I drove right into that greenside sand trap. Worked out for me.

Very nice. Tell them they are welcome to reach out to me to let me know how it goes... good or bad (but probably good, if we did our job designing them!).

DESE has created Missouri Instructional Testlets that can give teachers more rapid-fire feedback on their students progress and give students some experience with the state testing platform.

Paul found the good sand... over on his own thread.

So moving in the right direction but a long way to go, still.

DIFFICULT ITEMS for Missouri students:
Make new rectangle with same perimeter but diff area

Calculating percents and means

Factoring

Logarithms

Data plots

Thoughts on state-level math data from #Interface in Missouri:

All grades dipped in math proficiency after COVID. Middle school has recovered and surpassed pre-COVID levels, but elementary math has not yet fully recovered.

Alg1, Geometry, and Alg2 are trending upward.

Stupid. I should've done the 3rd one 2nd, for sure.
