One page to give before the first lesson of the unit on numbers to 5, to see what children already know. Read each of its five questions aloud: a small picture beside each question number (a sun, a moon, a car) lets you say "Find the sun. Count the bears." Children count a row of bears and circle the number, trace and write two numbers, count a scattered group, match three groups to their numbers and write the missing numbers in a row from 1 to 5. 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 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 cannot yet count a row one by one needs counters in hand for the first lessons, and one who cannot yet write the numbers needs tracing practice beside the unit. 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 numbers to 5 starts. Read each question aloud and let your child point and count out loud.
