Grades 3 to 5 are where math gaps start to stack up. Fractions, multi-digit multiplication and place value in these years are the base for everything in middle school, and at many high-need North County elementary schools fewer than half of students meet the math standard. Your diagnostic (i-Ready, Star or MAP) tells you which students are behind in which area. This kit gives you the next step.
Which schools this fits
- Title I and other high-need elementary schools where fewer than half of students meet the CAASPP math standard
- Schools that already give i-Ready, Star or MAP and need a next step after the report
- Intervention blocks, tutoring and after-school programs for grades 3–5

How it works
- Find the students below grade level in an area on your diagnostic report. A table matches common report domains to the kit's sections.
- Give Quick Check A (6 questions, about 5-10 minutes) to confirm the gap.
- Teach the worked example and use the practice pack in small group, intervention, tutoring or homework.
- Give Quick Check B and record both scores on the class sheet.
What's inside (3 PDFs, 75 pages)
- Grade 3 (5 areas): multiplication and division; place value, adding and subtracting; fractions; time, mass, area and perimeter; data and shapes
- Grade 4 (5 areas): multiplication, factors and patterns; multi-digit operations; fractions and decimals; measurement and angles; geometry
- Grade 5 (5 areas): decimals and multi-digit operations; fractions; expressions and patterns; measurement and volume; coordinate plane and shapes
- For every area: Quick Check Form A and Form B, a worked example, 9 practice questions, and answer keys with worked solutions
- A class record sheet and a family note in English and Spanish for each grade
Good to know
- Every question is original and tagged to a California Common Core math standard. Quick Checks are classroom progress checks, not screeners, and no questions come from any test.
- Goes deeper than our K-5 Next-Step School Kit: three full grade books with two check forms per area. For grades 6-8, see the Next-Step Math Kit, Grades 6–8. For English learners, pair it with our Integrated ELD sentence frames (grades 3-8), which include math discussion cards.
- No app, no login and no student data. The record sheet stays at your school.
