Genetic risk
Fiction. No real student, family or grade appears.

The exit ticket was different. Instead of defending my position I had to write down the strongest argument against it. That is much harder.

Chromosome number, autosomes, sex chromosomes, and what happens when the count is wrong.

Sorting by size sounds easy. It is not. I misplaced one pair, which shifted two others, and did not notice until my count came out wrong.

First CER where the claim is a number. A Punnett square gives the probability for each pregnancy independently, which is genuinely counterintuitive.

The tracker asks me to rate my own confidence. Doing that honestly is harder than the work.
