One page to give on the first day of the unit on area and perimeter, before any teaching. Its six questions are on the 3rd grade area and perimeter and the multiplying and dividing the unit builds on: counting square units, rows times squares in a row, adding the sides of a rectangle, a perimeter on grid paper, missing factors and two-digit times one-digit products. 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 mixes up area and perimeter needs grid paper and square tiles before the formulas, and one who misses the facts needs them before finding a missing side. Nothing on the page uses the formulas 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: cover a small book with sticky notes to count its area, and run a string around it for its perimeter.

A check to give before the unit on area and perimeter, on the 3rd grade area and perimeter and the multiplying and dividing it builds on. Students count square units, multiply rows by squares in a row, add sides, find a perimeter on a grid, and find missing factors and products.
