You're a math teacher, and you typically have students solve a number of word problems on your quizzes.

In addition to ensuring to the extent possible that your students understand the content that will be assessed on the standardized test, describe what you should do to best

prepare your students to succeed using this format?

What will be an ideal response?


To ensure to the extent possible that your students are able to perform successfully with a multiple-choice format, you should provide them with practice using the format. For instance, you can give them problems to solve as you always do on your quizzes and tests and then give them four answer choices, one of which is correct, and the distractors being answers that reflect the most common errors students make.
