In my district, we use a Math program called "Go Math." Have you heard of it? It's not my favorite, but I make it work. I have found that the program is lacking assessments. Each chapter has a mid-chapter check assessment as well as an end-of-chapter test. Those are great, but I like to check how kids are doing in between. I will often walk around with my clipboard and checklists, however, that information isn't always communicated to parents. I like to have some sort of pencil/paper assessment each week to send home to let parents know how their kids are doing. I created Math exit slips for first grade. It's a pack of 1/2 sheet assessments (2 to a page) that you can give to your kids as an exit slip after a lesson or particular skill has been taught. The pack covers a myriad of skills (126 pages worth) and can be used with ANY Math curriculum. I included four exit slips for each skill along with an editable checklist. This will allow you to do periodic checks on how your kids are doing with a specific skill. You can check my exit slips out below. You are going to be so happy you did. Assessment has never been so easy and QUICK!
