In this assessment students will identify and describe shapes. Teachers will hand out the assessment task and point to figures from left to right. Students will identify the shapes they see in the picture. They will determine whether the shapes are 2-D flat or 3-D solid. Teachers will assess one on one. An I Spy Shape assessment task sheet recording sheet and rubric are provided.

In this assessment task students will listen to the story Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. They will be asked to tell what the inchworm is doing and why we measure things. Students will use an inchworm to measure each characters length. Students are then asked to complete a constructed response item explaining how they measured each character. The assessment task sheet inchworms and a rubric are provided.

For this assessment, students measure objects around the classroom in inches, then in feet. Students write to explain why measuring in inches is different than measuring in feet.

For this assessment, students measure objects at their desks in centimeters, then in inches. Students write to explain why measuring in centimeters is different from measuring in inches.

In this assessment students will look at how someone else solved an addition problem. They will problem solve to decide whether that is the only way to solve the problem. A rubric and an assessment task sheet are provided.

For this assessment task, students select the appropriate tool to measure keys and record their measurements. Using the measurement data, students place the data on a line plot.

In this assessment task, students measure various graphical keys with appropriate tools and plot results on a graph.

This task analyzes students' ability to compare two and three dimensional shapes in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts, and other attributes. A student checklist and rubric are included.

In this assessment task students will use data to create a picture graph and a bar graph. They will sort pictures into four categories. They also answer questions to compare the animals they graphed using addition and subtraction problems. An assessment task sheet and rubric are provided.

In this assessment task, students work with animal cards to create groups then represent the data in picture graphs.

With this assessment task, students compare their foot to that of a giant and find the difference in lengths.

For this assessment, students use manipulatives to assist them in deciding what number makes the equation true.

In this assessment students will use a Ten Frame to complete addition sentences to make ten. They will write the missing number to make ten. A rubric and an assessment task sheet are provided.

In this activity, students make hexagons from pattern blocks by mixing and matching correct combinations.

In this assessment task students use pattern blocks to make the hexagons outlined on workmats. They are asked to make the shape in different ways. Teachers can observe students using slides, flips and turns as they make the shapes. The assessment workmat and a rubric are provided.

In this assessmemt, students make sailboats by mixing and matching appropriate shapes on a work mat.

In this assessment task students are asked to use pattern blocks to make sailboats that are on a workmat. They are asked to show different ways to fill the same shape for example a student may use one trapezoid and three triangles to create the shape. The teacher will be able to observe whether a student uses flips, slides or turns purposefully. The workmat and rubric are provided.

In this assessment task students are asked to choose an object in the classroom and are asked to tell two ways they can measure the object. Students should use measurement words such as tall, short, long, heavy or light to tell how they can measure the objects weight, height or length. Teachers can assess in whole class or small group. An assessment recording sheet and rubric are provided.

In this lesson, students will select an object in the classroom and talk about how they would measure the object.
