How to Use This Pack

One page to give on the first day of the unit on numbers to 120, before any teaching. Its seven questions are on what the unit builds on: counting on and back, part of a row of the 120 chart, the numbers before, after and between, counting full ten frames by tens, counting on past 100 and a number line from 10 to 20. It has a Score line, and the key names the lesson each question leads into. The unit review and the unit test are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Give the pre-check on the first day and sort the class by what they missed: a student who stops at 30 or at 100 when counting on needs a 120 chart to point along, and one who counts every dot one by one needs to practice counting by tens. Counting past 100 is new to most students, so a miss there is no surprise; it shows where to start.

At Home

Use it to see what your child needs before the unit on numbers to 120 starts: count on from a number like 27 or 98 together, then count back, and listen for where your child gets stuck.

Tips for Success

  • Give it before the first lesson, not after
  • Read the questions aloud for students who are still learning to read
  • Read the score as a starting point, not a grade
  • Keep a 120 chart out for a student who missed the counting questions
  • The key names the lesson each question leads into

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 1.OA.C.5 Connect counting with adding and subtracting, such as adding 4 by counting on four more.
  • 1.NBT.A.1 Count up to 120 from any starting number, and read, write and use numerals up to 120 to show how many objects.
  • 1.NBT.B.3 Compare two-digit numbers by looking at their tens and ones, and write the result with >, = or <.
  • 2.MD.B.6 Show whole numbers as distances from 0 on an evenly marked number line, and show sums and differences up to 100 as jumps on it.
