How to Use This Pack

Seven pages for one unit on data and graphs. Page 1 is a pre-check to give before the unit, to see what students already know. 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 and pictures, for a retake, a make-up or a second seating. Each form has 10 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. Question 10 (sorting with a Venn diagram) is taught in 1st grade in Oklahoma: leave it out and score out of 9 if your class does not learn it. 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 point to the part of the graph that gives each answer.

Tips for Success

• Read the questions aloud for students who are still learning to read
• Have students cross off each picture or card as they count it
• Count tally marks by 5s for each bundle, then by 1s
• For how many more or fewer, find both numbers first, then subtract
• Use Form B as a retake after reteaching what was missed
