Ordering fractions, decimals, and percentsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This video is part of the Continue to Know with WHRO TV series. Watch Ashley Ehret teach about ordering integers.

Comparing and ordering real numbersMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Students will be able to use a visual tool to map out a mathematical expression and be able to code into the pyret computing program.

In this virtual scavenger hunt, students will simplify expressions, by using the order of operations, and rearrange cards so they are in the correct order.

Investigating the real number systemMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom 

In this second part of a three part series, students will explore the ideas around Decrease, or Divide, and Conquer algorithm/programs to further understand the importance of password development, use, safety, and safekeeping by completing several unplugged activities over the course of three class periods (approximately 30-45 minutes each).  These activites can be completed seperately (stand-alone) with a few adjustments as well. Part 1 introduces Brute Force using a playing cards demonstration to sort as desired.  Part 2 introduces Decrease (or Divide) and Conquer to sort Quadrilaterals from Non-Quadrilateral shapes.  Part 3 uses the methods of both Brute Force and Divide and Conquer algorithms to decrypt (unscramble) passwords using commonly recognizable number patterns and words (completed on paper, or unplugged).  These activitess are intended for upper middle school students, but could also be adjusted for lower level highschool or simplified/adjusted for other ages as well with the editable copies provided.

Passwords are essential to protecting our private information from others. Use this lesson to explore some basic probabilty behind password options and how easily they can be guessed! This lesson provides an intro into cybersecurity and its vocabulary, as well as incorporates low prep activities you can modifiy to fit your needs.

Students use their problem solving skills to determine how many months a tenant can pay rent from a certain account. While the problem only has one solution, there are multiple strategies that can be applied to solve the task. The teacher should monitor solution strategies and purposefully select and order how students will share. A teacher guide is provided.

Finding percent of increase or decreaseMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This video is part of the Continue to Know with WHRO TV series. Watch Fallan Lee-Brown teach about identifying perfect squares.

This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important aspects of the task and its potential use. An additional source is added from VDOE to provide a foundation for identifying polygons and other support related to working with polygons.

Describing the concept of negative exponents for powers of 10. Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Determining the probability of independent and dependent eventsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This is a lesson that integrates programming in Python or Scratch into 3rd grade math. The focus of this lesson is on polygons.SOL's:Math 3.12The student will a) define polygon; b) identify and name polygons with 10 or fewer sides; and c) combine and subdivide polygons with three or four sides and name the resulting polygon(s).CS 3.2  3.2  The student will construct programs to accomplish tasks as a means of creative expression using a block- or text-based programming language, both independently and collaboratively a. using sequencing; b. using loops (a wide variety of patterns such as repeating patterns or growing patterns); and c. identifying events. 

This google slides activity will assist students in making connections with proportional reasoning.  Students will create tables, equivalent ratios, and graph friendly scenarios. Draggable objects are available for students who need manipulatives to figure it out.

Students will complete this assignment by stating if each pair of ratios forms a proportion.  Students solve by cross multiplying.  Students will write answers on a sticky note.

In this activity students will practice and reflect on the following:SOL 6.12ad The student willa) represent a proportional relationship between two quantities, including those arising from practical situations;d) make connections between and among representations of a proportional relationship between two quantities using verbal descriptions, ratio tables, and graphsPlease See Activity for detailed directions.

Students use concrete objects, representation, and abstract (algorithmic) thinking to complete 3 percentage word problems. The CRA assessment provides teachers with a deeper understanding of students' thinking. Do your students understand the relationship between the proportional algorithm and proportional reasoning?
