Design Highlights
- All questions are hand-written by highly qualified teachers and curriculum specialists. (They are not algorithm-generated or “crowd-sourced”.) In addition, they are carefully aligned, edited and reviewed by EducAide Software, the maker of Problem-Attic, which has 20 years of experience developing questions for state standards.
- The database is intended for both instruction and assessment. Alignment to the standards is as tight as possible while still allowing some flexibility for teaching, not just testing. While questions function very well for measuring student progress, in accordance with the standards, some questions are included for challenge, extra credit, and extending ideas.
- Questions are aligned to only one standard. There is no duplication. For questions that can conceivably go with multiple standards, we went for the best fit. We also tried to keep similar questions together, so that it's not necessary to jump through multiple standards to find variations.
-
All questions are paired for easy pre- and post-testing,
makeup tests, etc. You will not notice this on the sample documents,
but if you visit the
-
Problem-Attic has an option called “parallel forms”
that takes advantage of the paired questions. You can very quickly create
pre- and post-tests, makeup tests, forms A and B, etc. More details

- The questions are rich with graphics and interesting scenarios, including real-world data. With the editor, you can use all of this as stimulus for new questions. The process is facilitated with a button in the editor labeled “Duplicate”. Also, Problem-Attic is smart enough not to repeat certain figures or text which is marked as an “intro”, if it appears in successive questions.
Notes
All the questions are original and included in a school subscription.
The Texas Education Agency describes the TEKS as, “state standards for what students should know and be able to do.” For more information about adoption and implementation of the TEKS, please see curriculum and instructional resources at tea.texas.gov.
For most of the grade 1–5 questions the Spanish translation is available in this bank. It's fast and easy to switch between the languages, read about it here.
