One page to give on the first day of the unit on shapes and perimeter, before any teaching. Its six questions are on what the unit builds on: adding several numbers, area by counting squares and by multiplying, and the 2nd grade shape names by sides and angles. 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.
Give the pre-check on the first day and sort the class by what they missed: a student who misses the adding needs it before perimeter, which adds the sides; one who misses the area questions needs the area unit again before comparing area and perimeter; and one who cannot yet find the quadrilaterals needs shapes to sort by their sides before rhombuses, rectangles and squares. Nothing on the page asks for perimeter yet, so a low score is no surprise; it shows where to start.
Use it to see what your child needs before the unit starts: count the sides and corners of shapes around the house, and add up the lengths of a table's sides with a tape measure.

A check to give before the unit on shapes and perimeter, on what it builds on. Students add several numbers, find areas by counting squares and by multiplying, count the sides and angles of a shape, circle quadrilaterals and draw a shape from a clue.
