Mathematics Pacing Guide for Grade 1

The purpose of this pacing guide is to give teachers a tool to help them ensure that state standards and their accompanying bullets are being taught. The pacing guide accomplished this goal by:

1)  Providing an alignment of the textbook to state standards. The teacher can see where in the textbook particular standards and bullets are taught.

2)  Providing an approximate sequence in which standards will be taught. This document gives teachers their year at-a-glance.

3)  Providing a spot for the teacher to notate other resources he/she has identified. Good teachers know that while the textbook is an essential tool, no textbook is specifically written to teach Alabama standards. Therefore, teachers bring in other resources. This pacing guide gives the teacher a place to record titles of stories, addresses of websites, or other materials.

4)  Providing a place where the teacher can document the date a specific standard or bullet was taught. Teachers are required by law to teach the Alabama State Course of Study. One column on this pacing guide provides a convenient place for recording pertinent dates.

5)  Providing the teacher with intermediate goals. For students taking the ARMT, we know that standards need to have been taught and mastered by the time of the test. For other students, those standards and their related bullets taught and standards mastered by year’s end. Having intermediate goals of where the class needs to be on monthly basis helps teachers avoid a crunch of having to cover too much just prior to test or end of the year.

This pacing guide is a work in progress. While each teacher is being given a hard copy, it is also being maintained in electronic format and can be updated based on the suggestions of our teachers.

The following calendar is intended to provide a framework for helping teachers work through the lessons at a pace that will allow them to teach all standards prior to testing and bullets prior to the end of the school year:
