Analyze the ProbeReview the probe prior to assigning it to your students.
In this probe, students estimate the size of each quotient, without calculating. Exercises involve division with decimals.
Targeted Concept Reason about the value of numbers and understand the effects of division given those values.
Targeted Misconceptions• Students may apply the whole number concept of “division makes quantities smaller”. • Students may have inaccuracies about the value of decimal numbers.
Assign the probe after Lesson 2.

Example: The student chooses a combination of these answers, because the quotient is greater than the dividend.
Various patterns of incorrect responses
applies incorrect reasoning about either the size of the decimal or the effect of the operation; and/or incorrectly applies an algorithm.
Example: The student chooses c for Exercise 1 by incorrectly reasoning that dividing by one half is the same as dividing a quantity half and option c is the closest answer to half of 31.

135b Module 3 • Operations with Integers
Analyze the ProbeReview the probe prior to assigning it to your students.
In this probe, students will determine whether each simplified expression is positive or not, without actually calculating.
Targeted Concept Determining whether the result is positive or negative involves understanding the effects of integer addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Targeted Misconceptions• Students may overgeneralize or mix up the rules governing rational number operations.• Students may think that when opposites are multiplied or divided, the result is zero.• Explanations are ambiguous. For example, students may indicate “two negatives is
always a positive” without specifying for which operations.
Assign the probe after Lesson 4.

543b Module 10 • Polynomials
Collect and Assess Student Answers
Take ActionAfter the Probe Design a plan to address any possible misconceptions. You may wish to assign the following resources.
• Polynomial Expressions• Lesson 10-4, Learn, Examples 1-3
Revisit the probe at the end of the module to be sure that your students no longer carry these misconceptions.
If the student selects these responses...
Then the student likely...
Student 1: yes incorrectly distributes the power treating the binomial like a monomial. They are following the pattern of (xy)2 = x2y2.
Student 2: yes is overgeneralizing about the meaning of the parentheses using multiplication to distribute the power, following the pattern of 2(x + y) = 2x + 2y.
Student 3: yes believes that their answer needs to be simplified to one term and combines all numbers and variables.
Student 4: no Is not recognizing the equivalent form of the trinomial due to one of the misconceptions described above. These students often do not understand where the linear (middle) term comes from.
Analyze the ProbeReview the probe prior to assigning it to your students.
In this probe, students will determine whether four students expanded (x + y)2 correctly and explain their choices.
Targeted Concepts Squaring a binomial means multiplying the binomial by itself.
Targeted Misconceptions• Students may not understand that squaring a binomial means that the binomial is
multiplied by itself and instead multiply by 2.• Students may incorrectly expand a squared binomial by overgeneralizing from work with
squaring monomials or multiplying a monomial with a binomial.• Students may not recognize a trinomial as the result of expanding a squared binomial.Use the Probe after Lesson 10-4. Correct Answers:

In this probe, students will determine whether pairs of triangles are congruent and explain.
Targeted Concepts Understand the information needed to prove triangle congruence.
Targeted Misconceptions• Students struggle to connect corresponding sides of triangles with different orientation.• When using the Side-Angle-Side Postulate, students do not check to make sure that the
angle is the included angle.• When using AAS, students do not check that the congruent sides are corresponding.• Students sometimes see congruence marks, but do not consider whether the segments
of one triangle are congruent to segments of another triangle.• Students transfer the AA Similarity Postulate to congruent triangles.• Students only consider using the Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem and not the Side-Angle-Side
Postulate in right triangles and/or not consider using HL as it follows SSA in nonright triangles.
Use the Probe after Lesson 5-6.
If the student selects these responses…
Then the student likely...
1. no or not enough information
4. no or not enough information
does not recognize that HL and/or SAS can be used with right triangles. In item 1, students overgeneralize that SSA cannot be used with nonright triangles and only look for HL in Item 4.
2. yes or no does not recognize that the congruency marks compare segments of individual triangles.
3. yes or not enough information
does not notice that the congruent sides are not corresponding sides.
5. yes does not recognize that both angles are not included angles.
5. no is not considering that the other missing side could also be 15.
6. yes is confusing similarity with congruence.
6. no Is not considering that the corresponding sides could be congruent.

Cheryl Tobey Math Probe Solving Exponential Equations © McGraw‐Hill Education
Cheryl Tobey Math Probe Solving Exponential Equations Three students were discussing how to solve 42x + 1 = 8x + 6. Which student do you think is correct?
Circle yes or no. Explain your choice.
Sadie’s Solution:
42x + 1 = 8x + 6
2x + 1 = x + 6
x = 5 yes no
Stefan’s Solution:
42x + 1 = 8x + 6
42x + 1 = 2 4x + 6
2x + 1 = 2(x + 6)
2x + 1 = 2x + 12
1 ≠ 12
Therefore, no solution. yes no
Wen’s Solution:
42x + 1 = 8x + 6
(22)2x + 1 = (23)x + 6
4x + 2 = 3x + 18
x = 16 yes no
