Unit check: before and after
Two short paper checks made from this unit's own worksheets. Give Check A before you teach the unit and Check B after it, and you can see what changed. Each part belongs to one lesson.
- Part 1: Lesson 1, How many altogether? (1 task)
- Part 2: Lesson 2, Take away: how many are left? (2 tasks)
- Part 3: Lesson 3, Adding stories: some more come (1 task)
- Part 4: Lesson 4, Take-away stories: some go away (1 task)
- Part 5: Lesson 5, Put-together stories: how many in all? (1 task)
Printing a check counts as a download, like any worksheet.
The answer keys and the teacher pages come with the paid Teacher plan.
This is a classroom check of this unit's lessons. It is not a standardized test, and its points are not a grade.
