On Wednesday (10/4), the NJ state board of education approved the new math standards (NJSLS-M). Moving forward, a change to the standards will be highlighted each week in the newsletter.
Educators from across the state worked collaboratively to develop the proposed revisions over the past year. The following link takes you to the proposed revisions.
You can also view the NJDOE presentation on the proposed revisions delivered at the State Board of Education on April 5, 2023 as well as at regional meetings:
A colleague from Warren Hills school district was kind enough to create a crosswalk document for the 2023 NJSLS-Math. I have edited the document to include only the HS standards. More will be discussed at the November department meeting.

Students scan their work. The app allows the user to predefine up to 7 destinations for the scan (Google Drive, email, Evernote, etc). The scan is automatically sent to the desired destination.
