THE ELEMENTARY
MATHEMATICS PROGRAM
Newport News Public Schools
INTRODUCTION
Our math program is based on the Virginia
Standards of Learning (SOLs). The SOLs
identify math content for essential
components of the math curriculum at grades
K-5. The six specific content strands include:
 Number and Number Sense
 Computation and Estimation
 Measurement
 Geometry
 Probability and Statistics
 Patterns, Functions, and Algebra
MATH GOALS
Today’s students require stronger
mathematical knowledge and skills to
pursue higher education, to compete in a
technologically oriented workforce, and
to be informed citizens. Arithmetic
alone is not enough. Students need to
use a variety of methods and tools to
compute, including paper and pencil,
mental arithmetic, estimation, calculators
and computers.
