Purchase for the required result
Compare Original problem sheet, Writing surface, Tutor competence by specification, compatibility and buying checks, before comparing prices.
This is a planning reference for senior school mathematics tutoring. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional ALG-124 is a one-hour senior mathematics lesson on factoring x²−5 x+6. Original worked example finds −2 and −3, giving (x−2)(x−3); roots 2 and 3 apply when the expression equals zero. Substitution gives 4−10+6=0 and 9−15+6=0. Exit task x²−7 x+12=0 has roots 3 and 4.
The resource brief to send for quotations
| Resource | Required variant or quantity | Inspection or document check |
|---|---|---|
| Original problem sheet | Two worked and four practice equations. | Independent subject review of solutions. |
| Writing surface | Legible algebra lines. | Show minus signs clearly. |
| Tutor competence | Ability to explain prerequisites and alternative methods. | No invented qualification or exam endorsement. |
Use the delivery checkpoints to check suitability
| Planning stage | Acceptance evidence to agree |
|---|---|
| Check prerequisites | Distinguish expansion from solving an equation. |
| Find factor pair | Both signs and sum must pass. |
| Apply zero-product rule | Do not claim an expression alone has equation solutions. |
| Verify roots | Both residuals are zero. |
| Independent transfer | Record method errors and check both answers. |
Compare like with like
Request the same specification, unit/pack size, usable quantity, destination, lead time and support terms from each supplier. Keep an unmatched lower-priced variant separate. A supplier’s photograph, headline price or description does not establish that the delivered item fits this order.
Goods received record
| Field | What to enter for this offer |
|---|---|
| Quote and delivery reference | Exact supplier quote and date, plus the receiving document |
| Item match | Independent subject review of solutions. |
| Quantity and condition | Count or measure the actual received lot; keep mismatches separate |
| Release decision | Record method errors and check both answers. |
| Unresolved evidence | No curriculum approval, learner assessment or examination result claimed. |
Do not use an item with an unresolved suitability question for work that depends on that question. Obtain the relevant competent assessment rather than treating this checklist as technical approval.
