Packet Numbering Guidelines

• Assign a unique (within the curriculum) packet number
  • Exception: for multi-book IAs, the same packet number should be used for all packets. See naming convention above for how books should be differentiated
• Format must be X.X, up to 7 total characters including the period.
• The following are our recommendations:
  • Packet numbers should closely follow numbering conventions used in pacing calendars for simplicity.
  • Exit tickets/classwork packets should start with the unit number, then the period, then the lesson number. For example, Unit 2 Lesson 7 would have the number 2.7.
  • All assessments should start with the number “0” before the period (assuming no curriculum materials would use this number), and an appropriate abbreviation for the assessment. Two reasons for this:
    • Assessments, which are likely to be viewed by the most people, will filter to the top of the packet list
    • This will enable us to easily tell which packets are assessments (versus exit tickets) down the road, since we do not have a field for this currently.
