Mathematics Bridging Standards documents can be used in conjunction with the Tracking Logs (above) as a support in the identification of content that can be connected when planning instruction and promoting deeper student understanding. Standards are considered a bridge when they:
Function as a bridge to which other content within the grade level/course is connected;
Serve as prerequisite knowledge for content to be addressed in future grade levels/courses; or
Possess endurance beyond a single unit of instruction within a grade level/course.
This is the complete Virginia LEARNS document.
The recommendations in this document address strategies to prevent further expanding of currently existing learning gaps among our students. At the same time, this document discusses the importance of supporting the social and emotional needs of students first.
