Check independent transfer
See this course’s project requirements
A 15-minute peer-tutoring plan with a learning goal, error diagnosis, hint ladder, feedback script, transfer check, and evidence log.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Define the academic goal and an independent-work boundary.
- Distinguish the concept error from the arithmetic slip.
- Provide a three-level hint ladder and specific feedback script.
- Check the new task and document any support used.
- Assemble a timed session plan, evidence log, and next step.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- Prompts address the observed misconception.
- Hints preserve a meaningful task for the learner.
- Feedback names actions and respects processing time.
- The log distinguishes assisted performance from independent transfer.

The idea in everyday life
After supported notebook practice, Sam receives ungraded snack cases: pack C costs $6 for 8 bars; pack D costs $4.50 for 5 bars. No hints are allowed on the first attempt. Sam writes C: $0.75/bar; D: $0.90/bar; chooses C. A second case is 3 pens for $5.40 versus 4 pens for $7.60.
Remove the hint, change the surface details, and ask the learner to explain the method.
Check independent transfer: guided practice
Remove the hint, change the surface details, and ask the learner to explain the method.
Use paper or a free local text editor. This is an original fictional practice case; do not submit its records to a real service. Start this lesson with these facts, even if an earlier variation changed them. After supported notebook practice, Sam receives ungraded snack cases: pack C costs $6 for 8 bars; pack D costs $4.50 for 5 bars. No hints are allowed on the first attempt. Sam writes C: $0.75/bar; D: $0.90/bar; chooses C. A second case is 3 pens for $5.40 versus 4 pens for $7.60.
1. State conditions
Record that this first transfer attempt is ungraded and unassisted.
You should see: New items, same unit-price skill, no initial hints.
Clear conditions make the evidence interpretable.
2. Check the work
Verify Sam’s bar calculations and choice.
You should see: 6 ÷ 8 = 0.75; 4.50 ÷ 5 = 0.90; C is cheaper per bar.
An independent answer still needs numerical checking.
3. Ask for explanation
Use Sam’s explanation: “I divided dollars by bars so both prices describe one bar.”
You should see: The explanation matches the unit-price concept.
Reasoning reduces the chance that a correct answer was a guess.
4. Try a second transfer
Calculate the pen prices and compare without using previous answers.
You should see: 3-pack: $1.80/pen; 4-pack: $1.90/pen; 3-pack cheaper per pen.
A changed case offers another limited piece of evidence, not a guarantee forever.
What to finish
Check independent transfer record with the worked decisions and changed-case check.
Watch for this
Declaring mastery after the learner repeats the same example.
How can I tell I understand it?
Use a new unassisted task to distinguish supported success from transfer. Explain the evidence behind the result and correct any mismatch.
