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.

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.
