Features

Both forms ask the same questions with different shapes
Count the sides and angles of a shape and circle every quadrilateral
Draw a shape from clues on dot paper and name it
Count the faces, edges and vertices of a solid
Name a shaded third, cut a rectangle into fourths, and find the squares cut into halves, which can be different shapes
The last six questions (right angles, sixths and eighths, comparing unit fractions, lines of symmetry, perimeter and area) are for the states that teach them in 2nd grade
Answer keys name the lesson and skill of every question

Skills Covered

Count the sides and angles of triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons and hexagons
Draw a shape from clues and name it
Count the faces, edges and vertices of a solid
Halves, thirds and fourths; equal shares can be different shapes

Right angles in a shape
Sixths and eighths; compare unit fractions
Lines of symmetry
Perimeter, and area from unit squares

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 13 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. Questions 1 to 7 are the Common Core part of the unit (question 7 opens the second page). Questions 8 to 13 are taught in 2nd grade in some states only (right angles, sixths and eighths, comparing unit fractions, symmetry, perimeter and area): give the ones your class learns and score out of what you give. Halves, thirds and fourths are named in words; only the fraction questions for the states that teach them write numbers like 1/6. 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. Ask your child to count the sides of a shape aloud, touching each one, and to show you how two halves of a square can be different shapes.

Tips for Success

Have students mark each side as they count it, so none is counted twice
A quadrilateral is any shape with 4 sides, not only a square or a rectangle
Keep a box or a block out for counting faces, edges and vertices
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:

2.G.A.1 Draw and spot shapes with given features, like a number of angles or faces, and name triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons and cubes.
2.G.A.3 Cut circles and rectangles into 2, 3 or 4 equal parts called halves, thirds or fourths; equal parts of one whole can look different.
3.NF.A.1 Know 1/b is one of b equal parts of a whole, and a/b is a of those parts (denominators 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8).
3.NF.A.3d Compare fractions of the same whole that have equal numerators or equal denominators, thinking about part size; record with >, = or < and explain.
3.MD.C.5a Know that a square with 1-unit sides has an area of one square unit and can be used to measure area.
3.MD.C.5b Know that a flat shape exactly covered by some number of unit squares, with no spaces or overlapping, has that many square units of area.
3.MD.C.6 Find an area by counting how many unit squares cover it, in square centimeters, meters, inches, feet or made-up units.
3.MD.D.8 Solve perimeter problems for polygons: add side lengths, find a missing side, and compare rectangles with equal perimeters but different areas, or the reverse.
3.G.A.2 Divide shapes into parts of equal area and describe each part with a unit fraction, such as 1/6 of the shape.
