How to Use This Pack

One page to give on the first day of the unit on place value to 1,000, before any teaching. Its six questions are on the 1st grade tens and ones the unit builds on: a tens and ones table for blocks, ten ones as a ten, counting by tens past 100, expanded form, the value of a digit and number words, all with two-digit numbers. 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 cannot yet trade ten ones for a ten needs base-ten blocks in hand for the first lessons, and one who stops counting by tens at 100 needs a hundreds chart beside the unit. Nothing on the page asks for hundreds yet, 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 place value to 1,000 starts: bundle straws or sticks in tens, and count by tens together past 100.

Tips for Success

  • Give it before the first lesson, not after
  • Read the score as a starting point, not a grade
  • Keep base-ten blocks out for a student who missed the trading question
  • 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.B.2a See a group of ten ones as one unit called a ten.
  • 1.NBT.B.2c Know that 10, 20, 30 and so on up to 90 mean 1 to 9 tens with no ones.
  • 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.NBT.B.7 Add and subtract to 1,000 with models and place-value strategies, working hundreds, tens and ones separately and regrouping tens or hundreds as needed.

2nd Grade Place Value to 1,000 Pre-Check

A check to give before the unit on place value to 1,000, on the tens and ones the unit builds on. Students fill in a tens and ones table for blocks, trade ten ones for a ten, count by tens past 100, write two-digit numbers in expanded form, find the value of a digit and write number words.
