How the practice works
The same path every year: find the gap, practice the standard, reteach, and check again.
- August
Diagnose
A readiness check shows what students bring from last year.
- Every day
Spiral
Short daily review keeps earlier standards from fading.
- Each window
Practice
Sets built to the standards each window covers.
- After
Reteach
An intervention closes each gap, one standard at a time.
- Spring
Full-length
A practice test built to the published blueprint.
How an intervention works
A practice set finds the gap. The matching intervention closes it in six parts, for each standard.
- Teacher page: what the standard asks, how students miss it, and what separates approaching from proficient
- Student reteach page: the idea in plain words, one rule, a drawn model, a worked example
- Targeted practice: weighted toward the on-ramp
- Error analysis: one worked solution that is wrong in one named way
- Exit ticket: a short reassessment with fresh items
- Data page: one row per student, from checkpoint score to mastered
How every item is checked
Every item is original. Each one is aligned to a single standard and labeled with its level: Approaching, At or Above Proficiency. The item types follow what each state publishes about its test. Before a set is released, I check every item, answer key and worked solution, and every computable answer is recomputed with exact fraction arithmetic.
Nothing is copied from a state test, a released item, a reference sheet or a scoring guide.
