I got the chance to review Shelly from Smiling and Shining in Second Grade's Common Core Math Assessments:

Here's Shelly's description from TpT: 

This Common Core Math Assessment packet for 2nd grade includes at least 2 assessments for every common core math standard. Also included is a colorful page with the name and description of each standard and a simple black and white standard page description.

When I first got this pack I was amazed at the different options for each standard.  I printed the color version of the standards description along with all of the pages and put them in sheet protectors in a binder.

 

 Here you can see the different versions of some of the assessments.  I love how the standard is clearly labeled in the top right hand corner of each page.

 

 

 

I initially thought to use it simply for assessments.  I looked at standards that I wanted to review and printed out copies as a traditional assessment.

 

 

 See how there's a simple border around each page?  I found that the border left the perfect spot to record the grade on that assessment.

I love that this resource allows me to see which standards my class rocks and which ones I need to review with individual kids.  This got me to thinking of another way to use it.

As part of my math work stations, I meet with 2-3 kids each day.  Since I've put them in their group based on their math areas of strength and weakness, this is the perfect opportunity to give kids targeted instruction in what they need!  Since everything is in sheet protectors, I had kids use their dry erase markers to work on the sheets together.  Since I have them working on the same standard, but different problems, there was a lot of math talk happening.....teacher heaven!

 

 

This is definitely a resource that you can use in your classroom immediately.  Just print and you're ready to go!  With the end of the year coming up soon, this is a great way to make sure that you're kiddos have mastered each standard in second grade...which will make report cards easier in May/June!
