and Sequence

• Unit guides

• Teaching considerations for each unit

• Concept progressions for each unit

• Intentionally selected and created learning experiences for each unit

In creating the scope and sequence, we prioritized making connections throughout the curriculum. This can be seen through starting each grade level/course with a unit on the data cycle that is revisited throughout the year when appropriate. 

This is not intended to be a full curriculum or a replacement for a basal resource, but rather a starting point for school divisions in creating or selecting their curriculum. 

The power of having a statewide contingent working and implementing a common scope and sequence allows for an immense amount of collaboration that can help every school division's materials be as great as they can be.  

Our anticipated timeline for publishing is:

• February 12, 2024: Scope and Sequence guides available for all grade levels/courses

• February 28, 2024: Unit guides available for the first quarter of all grade levels/courses

• March 31, 2024: All unit guides available for all grade levels/courses without learning experiences

• April 30, 2024: Learning experiences for the second quarter of all grade levels/courses

• June 30, 2024: Learning experiences for the third quarter of all grade levels/courses

• August 31, 2024: Learning experiences for the fourth quarter of all grade levels/courses

We are committed to providing all of materials free of charge and openly available to anyone who wants to use them.

Math Forward VA is an all volunteer collective of mathematics leaders across the Virginia. Our collective contains division specialists, math coaches, and teachers. Countless individuals have been responsible for curating, writing, editing, vetting, and reviewing materials. 

Contributions are provided from individuals from the following school divisions:

Alexandria, Arlington, Brunswick, Charlottesville, Charles City, Chesterfield, Clarke, Colonial Heights, Culpeper, Dinwiddie, Fauquier, Fairfax,  Falls Church City, Frederick, Hanover, Harrisonburg City, Henrico, Hopewell, King George, Loudoun, Louisa, Madison, Manassas City, Manassas Park, Orange, Page, Prince George, Prince William, Rappahannock, Richmond City, Roanoke City, Rockingham, Shenandoah, Virginia Beach, Winchester
