Grade one addition and subtraction test and rubric

I will leave this as a word document so that you can make changes or personalize.

In grade one, students have to solve addition and subtraction problems involving whole numbers to 20.

There are three main sections:

Students have to solve an addition and subtraction problem (using models, pictures or any other tool/ strategy they choose), and then share their tool and strategy. In grade one, this may require conferencing and scribing for students who model the problem/solutions, but are unable to record their ideas.

There is an application section; students are asked to apply their knowledge to write/draw an addition and subtraction part part whole story. In addition, they are asked to create their own addition or subtraction story using a specific number.

A third section, gives three addition and subtraction number sentences to solve, and a conference to determine what strategies are being used.
