One page to give before the first lesson of the unit on measurement, to see what children already know. Read each of its six questions aloud: a small picture beside each question number (a sun, a moon, a car) lets you say "Find the sun. Which one tells how long?" Children pick the tool that tells how long, circle the longer of two things lying at a start line, the taller of two towers and the smaller of two apples, the heavier of two things, and the one that holds more. It has a Score line, and the key names the lesson each question leads into. Only the unit's Common Core lessons are asked. The unit review and the unit test are packs of their own.
Give the pre-check to a small group at a table before the first lesson, reading one question at a time and waiting until everyone is done. Then sort the children by what they missed: a child who mixes up longer and taller needs to line up real things at a start line in the first lessons, and one who guesses at heavier needs to hold two things, one in each hand. A low score at the start is no surprise; it shows where to begin.
Use it to see what your child knows before the unit on measurement starts. Read each question aloud, then compare real things at home: two spoons, two shoes, a cup and a bowl.
