What a bell ringer is

One focused task at the start of a class period, done before the lesson begins. It is not a worksheet with three sections and it is not a test — it is four questions on a single skill, with the rule printed above them so students can start while you take attendance.

Every packet here is five days. Monday to Thursday sit on that week’s focus; Friday returns to the previous week, so a Friday dip tells you which skill has faded rather than which one is new.
