The interaction has been updated to a more common design that aligns to the standard interaction used by screen reader users. Now, when students navigate into a multiple choice field, the radio button given focus by the Screen Reader will automatically be selected. Students can use the space bar to remove the selection.
A screen reader is a software application, separate from text-to-speech embedded in TestNav, which conveys web content through audio. Screen readers are appropriate for students who are trained to use the software and who use it in the classroom, including those who are blind or have a visual impairment.
Hi Tam, it is frustrating and I am 100% in agreement that a lot of the requirements are not developmentally appropriate, too critical, and often nit-picky. To clarify, I would never require my students to justify every answer they give. However, the ability to justify and explain answers is a powerful tool to develop in all of our students. The ability to think about math in this way is what really helps our students have a deep understanding of math and allows them to compete with the students in those elite private schools you mention. However, with everything a balance is needed.

The online Sample Item Sets are a select group of test items in ELA, mathematics, science, and social studies that encompass different item types, such as multiple choice, constructed response, and various kinds of technology-enhanced items. The sets provide students, teachers, and parents practice in solving grade-level and content-specific test items aligned to Michigan's academic content standards.
The B.E.S.T. Transition Guide for Mathematics provides educators with an overview of major changes in mathematical concepts within the courses incorporating the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.).
Below you can find documents that provide information for the intentional progression of the standards by grade band (K-5, 6-8 and 9-12) and by strand. These are intended to provide mathematics educators with an overview of the standards progression of the B.E.S.T. Standards for Mathematics.
The full experience and value of eMATHinstruction courses are achieved when units and lessons are followed in order. Students learn skills in earlier units that they will then build upon later in the course. Lessons can be used in isolation but are most effective when used in conjunction with the other lessons in this course. All Lesson/Homework files, Spanish translations of those files, and videos are available for free. Other resources, such as answer keys and more, are accessible with a paid membership.
Each month August through May we release new resources for this course that are accessible with a Teacher Plus membership. We release new resources in unit order throughout the school year. You can see a list of our new releases by visiting our blog and selecting the most recent newsletter.
WHY. We are a small, independent publisher founded by a math teacher and his wife. We believe in the value we bring to teachers and schools, and we want to keep doing it. We keep our prices low so all teachers and schools can benefit from our products and services. We ask that you help us in our mission by reading and following these rules and those in our Single User License Agreement.
DISPUTES. If we have a dispute that we cannot resolve on our own, we will use mediation before filing a lawsuit in a regular court (except that we can use small claims court). Mediation means we will each present our case to one or more professional mediators who are chosen and paid by all parties to the dispute, and the mediator(s) will work with us to find a fair resolution of our dispute. Mediation is a faster and less formal way of resolving disputes and therefore tends to cost less.
Thank you for using eMATHinstruction materials. In order to continue to provide high quality mathematics resources to you and your students we respectfully request that you do not post this or any of our files on any website. Doing so is a violation of copyright. Using these materials implies you agree to our terms and conditions and single user license agreement.

The first step in the Answer Groups workflow is selecting the type of question. Four question types are currently supported: Manually Grouped, Multiple Choice, Math Fill-in-the-blank, and Text Fill-in-the-blank.
Questions where students fill in bubbles or check squares. We do not currently support questions of circle-the-right-choice variety. There must be clear mark areas, and they must be clearly selected by the student (no half-filled bubbles). Students should use an ink pen to select the mark areas for maximum clarity.
Gradescope AI is able to read student handwriting of English-language text and of math notation (including fractions, integral signs, etc.). The main constraint is for the student answer to be on just one line, which is most easily enforced by providing a clear box or underscored area in the assignment template, as in the two examples below. You can adjust the final answer area by clicking Final Answer Area from the question type selection page.
On the Review Groups page, you will see an image of one of the responses within the group, the group name, and how many student submissions are in that group. You can edit the group name or delete the group by hovering over the group with your mouse and clicking the Rename or Delete (and Ungroup Answers) buttons.
If there is a specific part of the question region that you would like to group the answers by, you can indicate the answer region by clicking Final Answer Area at the top of the page. Changing the final answer area will reprocess the submissions and update the groups.
Click on the image for your first group to review the answers in that group. If all of the answers within the group look the same, click Confirm & Review Next Group in the bottom action bar. If some answer does not belong in the group, click on it, or press the space bar while hovering over it. You can quickly navigate between answers by using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
If you find that two or more proposed groups have the same answer, you can click Merge to merge the groups. Select the groups you want to merge and then click Merge Selected in the bottom action bar.
Repeat this process until all groups have been reviewed. If you realize you made a mistake, you can go back and re-review a group by clicking View Groups in the bottom action bar, or by using the back button in your browser.
You will see the ungrouped answers on the left and a list of the groups (if any) on the right. You can create a new group at any time by clicking Create a Group in the upper right corner. Click on the Edit button below an existing group to delete the group, edit its title, or merge it with another group.
You can add ungrouped answers to a group by clicking and dragging, or by clicking on each answer and then clicking on the group. Note that you may add multiple answers to a group at a time. You can select all answers by clicking Select All in the bottom action bar.
You can also use keyboard shortcuts to speed up the process of manually grouping answers. Use the N key to create a new group. Use the arrow keys to jump between ungrouped answers. Use the space bar to select or deselect an answer. Use the number key on your keyboard that corresponds to the group number to assign the answer(s) to an existing group.
The grading interface for grading by group is very similar to the regular grading interface, which our Grading section explains below. In this section, we explain the differences that Group Grading introduces.
Note that any comments you make in the comment box below the rubric will automatically apply to all students in the group. However, the annotation tools should not be used when grading groups, since the annotation would only apply to the sample submission that appears for the group.
If you would instead like to apply the regrade to the entire group of submissions, simply open the regrade request and then click Grade the whole group instead at the top of the page. Your changes apply to all submissions in that group, except for submissions that were graded individually.
Most fifth graders find reasoning questions to be the most difficult. Unsurprisingly, we teach thousands of students in the weeks leading up to standardized tests. Teaching them math reasoning skills at the elementary level is a big part of what we do here at Third Space Learning.
