How to Use This Pack

One page to give on the first day of the unit on counting and comparing to 1,000, before any teaching. Its six questions are on the 1st grade counting and comparing it builds on, and the place value of Unit 2: counting on past 100, counting by 10s, comparing and ordering two-digit numbers, a number line from one ten to the next, and three-digit numbers from hundreds, tens and ones and from expanded form. 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 100 when counting on needs a hundreds chart or a number line in reach for the first lessons, and one who misses the comparing needs base-ten blocks to compare tens first. The page stays with two-digit numbers but for the last question, so a low score is no surprise; it shows where to start.

At Home

Use it to see what your child needs before the unit on counting and comparing to 1,000 starts: count on together past 100, and ask which of two numbers is greater, and how your child knows.

Tips for Success

  • Give it before the first lesson, not after
  • Read the score as a starting point, not a grade
  • Keep a hundreds chart or a number line out for a student who missed the counting
  • 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.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.NBT.A.2 Count up to 1,000, and count by fives, tens and hundreds.
  • 2.NBT.A.3 Read and write numbers up to 1,000 as digits, in words, and in expanded form (like 300 + 40 + 7).
  • 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.
