INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR TECHNOLOGY AND MANIPULATIVES The objectives continue the emphasis on the use of manipulatives, concrete material, and appropriate
technologies to give students the foundation needed to explore new mathematical concepts. West Virginia
teachers are responsible for analyzing the benefits of technology for learning and for integrating technology
appropriately in the students’ learning environment.
The evaluation of all mathematics materials is based on separate criteria for three (3) categories:
Category I: Standards Based Components
Category II: Technology and Manipulatives
Category III: Mathematics Content
In order to be approved and listed on the West Virginia Multiple List for Mathematics Materials, each category
must be evaluated separately.
Category I: Standards Based Components must meet 80% (7/8) of the criteria at “In-depth” and/or
“Adequate.”
Category II: Technology and Manipulatives must also meet 80% (4/5) of the criteria at “In-depth” and/or
“Adequate.”
Category III: Mathematics Content must meet 80% of the criteria at “In-depth” and/or “Adequate” for
each grade level or course.

SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR CONTENT AND SKILLS
EIGHTH GRADEPre-Geometry with Algebra provides an alternative course for students who do not elect to take Algebra I in
the eighth grade or who have not successfully mastered the new skills from Pre-Algebra with Geometry in the
seventh grade. In addition to reinforcing the concepts presented in Pre-Algebra with Geometry, this course
extends problem solving to a more sophisticated level. Students will continue to apply integer operations,
properties, expressions and equations so as to reinforce these concepts in varied applications. Lessons
involving cooperative learning, manipulatives, or technology will strengthen students’ understanding of
concepts while fostering communication and reasoning skills. Calculator use is emphasized for all
mathematical tasks including assessment. West Virginia teachers are responsible for analyzing the benefits of
technology for learning and for integrating technology appropriately in the students’ learning environment.

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR TECHNOLOGY AND MANIPULATIVES The objectives continue the emphasis on the use of manipulatives, concrete material, and appropriate
technologies to give students the foundation needed to explore new mathematical concepts. West Virginia
teachers are responsible for analyzing the benefits of technology for learning and for integrating technology
appropriately in the students’ learning environment.
The evaluation of all mathematics materials is based on separate criteria for three (3) categories:
Category I: Standards Based Components
Category II: Technology and Manipulatives
Category III: Mathematics Content
In order to be approved and listed on the West Virginia Multiple List for Mathematics Materials, each category
must be evaluated separately.
Category I: Standards Based Components must meet 80% (7/8) of the criteria at “In-depth” and/or
“Adequate.”
Category II: Technology and Manipulatives must also meet 80% (4/5) of the criteria at “In-depth” and/or
“Adequate.”
Category III: Mathematics Content must meet 80% of the criteria at “In-depth” and/or “Adequate” for
each grade level or course.

SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR CONTENT AND SKILLS
EIGHTH GRADEPre-Geometry with Algebra provides an alternative course for students who do not elect to take Algebra I in
the eighth grade or who have not successfully mastered the new skills from Pre-Algebra with Geometry in the
seventh grade. In addition to reinforcing the concepts presented in Pre-Algebra with Geometry, this course
extends problem solving to a more sophisticated level. Students will continue to apply integer operations,
properties, expressions and equations so as to reinforce these concepts in varied applications. Lessons
involving cooperative learning, manipulatives, or technology will strengthen students’ understanding of
concepts while fostering communication and reasoning skills. Calculator use is emphasized for all
mathematical tasks including assessment. West Virginia teachers are responsible for analyzing the benefits of
technology for learning and for integrating technology appropriately in the students’ learning environment.

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR TECHNOLOGY AND MANIPULATIVES The objectives continue the emphasis on the use of manipulatives, concrete material, and appropriate
technologies to give students the foundation needed to explore new mathematical concepts. West Virginia
teachers are responsible for analyzing the benefits of technology for learning and for integrating technology
appropriately in the students’ learning environment.
The evaluation of all mathematics materials is based on separate criteria for three (3) categories:
Category I: Standards Based Components
Category II: Technology and Manipulatives
Category III: Mathematics Content
In order to be approved and listed on the West Virginia Multiple List for Mathematics Materials, each category
must be evaluated separately.
Category I: Standards Based Components must meet 80% (7/8) of the criteria at “In-depth” and/or
“Adequate.”

SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR CONTENT AND SKILLS
EIGHTH GRADEPre-Geometry with Algebra provides an alternative course for students who do not elect to take Algebra I in
the eighth grade or who have not successfully mastered the new skills from Pre-Algebra with Geometry in the
seventh grade. In addition to reinforcing the concepts presented in Pre-Algebra with Geometry, this course
extends problem solving to a more sophisticated level. Students will continue to apply integer operations,
properties, expressions and equations so as to reinforce these concepts in varied applications. Lessons
involving cooperative learning, manipulatives, or technology will strengthen students’ understanding of
concepts while fostering communication and reasoning skills. Calculator use is emphasized for all
mathematical tasks including assessment. West Virginia teachers are responsible for analyzing the benefits of
technology for learning and for integrating technology appropriately in the students’ learning environment.

SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR CONTENT AND SKILLS
EIGHTH GRADEPre-Geometry with Algebra provides an alternative course for students who do not elect to take Algebra I in
the eighth grade or who have not successfully mastered the new skills from Pre-Algebra with Geometry in the
seventh grade. In addition to reinforcing the concepts presented in Pre-Algebra with Geometry, this course
extends problem solving to a more sophisticated level. Students will continue to apply integer operations,
properties, expressions and equations so as to reinforce these concepts in varied applications. Lessons
involving cooperative learning, manipulatives, or technology will strengthen students’ understanding of
concepts while fostering communication and reasoning skills. Calculator use is emphasized for all
mathematical tasks including assessment. West Virginia teachers are responsible for analyzing the benefits of
technology for learning and for integrating technology appropriately in the students’ learning environment.

SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR CONTENT AND SKILLS
EIGHTH GRADEPre-Geometry with Algebra provides an alternative course for students who do not elect to take Algebra I in
the eighth grade or who have not successfully mastered the new skills from Pre-Algebra with Geometry in the
seventh grade. In addition to reinforcing the concepts presented in Pre-Algebra with Geometry, this course
extends problem solving to a more sophisticated level. Students will continue to apply integer operations,
properties, expressions and equations so as to reinforce these concepts in varied applications. Lessons
involving cooperative learning, manipulatives, or technology will strengthen students’ understanding of
concepts while fostering communication and reasoning skills. Calculator use is emphasized for all
mathematical tasks including assessment. West Virginia teachers are responsible for analyzing the benefits of
technology for learning and for integrating technology appropriately in the students’ learning environment.
The evaluation of all mathematics materials is based on separate criteria for three (3) categories:

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR TECHNOLOGY AND MANIPULATIVES The objectives continue the emphasis on the use of manipulatives, concrete material, and appropriate
technologies to give students the foundation needed to explore new mathematical concepts. West Virginia
teachers are responsible for analyzing the benefits of technology for learning and for integrating technology
appropriately in the students’ learning environment.
The evaluation of all mathematics materials is based on separate criteria for three (3) categories:
Category I: Standards Based Components
Category II: Technology and Manipulatives
Category III: Mathematics Content
In order to be approved and listed on the West Virginia Multiple List for Mathematics Materials, each category
must be evaluated separately.
Category I: Standards Based Components must meet 80% (7/8) of the criteria at “In-depth” and/or
“Adequate.”
Category II: Technology and Manipulatives must also meet 80% (4/5) of the criteria at “In-depth” and/or

SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR CONTENT AND SKILLS
EIGHTH GRADEPre-Geometry with Algebra provides an alternative course for students who do not elect to take Algebra I in
the eighth grade or who have not successfully mastered the new skills from Pre-Algebra with Geometry in the
seventh grade. In addition to reinforcing the concepts presented in Pre-Algebra with Geometry, this course
extends problem solving to a more sophisticated level. Students will continue to apply integer operations,
properties, expressions and equations so as to reinforce these concepts in varied applications. Lessons
involving cooperative learning, manipulatives, or technology will strengthen students’ understanding of
concepts while fostering communication and reasoning skills. Calculator use is emphasized for all
mathematical tasks including assessment. West Virginia teachers are responsible for analyzing the benefits of
technology for learning and for integrating technology appropriately in the students’ learning environment.
