The data sheet I created is meant to show which students are struggling with particular problems under a particular math standard. The way I color coded it was so that the questions the students got right or wrong would pop so that the teacher could easily tell which standards students were struggling with the most, plus the standards that individual students may be struggling with. It's much easier for me to read tables and charts when they're color coded, so I thought that would help others as well. The standards are across the top of the table in orange, the correct answers right below in yellow, the list of students down the left side of the spreadsheet in light blue, true answers in blue, and false answers in red. The students answers are also colored the same blue as their names.

I would advise the teacher to look through the data and make some notes on which standards or questions the majority of students had trouble with. Then I would advise that he or she look at the individual students also to compare their wrong answers to the majority of what the class got wrong. The teacher could easily find which questions need to be gone over again and then decide which standards need to be re-taught and which standards have been taught thoroughly. I would think that the teacher would have a better idea of where they need to take their lessons in the future and who may need a little extra attention along the way. I think that providing teachers with tables like this on a consistent basis would be extremely beneficial to students because it would cater to their needs much better than just guessing from their grades.
