How to Use This Pack

Seven pages for one unit on numbers to 120. 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, 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. Questions 8 to 10 (skip counting, number words, ordinal numbers) are taught in 1st grade in some states only: leave them out and score out of 7 if your class does not learn them. 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 show how they counted.

Tips for Success

• Read the questions aloud for students who are still learning to read
• Counting on past 99 is where most mistakes happen; watch for 100, 101
• On the 120 chart, up is 10 less and down is 10 more
• Let students point to each ten frame as they count by tens
• Use Form B as a retake after reteaching what was missed
