Pacing Guide - Math Kindergarten - Gaston County Schools

Kindergarten Mathematics Resource & Pacing Guide Overview 

…Putting it all Together! 

Objectives: The North Carolina Standard Course of Study for mathematics is listed in this column. It determines the curriculum and assessments for each grade level. 

Students Should Be Able To: This section gives a detailed description of the concepts that are included for each objective in the NC Standard Course of Study. Broad objectives leave many 

teachers questioning if they have taught all concepts that need to be covered. The detailed descriptions promote comprehensive planning for teaching and assessing students. 

DPI Strategies: These activities are designed for introducing math concepts. They are kinesthetic in nature and promote a deeper understanding for each objective. Teachers are highly 

encouraged to introduce new concepts with these lessons before utilizing the textbook. In addition, these activities can be revisited for tutoring students. 

Textbook: This column paces the blended program to assure that instruction is aligned with the NC Standard Course of Study. To optimize understanding of concepts, the topics from enVision 

and the units from Investigations have been strategically placed. It is important to keep the standard course of study in mind when teaching the topic/units that are listed in this column. In rare 

cases you may discover an objective that needs additional attention for mastery. 

Week By Week: This document was designed to be used as a spiraling review. The column documents the number of times each objective is addressed in the Week By Week Essentials. 

Lessons 1-9 are designated to occur during the first quarter, lessons 10-18 during the second quarter, lessons 19-27 during the third quarter, and lessons 28-36 during the fourth quarter. These 

lessons can be revisited and adapted for additional review, tutoring, and/or assessing students. 

Performance Assessments: This section includes assessments, provided by DPI, to measure student comprehension of the NC Standard Course of Study for Mathematics. These assessments 

can be used in various settings to evaluate student progress and determine appropriate instruction. Ongoing assessments are recommended to assure that instruction is meeting the needs of 

students. 

Key Mathematics Vocabulary: The vocabulary, listed in this section, builds a foundation for understanding and mastering the NC Standard Course of Study for each grade level. 

Understanding these terms will facilitate math discussions and math journals which promotes comprehension and mastery of the objectives. 

Readers for Math Integration: The books listed in this column offer opportunities to integrate reading selections with math concepts. These books can stimulate a desire for students to utilize 

and master mathematical concepts. The reading selections reinforce the importance of math concepts in every day life. These short stories can be used as guided reading before or after the math 

concepts are taught.
