Patterns at the mean, word problems below it. Say exactly where reasoning breaks.

Enter the reasoning scores the way the report gives them. The summary puts them on one scale, separates pattern reasoning from quantity reasoning, and checks both against classwork.

?find the rule, then use it
Drawn for this page. Fluid reasoning is working out a rule you have not been taught, then using it.

How to use it

  1. Write the team’s question in a sentence or two.
  2. Enter each score as the report prints it, with its metric and interval.
  3. Tag matrix and pattern tasks as finding the rule, number series and balances as quantitative.
  4. Add classroom evidence and how the student handled the hardest items.
  5. Read the flags before you write the report.

What the organizer does

What fluid reasoning covers

Fluid reasoning is solving problems that cannot be answered from what was taught: spotting a rule in a pattern, reasoning about quantities, and following a chain of if-then steps. Each task leans on these differently, so tag each score with the part it measures.

How the student worked

A student who answers before checking every choice, or stops when items get hard, can score low for reasons other than reasoning. The organizer keeps the approach beside the scores.

What it is not

It holds no norms, gives no descriptive labels and decides no eligibility or diagnosis. Supports listed are ideas for the team to weigh.
