Fast Path Pacing Guides help you teach Inquisitive on a tighter timeline. They show you how to move through each unit efficiently while still covering the core phenomena and learning goals.
On this page you'll find your Fast Paths (by grade) that show a step-by-step guide for individual units that show which activities to prioritise and how to fit the unit into fewer sessions.
