1. 2012 Math SOL Questions
Test will be a mixture of multiple choice (MC), ≈ 85% and technology-enhanced (TE), ≈ 15%
Need to compare other subjects use of TE
All tests will have 60 questions (10 are field test)
2011 EPAT Multiple choice questions seemed to require more complex thought than previous years (2002, 2003)
Test pass/fail lines are unknown and will be drawn after fall block courses early this coming spring
VA DOE expects scores to drop across the state

2. Vertical Curriculum Development
VA DOE has posted drafts of a vertical outline for Alg I, Geometry and Alg II
No plans to update them
Expects schools to use them as a starting point
We need to develop vertical curriculum maps
County had planned on doing it, but Dr Rhodes moved on
Need to know what our students are supposed to know coming into our courses
To support MMS’s advanced math initiative
These students will not get portions of 7th and 8th grade SOL requirements
Alg I and Geometry teachers need to be aware of the additional topics that they will need to cover

3. Assignments Vertical Curriculum maps for all our courses
Geometry example is done
Alg I, Alg II, AFDA, Math Analysis, Calculus, Statistics
SOL Example questions based on the EPAT examples in this packet
Five questions for our next meeting
Four MC and 1 TE style of question
Material will be posted to my QUIA vertical team website as I get it for peer review and comment
Next meeting on 8 Dec at 1530 in room 126
