Grade 6 · Teacher Workspace · CardForge
Math Card Builder
Turn any lesson into a complete EduWonderLab Math card. A teacher-facing workspace for converting slides, worksheets, PDFs, and rough lesson ideas into polished math lesson cards with classroom-ready resources.
- TeacherGuide, answer key, sub notes.
- StudentPractice, exit ticket, vocabulary.
- CheckedEvery package runs a QA gate.
How this works today: CardForge runs as a
local EduWonderLab tool. This page explains the
workflow and links to a real generated sample. There is
no upload or live "generate" button yet — building
happens in the repo with the npm run cardforge:*
commands. Live in-browser building can be added later.
What It Can Use

Example Use Cases
Real Things You Can Build
“Turn a slide deck on ratios into a full EduWonderLab card.”
“Build a review packet from a rough lesson idea.”
“Audit an existing lesson card for missing resources.”
“Create a teacher guide, student practice, and answer key from a worksheet.”
“Package a statistics lesson with an activity and exit ticket.”
Quality Gate
What QA Checks Before a Card Is "Ready"
Every package runs this checklist. Blocking failures stop a card; warnings are flagged for cleanup.
- Card title, objective, and description exist
- Unit / lesson / standard present or clearly flagged uncertain
- Teacher guide, student practice, and answer key all present
- Answer key covers every practice problem
- Inline math claims are recomputed and must match
- No vague “answers may vary” without a rubric
- ESOL / SPED supports included when helpful
- No broken links or fake live buttons
- No AI-slop phrases or stray TODO markers
- Enough practice scaffolding for the grade level
