I created this sheet to go along with the SRA Connecting Math Concepts presentation slides I created and to go along with the Level A Connecting Math Concepts presentation book so that the student doesn't need to see all the teacher information on the assessment page.

I read the teacher instructions in the presentation book as I present the slides and worksheet.
