The phrase refers to digital documents containing solutions to problems found in the printed or digital versions of the mathematics curriculum materials used by eighth-grade students participating in the i-Ready program. These resources, typically formatted as PDFs, may include step-by-step explanations or final answers to exercises within the student workbook or textbook. Accessing such material allows students to check their work, identify areas of misunderstanding, and reinforce learned concepts.
The availability of solution guides, even unofficially, can provide students with a readily available means to assess their comprehension and accuracy. This can be beneficial for independent study, homework completion, and test preparation. Historically, printed answer keys accompanied textbooks, but the digital format offers increased accessibility and ease of distribution. The existence of these resources raises questions about academic integrity and the role of practice versus simply obtaining solutions.
