ABC Algebra 1 Pacing Guide (A-G) Pacing is based on 16 weeks of study. The 17th week will be the week of the Final. A-G students will use the Virtual Text or the Recommended Curriculum and take a proctored final. General Ed students may use the virtual text or alternate curriculum and follow the pacing titled “concepts” These students will take open book assessments and finals
