Features

  • Every lesson of the unit, in the same kinds of question as the test
  • Pick the tool that tells how much it holds, and circle the shorter and the bigger thing
  • Read a pan balance to find the lighter thing, and circle the container that holds less
  • The last four questions for the states that teach them in Kindergarten: putting three things in order by length, measuring with cubes, counting the blocks that balance a thing, and counting the cups that fill a pitcher
  • A small picture beside each question number, so the teacher can say "find the sun"
  • Answer keys name the lesson and skill of every question

Skills Covered

  • Pick the tool that tells how long, how heavy or how much
  • Tell which is longer and which is shorter
  • Tell which is taller and which is shorter
  • Tell which is bigger and which is smaller
  • Read a pan balance: heavier and lighter
  • Tell which holds more and which holds less
  • Put three things in order by length
  • Measure with cubes and count blocks on a balance

How to Use This Pack

Two pages that go over the whole unit on measurement, to do together the day before the test. Its 10 questions are the same kinds as the test's, in the same order, with other things and sizes, so nothing on the review is on the test; it asks one more than the test, counting the cups of water that fill a pitcher. Read every question aloud: a small picture beside each question number (a sun, a moon, a car) lets you say "Find the sun. Which one tells how much it holds?" There is no Score line: it is practice, not a grade. The pre-check and the unit test are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Do the review together the day before the test, with a few real things to compare. Read a question, let children answer on their own, and stop on any that trip up more than a few. The review asks for the shorter, the lighter and the one that holds less, where the test asks for the taller, the heavier and the one that holds more: talk about both words. Questions 7 to 10 (putting three things in order by length, measuring with cubes, and counting blocks and cups) are taught in Kindergarten in some states only: skip the ones your class does not learn. The keys name each question's lesson, so a question the class misses points to the lesson to go back to.

At Home

Use the review as practice before a test at school. Read each question aloud, then compare real things at home: two spoons, two shoes, a cup and a bowl.

Tips for Success

  • Read every question aloud; children answer by circling or writing one number
  • Say the picture first: "Find the moon," then the question
  • Line up real things at a start line to compare lengths
  • Show a real balance: the heavier side goes down
  • Go back to the lesson the key names for a question the class misses

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • K.MD.A.1 Name the features of an object that can be measured, such as how long or how heavy it is, including several for one object.
  • K.MD.A.2 Put two objects side by side to see which is longer, taller, heavier and so on, and describe the difference.
  • 1.MD.A.1 Put three objects in order from longest to shortest, and compare two lengths by checking each against a third object.
  • 1.MD.A.2 Measure an object by lining up equal-size units (like cubes) along it without spaces or overlapping, and give the whole-number count.

Kindergarten Measurement Unit Review
