Seven pages for one unit on subtraction to 20 and the equal sign. Page 1 is a pre-check to give before the unit, to see what students already know: counting back and taking away within 10, a small fact family, missing numbers, numbers around 10, and the addition facts subtraction builds on. 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.
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. On the test, question 8 (the balance) and question 9 (true or false) check the meaning of the equal sign; have counters or a pan balance ready for students who want to build it. The answer keys name each question's skill, so a missed question points to the lesson to reteach.
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 explain how they found each answer: did they count back, think addition or get to 10 first?

A unit test for subtraction to 20 and the equal sign in 1st grade: a one-page pre-check, a two-page review with a tip on every question, and the unit test in two forms (A and B) that ask the same questions with different numbers. Students count back on a number line, think addition to subtract, write fact families, get to 10 first to subtract, cross out pictures in ten frames, find missing numbers, balance both sides of an equal sign, decide if equations are true or false, find the unknown in any spot, subtract and add facts to 20, and solve a follow-the-arrows number puzzle. Every question is on a 1st grade Common Core standard. Answer keys name the skill and standard of every question.
