Stepwise is a system for diagnosing students' math problem-solving skills through stepwise question generation, rubric creation, and diagnostic reporting.
Key Takeaways
- Stepwise streamlines the creation of detailed math problem-solving worksheets and rubrics.
- It supports iterative refinement of questions and rubrics through natural language feedback.
- Automatic scoring and diagnostic reporting help teachers efficiently assess student skills.
- The step framework provides a structured approach to diagnosing math problem-solving abilities.
- Teachers retain control to review, edit, and adjust all generated content and results.
What the video covers
- Stepwise helps teachers input math word problems, model answers, and grade levels to generate step-by-step solutions.
- The system uses a step framework with four stages and eight sub-skills to break down problem-solving.
- Teachers can edit solutions and sub-questions or provide feedback for regeneration.
- Eight sub-questions are generated and can be reviewed individually or all at once.
- Materials are exported as PDF worksheets for student use.
- Rubrics with three scoring levels and sample answers are generated and editable.
- Teachers register students and upload or enter student responses manually or via images.
- Student responses are automatically scored based on rubrics, with options for teacher adjustment.
- Diagnostic reports summarize student performance across problem-solving stages and sub-skills.
- The system allows teachers to identify areas needing attention and adjust results as necessary.

Hi, this is a demo of Stepwise. Stepwise is a system for diagnosing students' math problem-solving skills. Let's walk through the full workflow. To get started, the teacher inputs a math word problem along with a model answer and grade level. The teacher can also upload relevant textbooks or learning materials,
Speaker A
which Stepwise references when generating the sub-questions and rubrics. Stepwise generates a step-by-step solution aligned to the step framework.
Speaker A
The step framework decomposes math problem solving into four stages: problem comprehension, information structuring, mathematical expression, and mathematical computation. Each stage has two sub-skills, yielding eight sub-skills in total. The solution is accordingly broken down into eight steps. If any part of the solution needs adjustment, the teacher can edit
Speaker A
directly before moving on. Based on this solution, eight sub-questions are generated. By default, the refined sub-question is shown. The teacher can also check how each sub-question was evaluated and refined before approving it. If the original is preferred, it can be
Speaker A
assessed and selected. The teacher can edit the question directly or provide natural language feedback to trigger regeneration.
Speaker A
After reviewing the first sub-question, the teacher can choose to review the remaining seven one by one or generate all of them at once.
Speaker A
Once all eight sub-questions are finalized, the materials are exported as a PDF worksheet to distribute to students.
Speaker A
For the next step, teachers can generate rubrics for each question. Each rubric has three levels: high, mid, and low, with scoring criteria and sample student answers for each level. Just like the sub-questions, rubrics can be generated with natural language feedback or edited directly.
Speaker A
Once the rubrics are finalized and the students have completed their worksheet, the teacher moves to the diagnosis phase. To begin, the teacher registers the students. Student responses can be uploaded as images or entered manually.
Speaker A
Each response is then automatically scored based on the rubrics. The teacher can also review the feedback and adjust the diagnostic grades. Once scoring is complete, the teacher can view the diagnostic report, which summarizes each student's performance across problem-solving stages, making it
Speaker A
easy to identify which stages and sub-skills need attention. The results can also be adjusted if needed.
Speaker A
This is the end of this Stepwise demo. Thank you.
