Show the work

Write the equation you are solving, each step, and the answer with its label or units. A correct answer with no work shown may not earn full credit.

Explain and justify

When a question asks you to explain or justify, say what you did and why it answers the question: name the feature of the graph, the solution that is not reasonable in context, or the comparison you made.

Practice here

Our constructed-response questions break each task into the steps a student shows. Type an answer for each step and it is checked; write an explanation and Mia reads it against its points.
