One of the questions has the word pyramids misspelled? It just simply asks, "How many pyrimids do you see?"
3D Naming - Figure Counting - Activity 13
Disregard previous feedback, I didn't realize this was a different measurement because I just skipped around. Apologies (no errors or corrections needed)
Temperature - Pick the Activity
The instruction tells us to read the question and type the correct answers; however, there are no questions to read. There is only a picture and a place for you to add your answer. I tried going out and coming back into the lesson, but it still did not show a question for the student to read.
Patterning - Problem Solving - Pattern Problems
Students are asked to choose the check mark or the x if the temperature is freezing. The thermometer reads at 30 degrees. Technically this is freezing and students are taught that freezing begins at 32 degrees. This can definitely cause confusion. Not sure if the temp is in celsius or fahrenheit. Celsius would not be freezing but fahrenheit would. Students learn fahrenheit.
Metric Measurement - Temperature - Is it Freezing?
This lesson shows two stars for Calendar Problems but only one lesson is used. In order for the student to get both stars they would need to go back into the same lesson; the questions are not different, they are just in different order.
Calendar Problems
There is a question that says that it will soon climb to 30 degrees above zero. Is this warm enough to go to the beach? I clicked no and got an error sound. 30 degrees above zero is 30 degrees; that is not warm enough to go to the beach.
Metric Measurement - Temperature - Temperature and You
There are three instances where the picture that goes with the temperatures are incorrect (if you are measuring temperature in fahrenheit). 1) pictures are someone preparing snowballs, ice fishing, and camping. The temperature is 15 degrees and the answer was camping (that is incorrect). 2) pictures are surfing, ice fishing, and raking leaves. The temperature is 5 degrees and the answer was raking leaves (incorrect). 3) pictures are hockey, ice skating, and swimming. The temperature is 30 degrees and the answer is swimming (incorrect). These temperatures do not match the activities as students in Texas would match them to.
Metric Measurement - Temperature - Pick the Activity
When matching the number word to it's numeric representation, the word for 4th should be spelled "fourth" NOT "forth."
This is grammatically incorrect and could cause confusion for students.
Learn the Words 1-10, Activity 1
The activity is supposed to focus on division, involving 3's (e.g. 9 divided by 3, 6 divided by 3, 12 divided by 3, etc.); however, the first division fact that came up (when I started the second activity) was 8 divided by 4.
This does not fit into numbers that are divisible by 3 and/or yield a quotient of 3.
Numeration - Multiplication and Division/Learn to Divide 3
The problem(s) asks you to read the question(s) and then type the correct answer. However, there is not a question present. All that is on the page is a picture and a blank for you to fill in the blank with a number.
Patterning - Problem Solving/Pattern Problems
When working on turn, slides, and flips (under the Geometry section), there is a picture of 2 bicycles. The tires are touching each other so to make the pictures match up, it would be a flip; however, the question is marked wrong if you choose "flip." It's telling students that its a "turn." This is an inaccurate representation of a "turn."
Geometry - Flips (Reflections), Turns, Slide/Flip(Reflection), Turn, or Slide?
Three fractions are listed: 1/4, 3/4, and 1/2
When you click on the ear, the voice says "three quarters." Standards state that students are expected to:
(C) use concrete models to count fractional parts beyond one whole using words and
recognize how many parts it takes to equal one whole; and
(D) identify examples and non-examples of halves, fourths, and eighths
Second-grade students would not be familiar with the terminology of "quarters" being the same as "fourths."
The activity asks students to choose the fraction that they hear
