One page to give on the first day of the unit on data and probability, before any teaching. Its six questions are on what the unit builds on: a line plot in quarters from 3rd grade, halves and quarters as eighths, adding and subtracting eighths, a bar graph that counts by 10s, tally marks, and the outcomes of a spinner. 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 cannot write 3/4 as eighths needs equal fractions on a ruler or a strip before line plots in eighths, and one who misses the bar graph needs to count by the scale again before graphs that count by halves. Nothing on the page is in eighths on a line plot 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: find the half, quarter and eighth marks on a ruler together, and count tally marks of things around the house.

A check to give before the unit on line plots, data and probability, on the graphs and fractions it builds on. Students read a line plot in quarters, write halves and quarters as eighths, add and subtract eighths, read a scaled bar graph and tally marks, and list the outcomes of a spinner.
