Beginning-of-Year Math Quick Checks — Grades 1-3

Start the year with a fast, honest read on where each student is. This 10-page pack gives teachers eight standalone quick checks for Grades 1-3 math — five-minute, one-skill-per-page mini-assessments you can give on day one, or any time you need a beginning-of-year snapshot, with zero prep. A teacher how-to page opens the pack: how to give a five-minute quick check (one skill, no warm-up, a simple timer) and how to read the results (score each page, then use the score to group students for early instruction, not to label them). The eight quick checks step through the skills a Grades 1-3 classroom needs to see first: counting and number order, place value (tens and ones, then into the hundreds), addition facts, subtraction facts, skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s, comparing numbers, time and money basics, and a short word-problems check (six items, one and two steps). Items inside each quick check move from easier to harder, so a single page can show roughly where a student's fluency starts to break down across the grade band. A full one-page answer key at the back makes marking fast. These are teacher-administered quick checks — informal, standards-referenced classroom mini-assessments, not a standardized or benchmark-certified test. Print-ready PDF in both US Letter and A4.
