Math 6 Extended Prince William County Schools Pacing Guide 2017-2018 (Crosswalk) Teacher focus groups have assigned a given number of days to each unit based on their experiences and knowledge of the curriculum. It is recommended that teachers stay as close as possible to the pacing guidelines to ensure that all of the have been taught prior to the SOL Test, and that, as students move within the Division, their math instruction remains consistent. Ongoing review should occur throughout the year. Teachers may find the full wording of the objectives, along with the essential knowledge and skills to be learned, in the Unit Plans. These documents are available on the Math Web site at http://goo.gl/7huce0. Unit plans created by the Teacher Focus Groups provide suggestions for learning experiences as well as resources to support instruction.
