Grade Level Combo Pacing Guides

Hi Marie,


I'm so sorry I missed your post back in July. You asked a great question and it deserved a much faster answer.


Combo classes are hard. K/1 and 1/2 are tricky because teachers are planning for two sets of standards at once. HMH Into Math doesn't line up neatly for that either.


How are your teachers doing now that the year is underway? I'd love to hear what has worked and what hasn't.


One idea is to use an AI tool to draft a crosswalk of the K and 1st grade standards, or 1st and 2nd. Then check every match against the Arizona standards and your HMH Into Math scope and sequence. It's a quick way to find overlap, but it needs a careful review before teachers rely on it.


I'd also like to open this up to our AML community. If you have combo class pacing guides, scopes, or frameworks that have worked for you, please share them here. I'll gather what comes in and pull it together so it's easy to find.


Thank you for your patience, and thank you for asking.

And just like that a new year is off and running!


We have some combo classes this year in K/1 and 1/2. Does anyone have combo class pacing guides, scopes, or successful frameworks to guide teachers in these challenging classes? We use HMH Into math, but any guidance is appreciated. Thank you!
