3	Flex Days with Numbers (ex: FLEX #1)	These days have been strategically placed at the end of most topics within a module.* Use these days to work to solidify any content from the topic that students are struggling with before moving on to the next topic. Students do not need to be completely proficient on all content from the topic before moving on as the content spirals in the module and possibly in future modules. You could also use these days to address other needs you have identified that your students have as related to math. *Module 6 does not have any numbered flex days. This is because the content in this module is typically not from the major work of the grade, and therefore is less important to solidify. Teachers also have less time at this point to react to the data they are gathering.	Timing	For the module assessments, we want to limit the testing period to one class day (except TK and Kindergarten, which have two days per assessment due to the interview style). If students struggle to complete the assessment in time, you may want to give students prompts every 3-10 minutes (depending on the length of the task) to move on to the next problem.
4	Flex Days without Numbers (Ex: FLEX)	These days have been placed at the end of modules to serve as a buffer for lost days inside of the module. Things that could cause lost days are teacher absences, assemblies, field trips, unplanned school closures, etc. If they are not needed, continue on to the next module/lesson so that you can possibly use them later in the year as needed.	Topic Quizzes	Topic Quizzes are included in the curriculum for optional use. Teachers may choose to use topic quizzes in order to gather more data in between module assessments. Time for topic quizzes isn’t specifically held in the pacing guide, so flex days should be used for this purpose. From the Implementation Guide: "Make intentional choices about when to give Topic Quizzes. You might give them right after teaching the lessons in the topic or wait a day or two as students internalize their recent learning."
5	Combined Lessons	Some lessons in the pacing guide are recommended to be combined (example: G1M6L3&4). These lessons often address standards not in the major work of the grade. In these cases, it is up to the teacher's discretion to choose elements from one or both lessons, based on student needs.	Module 6 Assessment	The pacing guide suggests omitting the final Module Assessment of the year in most grades,* as there isn't much time to respond meaningfully to the data before the school year ends. If teachers wish to give this assessment, they may use any flex time remaining. *Kindergarten is an exception, as this data will be useful to share with students' teacher for the following year.
6	General Advice	If you are ahead in the pacing guide for any reason, keep going. You may need that time buffer later. If you fall behind in the pacing guide by more than one week, make adjustments now to catch up (i.e. skip past any numbered flex days; aim to always teach math on minimum days). Seek support if needed to strategize about any additional lessons you may need to skip. However, all lessons in the pacing guide are there for a reason and are foundational to math learning in the next grade, so this outcome is to be avoided if possible.	TK & Kinder Guidance	These grades also include observational assessments. If a student has been observed daily and has met the achievement descriptors assessed in the Module Assessment, then the Module Assessment can be skipped, or that part can be skipped. If a student has not yet shown mastery on certain Achievement Descriptors, then it's necessary to use the Module Assessment with that student for the parts they have not yet mastered.
