How to Use This Pack

Seven pages for one unit on addition strategies to 20. Page 1 is a pre-check to give before the unit, to see what students already know; it stays within 10. Pages 2 and 3 are a review to do together before the test, with a tip on every question. Pages 4 and 5 are the unit test, Form A. Pages 6 and 7 are Form B: the same questions in the same order with different numbers, for a retake, a make-up or a second seating. Each form has 12 questions, one point each, and a Score line on its first page.

In the Classroom

Give the pre-check on the first day of the unit and sort the class by what they missed. Do the review the day before the test, reading the tips aloud. Many questions show the strategy as well as the answer (the numbers counted on, the double used, the ten made first), so look at the work as well as the sum. Question 10 is four quick facts: give the point when all four are right, or score them by the fact if you like. The answer keys name each question's skill, so a missed question points to the lesson to reteach.

At Home

Use the review as practice before a test at school, or Form B as a check after the unit. Read each question aloud with your child, and ask them to say how they found each sum.

Tips for Success

• Read the questions aloud for students who are still learning to read
• Ask students to say the double they used on the near doubles question
• Keep a double ten frame on the desk for making a ten
• On the three number question, any order works; the key shows the ten or double first
• Use Form B as a retake after reteaching what was missed
