Multi-Digit Addition and Subtraction Mini-assessment
- Description
- Files
This mini-assessment is designed to illustrate the standard 4.NBT.B.4, which sets an expectation for fluently adding and subtracting multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. This mini-assessment is designed for teachers to use either in the classroom, for self-learning, or in professional development settings to:
- Evaluate students’ progress toward the skills described by 4.NBT.B.4 in order to prepare to teach this material or to check for fluency near the end of the grade;
- Gain a better understanding of assessing fluency with adding and subtracting multi-digit whole numbers; and
- Illustrate CCSS-aligned assessment problems.

Making the Shifts
How does this mini-assessment exemplify the instructional Shifts required by CCSSM?
Focus Belongs to the major work of fourth grade Coherence Addresses adding and subtracting of multi-digit whole numbers and sets the stage for multi-digit decimal operations Rigor Conceptual Understanding: not targeted in this mini-assessment
Procedural Skill and Fluency: primary in this mini-assessment
Application: not targeted in this mini-assessment

Noteworthy features of this resource
Mathematically:
- Uses a variety of addition and subtraction problems ranging from 3-digit to 6-digit numbers
- Offers opportunities for students to use computation algorithms as well as computation strategies
- Builds upon a learning trajectory started in kindergarten towards full fluency with addition and subtraction
As a mini-assessment:
- Allows the teacher to evaluate students on their skill with the content in 4.NBT.B.4 in order to prepare to teach 4.NBT.B.4 or to check student progress after teaching 4.NBT.B.4
- Is easily altered to allow for repeated use, ensuring that students are gaining adequate practice toward fluency
