Everything a chapter ships for teachers sits on one page. Press Resources in the sidebar under Classroom. You can also reach a single chapter's materials from Lessons: open a chapter and a Teacher resources row appears with buttons straight into Guide, Slideshows, Worksheets, Questions, and Glossary. That row shows up only for chapters whose teacher pack has been published.
Start on the landing page#
Teacher resources has two sections. Chapter resources lists every chapter with a published pack, each row captioned "Guide, question banks, worksheets, glossary, and slides". If you see No teacher packs yet, no pack has been imported for your account yet.
Your worksheets lists the worksheets and templates you have made, each labeled with its revision number, with Open My files and New from a preset next to the heading. Before you make one it reads No saved worksheets.
Open a chapter's pack#
The chapter page is titled with the chapter's own name and carries Print at the top right. If the chapter has more than one release, a dropdown appears beside it listing Release 1, Release 2, and so on, so you can look at an older version of the pack. A chapter with no pack shows No teacher pack for this chapter yet.
Five tabs run across the page: Guide, Questions, Worksheet presets, Glossary, and Decks and sub-kits.
Read the chapter guide#
The Guide tab opens with the chapter overview: what the chapter teaches and why, what earlier chapters it leans on and what to patch if your class skipped them, the teaching cautions specific to this material, how mastery and coins work on the platform, and the classroom safety rules for the chapter.
Below that, Lesson timeline is a table with one row per planned 50-minute lesson and four columns: Lesson (its number, title, and whether it is Core or Optional), Mode, Slides, and Time. A lesson whose mode includes "platform" is one students spend working on their own devices.
Each lesson then gets its own block under the table. Collect or check says what you should have in hand by the end of the period. Prerequisite names what the lesson assumes. If ahead and If behind give you the material to add or cut. Do now and Exit ticket print the prompts in place, so you can read one straight off the screen. Under those come the teaching notes for each article and lab in the lesson: a plain-language account of the content at adult level, the misconceptions students bring, likely student questions with answers, pronunciation for terms you will say aloud, timing with cut lines, and for each lab what students should discover and how to unstick them.
Search the question banks#
Every question in the chapter is a record with its answer, and the Questions tab is where you browse them. Two buttons at the top choose which pool you are looking at, Worksheet bank or Assessment bank.
The two pools are kept apart on purpose. Worksheet items are practice, and some of them deliberately extend an example students already saw in the articles. Assessment items are for quizzes and tests you build yourself, they never reuse the numbers or scenarios from the course's own quizzes and unit tests, and they never include those extend-the-example items. Keeping them separate is what stops a question a class practiced on from turning up on a test.
Six controls narrow the list. The search box matches prompt text. All lessons filters to one lesson from this chapter. The Concept tag box matches a tag. All types covers multiple choice, true or false, short answer, extended response, compute, and draw or annotate. All difficulties offers three levels. Recall asks a student to state or recognize something taught, Application asks them to run a taught method on a fresh instance, and Analysis asks them to judge, compare, or diagnose using taught concepts. All uses filters by what the item was written for: Worksheet, Assessment, Do now, Exit ticket, or Sub-kit.
A count sits above the results. Each item shows its id, its type, its difficulty and its point value, then the prompt. Show answer and grading support opens the answer, which for a multiple-choice item is the correct option, for an extended response is the rubric or checklist, and for a draw item is what must be present.
QTI export downloads the pool you are currently viewing as a zip file that many learning management systems can import. It works on a published release only. Whether your system accepts the file depends on the system, so try one small pool first.
Turn a preset into your own worksheet#
Each lesson comes with a recommended worksheet assembled from the worksheet bank. The Worksheet presets tab lists them by lesson, and the heading above them says that using a preset creates your own editable copy. Pressing Use preset opens that copy in the worksheet builder, and it belongs to you. The published preset stays as it was, so you can always start again from it. Building and assigning a worksheet is covered in the next part of this guide.
Search and print the glossary#
The Glossary tab is the chapter's terms with one agreed definition each, pronunciation where it is not obvious, and the other names a term goes by. The search box matches terms, aliases, and definitions, and the row of letter buttons filters by first letter, with All to clear it. A count tells you how many of the chapter's terms you are looking at.
Print gives you the printable word wall, which students can keep out during
labs. CSV export downloads the same entries as glossary.csv with a column
each for the term, pronunciation, aliases, and definition.
Download slides and substitute kits#
Unit resources has one row per unit. Slides downloads that unit's deck, which is yours to edit. Speaker notes downloads the presenter notes as a text file. Teacher kit and Student kit download the unit's substitute lesson as markdown, in two packets: the student packet has the reading, the discussion questions, and a worksheet with no answers anywhere, and the teacher packet adds facilitation notes, answer sketches, and grading support. The substitute lesson is device-free and needs no logins, so a substitute with no background in the subject can run the period from paper.
Save to My files puts any of the three into your own file drive instead of your downloads folder: the slide deck, or either kit as an editable note. A green bar confirms it with Open My files on it.
What this page does not do#
- It does not assign anything to a class. Assigning happens from Lessons, and worksheets are assigned from the worksheet builder.
- It does not show student work or student names. Nothing here is per student.
- It does not show the pack's validation report. That check runs when a pack is imported and is not surfaced to teachers.
- It does not let you edit the chapter guide, the question banks, or the glossary. Your edits happen in the copies you make: a worksheet from a preset, a deck you download, a kit saved as a note.
- Presets and banks do not change under you. A new release appears as another entry in the release dropdown, and your copies stay as you left them.
