How many suvat equations do you use? I have taught, in two countries in multiple schools using multiple books, four equations of constant acceleration. That seems to be standard. Each equation leaves out one variable, and the four standard equations have one question each leaving out $s$ (position), $v$ (final velocity), $a$ (acceleration), and $t$ (time interval). My first question assumes that the student is taught four equations, rather than five.
A question to develop understanding would be to derive a constant acceleration question that does not include the variable $u$ (initial velocity). For true understanding, the student would need two derivations: one from the other four equations, and one from first principles. One derivation uses just mathematics, the other would include some physics. The equation, of course, is the following or an equivalent:
$$s=vt-\frac 12at^2$$
A question to test understanding would be for the student to explain a general strategy for solving word problems of constant acceleration. For full marks the student would need to include most of these ideas:
Make sure the problem truly is about constant acceleration.
There are five variables involved. (The student of course must list them.)
Some concepts, such as distance and speed, are derived from these variables but are not themselves in the equations.
If the values of any three variables are given, the other two can be found.
Three values must be found from the wording of the problem.
Sometimes a value is given implicitly rather than explicitly. Examples include starting from rest, coming to a complete stop, dropping, returning to the start position.
Care must be taken as to sign. Whether a value is positive or negative is sometimes also given implicitly rather than explicitly.
