Math Pacing Guides

One of the needs we have seen in our system is a set of “pacing guides” to help insure that prior to the spring testing students have been taught all of the standards on which they will be tested. Teachers at each level helped to compose a pacing guide for math. Those are now ready for you to download and begin using.

To download the pacing guides, click here. If you are asked for a password, just click “cancel.” The only stimulation is that they must be downloaded from a computer within the school system.

You could also get there by doing the following:

1. Go to teachtalladega.blogspot.com
2. Click on the link on the right-hand side of the screen that takes you to the downloadable documents.
3. You will see a folder labeled "Curriculum"
4. Inside that is a folder for the pacing guides.
   
   On the first page, you will see a simple calendar that gives you a place where you should try to be at the end of each month. It’s easier to have little goals along the way than to try and cover too much ground just before the test.
   
   The following pages give you the sequence in which the standards and bullets are taught. You will see pages or lessons where those skills are taught or reinforced. You also have a place to enter other resources you find to help teach that skill. There is even a place where you can record that you taught that skill.
   
   Nothing in these pacing guides is set in stone. Use this tool. Put it through its paced. You will probably find corrections you feel should be made. The beauty of this is that because it is kept in a digital format, we can take your input, update the pacing guides this summer, and have a fresh copy posted and available for you to download.
