Roll-out of new math standards continues The second in a series of
five courses addressing the new mathematics content standards will take place
Jan. 10-13 across South Dakota. The focus will be on number sense.
Mathematics Standards -- Number Sense Strand will take place Jan. 10 at the
Ramkota in Rapid City; Jan. 11 at the Holiday Inn Express in Fort Pierre; Jan.
12 at the Ramkota in Aberdeen; and Jan. 13 at the Oaks Hotel in Sioux Falls.
Sessions run from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
More than 130 K-12 educators attended the first part of the series – the
statistics strand – held in November.
Recently, the Department of Education also released mid-year and
end-of-year assessments for use in Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry. The
tests are aligned to the revised math content standards. Schools may use them
to help with curriculum alignment and assessment of student performance. Tests
have been sent to school test coordinators. Their use is optional.
