Where are the suggested/sample pacing guides for the North Carolina Mathematics Standard Course of Study?

There is not now and has never been a state-suggested pacing guide for mathematics. Collaborative creation of such a guide by experienced teachers is an excellent staff development activity that not only draws upon the expertise of teachers but also serves as an affirmation of their experience. This office has shared sample pacing guides with teachers to illustrate the various forms these guides can take. At the end of the Week-by-Week Essentials you will find the guide we used to organize these materials. This should not be considered a suggested pacing guide for schools but does help teachers locate the order in which the Week-by-Week Essentials are arranged.
