Description
Quick, Common Core assessments for 1st grade! Included in this unit are short, half page assessments for all the phonics and math standards in 1st grade. The full list is below.
These are great to have in your classroom from the beginning of the year to help track your students' progress!
The Kindergarten version:
Quick Check Common Core Assessments for Kindergarten
***
In my classroom, I like to collect data!
I like to do this without making my students feel like they are just taking tests all the time. In order to help me assess my students and save time, I created these “quick checks.” Each of these assessments are no more than 3 questions long and they all align directly to a 1st grade Common Core Standard.
I give my students these quick checks at different times throughout the year. Before teaching a concept/standard I will give a quick-check as a pre-assessment. After teaching the concept, I will give the same quick-check as a post-assessment.
For my struggling students, I also use these quick-checks to re-assess as needed throughout the year.
I find that these quick assessments are short, but also precise! They let me check in on my students’ progress without taking up too much time! It’s a win-win for me and my students!
In this unit:
- How I use these checklists and quick-checks in my own classroom
- Mastery checklists to record scores for each student and each standard
- Progress checks: more in-depth recording sheets for each student and each standard
- Quick check assessments for each of the following Common Core Standards:
Phonics:
