1 of 5 assessed skills demonstrated on this check; 1 awaiting teacher review.
This report describes what Jordan showed on this check, skill by skill. "Demonstrated" means every independent item on that skill was answered correctly here — it is a supported claim about observed performance, not a verdict about a course. Only independent answers count; "not sure" answers and reasoning awaiting review are shown separately and never counted as mastery.

Skill by skill
Number-line meaning of integers
Signed numbers · SN.NL.MEAN
Every independent item on this skill was answered correctly on this check (not a claim about the whole course).
Evidence: 3 independent items: 3 correct, 0 errors.
Direction and order on the number line
Signed numbers · SN.NL.DIR
Mostly right with at least one error on independent items. A short lesson or review, then a fresh check.
Evidence: 5 independent items: 3 correct, 2 errors.
Errors looked like: treated the number farther from 0 as the greater one, ignoring its sign; moved in the wrong direction on the number line.
Opposites and absolute value
Signed numbers · SN.OPP
Independent answers show this skill is not secure yet. Instruction comes first, then a fresh check.
Evidence: 4 independent items: 1 correct, 3 errors · 1 "not sure yet" (recorded as not-sure, not counted).
Errors looked like: kept the negative sign inside an absolute value.
Adding integers
Signed numbers · SN.INT.ADD
Independent answers show this skill is not secure yet. Instruction comes first, then a fresh check.
Evidence: 3 independent items: 0 correct, 3 errors.
Errors looked like: subtracted the sizes and kept the first sign when both signs were the same; added the sizes when the signs were different; gave the result the sign of the first number instead of the number farther from 0.
Subtracting integers
Signed numbers · SN.INT.SUB
Too few independent answers to say — or an answer is waiting for teacher review. A short fresh check will settle it.
Evidence: 5 independent items: 1 correct, 4 errors · 1 awaiting teacher review.
Errors looked like: got the size right but the sign wrong; subtracted the sizes and kept the first sign when both signs were the same; treated subtracting a negative as subtracting a positive; rewrote a − b as a + b instead of a + (−b).
Recommended next
- Direction and order on the number line — lesson: Left and right: direction and order
Why: Developing — 3 of 5 independent items correct on the readiness check (Oct 23, 2026). Errors looked like: treated the number farther from 0 as the greater one, ignoring its sign; moved in the wrong direction on the number line. - Opposites and absolute value — lesson: Opposites and absolute value
Why: Needs Support — 1 of 4 independent items correct on the readiness check (Oct 23, 2026); 1 marked "not sure yet". Errors looked like: kept the negative sign inside an absolute value. - Adding integers — lesson: Adding integers: jumps and zero pairs
Why: Needs Support — 0 of 3 independent items correct on the readiness check (Oct 23, 2026). Errors looked like: subtracted the sizes and kept the first sign when both signs were the same; added the sizes when the signs were different; gave the result the sign of the first number instead of the number farther from 0. - Subtracting integers — short fresh check
Why: More Evidence Needed — 1 of 5 independent items correct on the readiness check (Oct 23, 2026); 1 response awaiting teacher review. Errors looked like: got the size right but the sign wrong; subtracted the sizes and kept the first sign when both signs were the same; treated subtracting a negative as subtracting a positive; rewrote a − b as a + b instead of a + (−b). A short fresh check (new items) will settle it.

About an overall "ready for Algebra 1" statement
This prototype assesses one pathway (signed numbers). It does not — and by rule cannot — make an overall Algebra 1 readiness claim. That statement stays switched off until every essential skill in the map is published and the teacher has approved the evidence rules.
