Questions about Improving Our Street
What does the Improving Our Street worksheet cover?
It practises improving a community — 8 questions for Kindergarten to Grade 2, all on Common Core D2.Civ.14.K-2: Describe how people have tried to make their community better. The instruction to pupils is “Circle the best answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which Common Core standard does Improving Our Street practise?
D2.Civ.14.K-2 — D2.Civ.14.K-2, in the Civics domain for Kindergarten to Grade 2. The published standard reads: “Describe how people have tried to improve their communities over time.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Improving Our Street is written for Kindergarten to Grade 2, typically ages 7-8. It is one of the sheets on D2.Civ.14.K-2, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Improving Our Street come with an answer key?
Yes. All 8 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of Improving Our Street can I print?
25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
