Ashland District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
Hanover County Public Schools hold high expectations for each of their students. They are able to meet these goals by basing their curriculum on the Virginia Standards of Learning. Beyond the core academics, elective programs and extracurriculars allow students to connect their learning to other pursuits of personal interest.
We currently cover the following Ashland-area school district: Hanover County Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Ashland District Curriculum
The Math curriculum at Hanover County Public Schools begins with students learning about counting objects in a set, making sure to give each object a separate number. After these students master this skill, they move on to addition and subtraction of objects. This leads on to learning how to create large numbers, fractions, or decimals of numbers. By the time the students graduate from school they have enough confidence to face problems that may face them in their future.
Children begin to learn writing skills, in Hanover County Public Schools, by practicing in a number of different ways. The children may trace letters in sand, salt or shaving cream, in addition to writing them out on paper. These children also learn how to join letters together to create words, and how to write complete sentences to share an idea. As they build this skill, they also learn about the different types of sentences there are and how they each convey a different feeling.

Chalk Talk: Four-Step Problem Solving
As children go through life, they are faced with a variety of problems. Whether it is solving an equation in mathematics, or in making a choice in everyday life, there are step that they can go through to solve these problems. The first step involves understanding the problem. This involves defining what is being asked, and seeing if additional information is needed. Next step calls for coming up with a plan. The plan may involve using manipulatives, guess and check or other strategies that the child will develop over time. The third step is to follow through on the plan. If one does not work, the child may need to try another until they come up with an answer that is logical. Step four is to look back and make sure that the answer is reasonable, are all of the conditions or requirements met and is there more than one answer. With these four steps in their toolkit of learning strategies students will be armed to solve most problems they come upon within their lives.
