Pojoaque Valley Schools Math Common Core Pacing Guide Introduction The Pojoaque Valley Schools pacing guide documents are intended to guide of Common Core teachers’ use State Standards (CCSS) over the course of an instructional school year. The guides identify the focus standards by quarter. Teachers should understand that the focus standards emphasize deep instruction for that timeframe. However, because a certain quarter does not address specific standards, it should be understood that previously taught standards should be reinforced while working on the focus standards for any designated quarter. Some standards will recur across all quarters due to their importance and need to be addressed on an ongoing basis. The Math pacing guides are grounded in four key components: the key fluency expectations for each grade level, the critical areas designated in the CCSS Math Standards, the Common Core Standards for Mathematics and the integration of the Standards for Mathematical Practice. In planning instruction it is important that math teachers incorporate the 8 mathematical practices for mathematics to ensure that the Common Core standards are mastered by all students. The Math CCSS pacing guides contain the following elements: Grade Level: Identify the grade level of the intended standard Standard with code: Defines the knowledge and skills for students. The code contains the grade level, domain and standard number. Domain: Larger groups of related standards. Standards from different domains may sometimes be closely related. Cluster: Summarize groups of related standards. Skills and Knowledge: Identified as subsets of the standard and appear in one or more quarters. Define the skills and knowledge embedded in the standard to meet the full intent of the standard itself. Version 2 of the Pojoaque Valley School District Pacing guides for Reading Language Arts and Mathematics are based on the done by staff and teachers of the school district using the Kentucky model, and a synthesis of the excellent work done by Wisconsin Cooperative Educational Service Agency 7 (CESA 7) School Improvement Services, Green Bay, WI. (2010), Standards Insight project. was developed to give educators a tool for in depth investigation of the Common Core Standards Insight State Standards (CCSS). The CCSS are or dissected, identifying specific knowledge, skills, “unpacked” vocabulary, understandings, and evidence of student attainment for each standard. Standards Insight
