Seven pages for one unit on story problems to 20. Page 1 is a pre-check to give before the unit, to see what students already know: picture stories within 10, a part-part-whole story, number bonds, and choosing + or − to make a number sentence true. 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 kinds of story 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. For most stories students write a number sentence, with + or − in the circle, and the answer with its unit.
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 stories and tips aloud. On the test, read each story aloud for students who are still learning to read; the math is what is being checked. Question 10 asks students to write their own story, so give credit for any story that matches the number sentence and asks a question. 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 story together, and ask your child to tell it back in their own words before they solve it. Counters, coins or small toys help them act it out.

A unit test for story problems to 20 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 kinds of story with different numbers. Students solve add to and take from stories, put together and take apart, find how many more are needed and how many there were at first, compare two groups, add three numbers in a story, fill in a bar model, circle the number sentence that matches a story, and write a story of their own for a number sentence. Every story asks a question with numbers within 20 and one answer, and every question is on a 1st grade Common Core standard. Answer keys name the skill and standard of every question.
