Ten lessons can feel like ten separate tricks. They aren't; every one of them fits into the plan from the very first lesson.
Not started yet.
Bring the ten Unit 1 lessons together under the four-step plan from U1-L1, check which tools hold, and find the ones that need a second read.
This is a diagnostic, not a test. Every question's hint names the lesson to reopen, so a wrong answer is a pointer rather than a grade.
Read the review through once, then do the questions. For every miss, open the lesson the hint names and read just the section it points to, then come back.
If the student misses two or more questions from the same step, that step is the one to re-teach before Unit 2 starts.
🚨 The two most common misses in this unit are reading 3⁴ as 3 x 4, and doing addition before multiplication in an expression like 3 + 7 x 4 - 6. Both come from working left to right without checking the order.
The Examine step gets skipped more than any other. If the student gets an answer and stops, ask what it should have been about, before looking at the answer key.
