We invite you to join us for the BNVCTM Concepts to Classroom Conference on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Metz Middle School in Manassas, VA. This hands-on, make-and-take conference is designed to provide practical mathematics strategies, engaging activities, and ready-to-use resources that you can take back and use with students right away.
We're excited to welcome Kateri Thunder as our keynote speaker. She will inspire and equip educators with powerful mathematics instructional strategies.
In addition to the keynote, participants will enjoy:
Interactive breakout sessions by grade band
Ready-to-use instructional resources
Opportunities to connect with colleagues
Amazing vendors and sponsors
A fun and engaging make-and-take experience
Register by September 10th! Registration information is available here: https://forms.gle/hq5XcGPPF34JpDju7 and only costs $10!

2023 Standards of Learning
2023 Standards of Learning
As the new school year gets underway with the full implementation of the 2023 standards, the state has let us know that resources are being updated. The most recent update to the Instructional Guides (August, 2024) includes the addition of the K-5 Computer Science standards in the Concepts and Connections section and also content updates. New testing blueprints have also been released for both the SOLs and Growth Assessments.

Virginia Department of Education
The Virginia Department of Education, in conjunction with mathematics leaders and teachers, are in the process of developing resources to support educators with the instruction of the 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning. These resources are intended to support mathematics instruction and to inform the development and review of Highly Qualified Instructional Materials (HQIM).
The 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning were approved by the Virginia Board of Education on August 31, 2023. The 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning represent "best in class" standards and comprise the mathematics content that teachers in Virginia are expected to teach and students are expected to learn. The 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning will be fully implemented during the 2024-2025 school year.
These excellent resources, developed by Virginia teachers and mathematics leaders, are designed to help teachers identify students with unfinished learning and assist in planning instruction to fill potential gaps “just in time.” As new content is introduced throughout the school year, teachers can use these Quick Checks to identify and diagnose unfinished learning at grade level and/or to assess understanding of prerequisite knowledge that may be needed to access grade level content.
The resources include three training webinars that support the use of the resources. Each is approximately 45 minutes long, and targets educators in bands K-3; 4-6; and 7-Alg.
Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.
Rich mathematical tasks engage students in sense-making through deeper learning that require high levels of thinking, reasoning, and problem solving. These resources provide support in implementing the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning, and include grade band webinars to assist teachers in implementing rich tasks in both their virtual classrooms and their in-school classrooms. Each webinar is approximately 60 minutes in duration.
This website is the result of a summer project that partnered VDOE and George Mason University. The site provides routines, tasks and games for all the bridging standards K-8 as well as a plethora of other amazing resources.
