Math Pacing Guides
Math Resources
Pacing guides are available in the curriculum share folder.
Grades K-2 pacing guides reflect the implementation of CCSS for the 2011-2012 school year. Grades 3-8 pacing includes a CCSS unit to fill gaps before implemention in 2012-2013. This CCSS unit will follow Benchmark testing and the last TLI module test per grade.

Mathematics
We believe...
We believe mathematics prepares students to use patterns and relationships to discover the connections between mathematical concepts and their application to real-world models. Using effective and efficient strategies, students make decisions, select tools, solve problems, and communicate their understanding of mathematical concepts.
Common Core and Math
Grades K-2 will be implementing Common Core Math Standards during the 2011-2012 school year.
