Features

  • A unit that comes from state standards (Common Core has none of it in Kindergarten)
  • Every lesson of the unit, in the same kinds of question as the test
  • Circle the coin the teacher names, count the nickels in a mixed group with heads and tails, write how many cents a penny and a nickel are worth, and pick the way to earn money and the thing we need
  • Circle what comes next in a pattern and the part that repeats, draw the next step of a growing pattern, and share things fairly on plates
  • Find tomorrow and yesterday on a week strip, count the Wednesdays in a month and put the events of a day in order
  • 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

  • Name pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
  • Count one kind of coin, heads or tails
  • Know what a penny, nickel and dime are worth
  • Tell earning money from a gift, and needs from wants
  • Continue repeating patterns and find the part that repeats
  • Draw the next step of a growing pattern
  • Share things fairly
  • Use the days of the week, months and times of day

How to Use This Pack

Two pages that go over the whole unit on money, patterns and the calendar, to do together the day before the test. Its 12 questions are the same kinds as the test's, in the same order, with other coins, pictures and days, so nothing on the review is on the test. Read every question aloud: a small picture beside each question number (a sun, a moon, a car) lets you say "Find the sun. Circle the quarter." Questions about pictures name them in the order they are shown, and each picture has its name under it. 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

This unit comes from state standards, so do only the questions your state teaches; they are numbered as on the test. Questions 1 to 3 are coins: naming them (Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas), counting one kind with heads and tails (South Carolina, Texas) and what each is worth (Georgia). Questions 4 and 5 (earning money, needs and wants) are Texas lessons. Questions 6 and 7 (repeating patterns and the part that repeats) are taught in Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virginia, with Indiana for question 6; question 8 (growing patterns) in Indiana and Oklahoma; question 9 (sharing fairly) in Oklahoma. Questions 10 to 12 are the calendar: days of the week (Indiana, Oklahoma, Virginia), months (Indiana, Virginia) and times of day (Georgia, Indiana, Oklahoma, Virginia). 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. Sort the coins from a pocket or a jar into pennies, nickels and dimes, look for patterns on clothes and floors, and talk about yesterday, today and tomorrow at breakfast.

Tips for Success

  • Read every question aloud; children answer by circling, writing one number or drawing
  • Say the picture first: "Find the moon," then the question
  • Hold up real coins: children know them by size and color better than by pictures
  • Say a pattern out loud ("apple, apple, pear") to hear the part that repeats
  • 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.B.3 Sort objects into named groups, count each group (up to 10), and order the groups by how many they hold.
