Teaching with Technology

The hard copies of the 2007 released items have been re-released.  The 2007 items were available awhile back on the DOE Website, disappeared, and are now back!

All released items

2007 Released Items

I have also downloaded the 2007 items to the G drive for your convenience (and in case they disappear again).  Just go to G drive > Common > Released SOL Tests 2007.

The 2007 Items are the same ones that are in the EPATs practice tests.

Just wanted to pass along a website that was mentioned for SOL practice in the 5th grade meeting yesterday.  It came from Mary Hollar at West Salem Elementary.  It’s called www.thatquiz.org, and it has online review problems for Math…including a way to practice with a protractor and a ruler (be careful, though, since the cm ruler on this site starts at the end of the ruler).

There is also an entire page of links that Pam and I have put together to allow you to practice for SOL tests using computers, including released practice tests from prior years (they don’t look exactly like the test, but they are still good practice).  Take a look when you have a chance.  To find it, go to Your school’s homepage>Students>Links for Kids>Your Grade Level>Online Testing Practice or click here.

If you know of anything else that should be added to this page, please, please let me know.  The more ideas and resources we have, the better!! :)
