Interaction Checks
Real-world scenarios that test how math concepts combine. Can you spot when ideas work together — and when they don't?
What are Interaction Checks?
Most assessments test concepts in isolation — one question per idea. Interaction Checks are different: they present realistic scenarios where two or more math concepts must be used together. This reveals whether a student truly understands each concept or has only memorized surface-level procedures.
For example, a student might correctly convert fractions to decimals and correctly calculate percentages in separate exercises, but struggle when a word problem requires both skills at once. Interaction Checks surface exactly these gaps — the places where understanding is fragile and likely to break under real-world conditions.
Each check is tagged with the specific concepts it tests and graded as "safe" (solid understanding) or "risky" (needs review). Over time, the weakness report highlights which concepts appear most often in risky answers, giving you a focused path for review.
How to use the results
A risky result does not mean a student knows nothing. It usually means the concepts are understood separately but not yet coordinated under pressure. That is the point where targeted review has the highest value.
After each check, go back to the linked concepts, compare pages, or mistake guides that match the breakdown. The goal is to repair the interaction, not to grind through unrelated extra problems.
