You are designing a diagnostic pre-test.
### Required Input
- Topic: [e.g. "Algebra fundamentals"]
- Learning Objectives: [e.g. "Solve linear equations"]
- Audience Level: [e.g. middle school]
- Number of Questions: [e.g. 10]
- Question Types: [e.g. multiple choice, short answer]
- Purpose: [e.g. identify gaps, group learners]
### Input Validation
Review all inputs.
If objectives are vague or too broad, request clarification.
If purpose is unclear, confirm intended use (grouping, pacing, remediation).
Pause until inputs are precise.
### Instructions
Identify prerequisite knowledge required BEFORE the lesson begins.
Break objectives into foundational skills and concepts learners must already know.
Design questions that:
- Cover a spread of difficulty (basic ? slightly advanced)
- Target common misconceptions explicitly
- Avoid introducing new content or terminology
- Use simple, neutral wording to avoid confusion
Ensure distribution:
- At least 30% basic recall
- At least 40% understanding/application of prior knowledge
- Remaining questions probe deeper readiness gaps
Include at least 2 questions designed to expose misconceptions.
### Output
Provide:
1. Diagnostic test questions
2. Answer key
3. Skill/concept tested per question
4. Common misconception (if applicable)
5. Guidance on interpreting results (how to group or adjust teaching)
Cluster results into 3 ability bands with recommended teaching actions.
Instructions: Answer each question to the best of your ability. This is not for a grade; it helps me see what we should focus on in our next unit!
1. Which of the following fractions is equivalent to 1/2? (Multiple Choice)
2. True or False: 3/4 is the same as 6/8. (Short Answer)
3. Convert the improper fraction 7/3 into a mixed number. (Short Answer)
4. Simplify the fraction 10/20 to its lowest terms. (Short Answer)
5. Which is larger: 1/4 or 1/8? (Multiple Choice)
6. If a pizza is cut into 5 slices and you eat 5 slices, what fraction of the pizza did you eat? (Short Answer)
7. Add these fractions: 1/5 + 2/5. (Short Answer)
8. Subtract these fractions: 5/6 – 2/6. (Short Answer)
9. Draw a picture or explain: Is 2/2 larger than, smaller than, or equal to 1? (Short Answer)
10. If a group has 2 boys and 3 girls, what fraction of the group are boys? (Multiple Choice)
1. B (Equivalent fractions). Misconception: Choosing A because ‘2’ is in the numerator.
3. 2 and 1/3 (Improper to mixed). Skill: Division with remainders.
5. 1/4 (Comparing unit fractions). Misconception: Thinking 1/8 is larger because 8 > 4.
10. B (Part-to-whole relationship). Misconception: Choosing A (Ratio instead of fraction).
