Features

Both forms ask the same questions with different shapes and builds
Count the sides and corners of a shape, circle every shape with 4 sides, and say whether a solid rolls, stacks or both
Find the shape a pile of sticks can make, draw a shape on dot paper, find the two shapes that make a bigger one, and count the pieces that fill an outline
The last question (count the blocks in a build) for Oklahoma, which teaches building with blocks
A small picture beside each question number, so the teacher can say "find the sun"
Answer keys that name the lesson and skill of every question

How to Use This Pack

The Kindergarten unit test on building and comparing shapes. Pages 1 and 2 are Form A. Pages 3 and 4 are Form B: the same questions in the same order with different shapes and builds, for a retake or a child who was away. Each form has 8 questions, one point each, and a Score line on its first page. Read every question aloud: a small picture beside each question number (a sun, a moon, a car) lets you say "Find the sun. How many sides and corners?" The pre-check and the unit review are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Give Form A the day after the unit review, to a small group at a table, reading one question at a time and waiting until everyone is done. Question 8 (count the blocks in a build) is taught in Kindergarten in Oklahoma: leave it out and score out of 7 if your class does not learn it. On question 5 any triangle (or square) drawn on the dots is right, as long as its sides are straight and meet at the corners. 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, and let your child build the shapes with sticks, straws or blocks before answering.

Tips for Success

Read every question aloud; children answer by circling, writing one number or drawing
Say the picture first: "Find the moon," then the question
Name each choice as you point to it, so no child has to read a word
Let children touch each side and corner as they count
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:

K.G.A.1 Use shape names for everyday objects, and tell where things are with position words like over, under, next to and behind.
K.G.A.2 Name shapes correctly even when they are turned, tilted, bigger or smaller.
K.G.A.3 Tell whether a shape is flat (two-dimensional) or solid (three-dimensional).
K.G.B.4 Compare flat and solid shapes of any size or position, using everyday words for their sides, corners and other features.
K.G.B.5 Make shapes seen in the world by drawing them or building them from parts such as straws and clay.
K.G.B.6 Put small shapes together to make bigger ones, such as joining triangles to make a square.
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.
