This curriculum guide follows the 2016 Virginia Algebra I SOLs as adopted by the Virginia Department of Education. It is extremely important and required that the Sequence of Instruction and Pacing be followed as presented in this guide. Topic references from the textbook,Virginia Algebra I, (2019 edition) by Houghton-Mifflin-Harcourt are listed in this curriculum guide in the Resources sections.
Students will take three formative assessments during the year (dates to be determined annually). Each teacher-designed test will assess skill levels of the SOLs as presented in the Sequence of Instruction and Pacing and the formative assessment blueprint. The data collected from the formative assessments will help teachers determine students’ strengths and weaknesses, and inform instructional decisions.
The Mapping for Instruction is based on specified SOLs which are to be taught in the predetermined order. Note, some SOLs (or their parts) may be taught over multiple 9-week periods.
Refer to the Mathematics 2016 Standards of Learning Algebra I Curriculum Framework during every lesson. It is located at the back of this guide. This will provide valuable information for the teacher (Understanding the Standard) and desired goals for instruction (Essential Knowledge and Skills). Examples of teaching techniques and strategies, definitions, and recommended manipulatives are included in the Curriculum Framework and on the VDOE website under Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) http://www.doe.virginia.gov/testing/sol/standards_docs/mathematics/2016/mip/index.shtml.
