Which word for which level? A clear, printable cheat sheet for the Term 1 Ontario report card: the four achievement-chart categories at Levels 4 to 1 with the qualifier words (thorough or a high degree of, considerable, some, limited) and what each one means in plain language. Then try the picker on your own class.

What’s inside:

• Qualifier table: 4 categories × 4 levels
• Level, letter grade and percentage table (A+ to D-, 50-100%), with how to treat R and I
• How to use a qualifier well: six habits and a before/after example
• 12 sentence starters (3 per level)
• 144 Mathematics comments (Number and Spatial sense, Grades 1-3, 4-6, 7-8): four strengths (Knowledge and Understanding, Thinking, Communication, Application) and two next steps for every level
• The comment picker for up to 10 students (Excel .xlsx; opens in Google Sheets): type a letter or a percentage and it finds the level and writes the comment
• A 20-page PDF

Canadian spelling, no marks or level numbers inside the comments, character counter, works offline. The full resource in our shop covers Language, Mathematics, Science and Technology, Social Studies, History and Geography (1,248 comments, 40 students).
