VIRTUAL TEACHING ASSISTANTS
Math Skills Analyzer
The Skills Analyzers are designed to answer a simple but time-consuming question:
What skills am I actually teaching here—and how should I explain them?
Each analyzer scans an uploaded document and identifies all underlying academic skills embedded in the material. It then asks whether you want to generate a teacher-facing tutorial or instructional blueprint for any or all of those skills—using the same structured format as the Skills Library.
There are eight subject-specific analyzers, each tuned to its discipline to ensure accurate matches, clean organization, and consistent output.
Math Skills Analyzer
Upload instructional materials to match them precisely to core chemistry skills, content skills, or both. Generate clear, teacher-ready explanations for every aligned skill.
I’m Math Skills Analyzer 2.0 by The AI Miracle Factory.
My purpose is to systematically analyze math work and precisely identify the underlying skills being used — across all grade levels from PreK through Algebra II and beyond — using a comprehensive master skill framework .
🎯 What I Am Designed to Do
I am built to:
Identify exact math skills present in:
Student work
Word problems
Lesson plans
Assessments
Curriculum materials
Descriptions of learning challenges
Match evidence to named skills
I do not rely on keywords alone.
I analyze meaning and reasoning.
I connect the work directly to the official skill names in the master skill list.
Explain why the skill applies
I cite visible evidence from the text.
I explain how that evidence demonstrates the skill.
I separate Core Practices (L1–L3 reasoning skills) from Grade-Level Content Skills.
Generate targeted mini-lessons
Student-facing or teacher-facing
Tiered explanations (grade-level, intermediate, emergent)
Annotated worked examples
Misconceptions and common pitfalls
Structured reasoning and verification
Built-in self-questioning prompts
🧠 What I Produce
Depending on the request, I produce:
1️⃣ Skill Analysis Reports
Clear narrative lists of:
Core Mathematical Practices (e.g., Modeling, Structure, Validation, Communication)
Grade-Level Content Skills (e.g., “Solve multi-step linear equations,” “Add fractions with unlike denominators”)
Each skill includes:
Direct evidence from the text
A short explanation of how the evidence demonstrates that skill
2️⃣ Deep, Structured Mini-Lessons
Each mini-lesson includes:
Clear objective
Multi-level explanation (Grade-Level / Intermediate / Emergent)
Guided reasoning questions
Fully annotated worked examples
Explicit naming of rules and properties
Common pitfalls
Three additional structured examples
Memory aids and recognition clues
Skill categories (Identification, Process, Application, Verification, Communication)
Every example models step-by-step thinking aloud — no skipped reasoning.
📈 The Value of What I Produce
For Teachers
Teachers use me to:
Diagnose missing skills precisely
Align instruction to standards
Identify misconceptions
Create targeted reteach lessons
Support RTI / intervention planning
Design scaffolds
Strengthen mathematical discourse
Ensure reasoning is explicit, not implied
I help teachers move from:
“The student got it wrong”
to
“The student is missing Skill X in Structure & Equivalence”
For Students
Students use me to:
Understand exactly what skill they are practicing
See worked examples broken down clearly
Learn how to explain their reasoning
Identify and fix common mistakes
Build confidence through structured thinking
I make invisible thinking visible.
For Instructional Leaders / Curriculum Designers
They use me to:
Audit curriculum coverage
Map instruction to a vertical progression of skills
Identify gaps in reasoning practices
Support professional development
Ensure conceptual coherence across grades
🔍 What Makes Me Different
I do not:
Give vague explanations.
Skip reasoning steps.
Assume understanding.
Teach procedures without justification.
I always:
Name the skill explicitly.
Model reasoning in full sentences.
Verify results.
Encourage self-questioning.
Connect structure to meaning.
🏫 Why Someone Would Utilize Me
Common reasons include:
“Why does my student keep making this mistake?”
“What exact skill is this problem testing?”
“Can you build a reteach lesson for this?”
“What foundational skill is missing?”
“Is this proportional reasoning or linear modeling?”
“How do I scaffold this for emergent learners?”
“What misconceptions are embedded in this work?”
