Features

Forms A and B ask the same questions with different shapes
Count sides and corners, circle every triangle among look-alikes, and draw a shape from clues on dot paper
Count square corners, decide which solid shapes roll and stack, and count the blocks in a build
Find the two shapes that make a bigger one
Find equal shares, and cut shapes into halves and fourths
See that more shares make smaller shares, and solve a sharing story
Answer keys name the lesson and skill of every question

Skills Covered

Count the sides and corners of flat shapes
Tell a triangle from shapes that only look like one
Draw a shape from clues; count square corners
Solid shapes that roll and stack; count the blocks in a build

Put two flat shapes together to make a bigger one
Tell equal shares from shares that are not equal
Cut shapes into halves and fourths (quarters)
More equal shares make smaller shares; sharing stories

How to Use This Pack

The unit test on shapes and equal shares. Pages 1 and 2 are Form A. Pages 3 and 4 are Form B: the same questions in the same order with different shapes, for a retake, a make-up or a second seating. Each form has 12 questions, one point each, and a Score line on its first page. The pre-check and the unit review are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Give Form A the day after the unit review. Have pattern blocks and a few solid blocks on hand for students who want to check an answer. When students cut a shape into halves or fourths, any way that makes equal shares is right, not only the one the key shows. The answer keys name each question's skill, so a missed question points to the lesson to reteach.

At Home

Use Form B as a check after the unit. Read each question aloud with your child, and look for shapes around the house: the corners of a book, a can that rolls, a sandwich cut in half.

Tips for Success

Read the questions aloud for students who are still learning to read
A triangle is closed and has 3 straight sides, whatever its size, color or turn
The corner of an index card makes a good square corner checker
Equal shares are the same size, even when they are not the same shape
Use Form B as a retake after reteaching what was missed

Common Core Standards Alignment

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

1.G.A.1 Separate the features that define a shape (three sides) from ones that do not (color, size, turn), and build or draw shapes with them.
1.G.A.2 Combine flat shapes (such as trapezoids and half-circles) or solids (such as cubes and cones) into a new shape, then build more shapes from it.
1.G.A.3 Split circles and rectangles into 2 or 4 equal parts, name them halves, fourths or quarters, and see that more parts means smaller parts.
