- Description
- Files
- This mini-assessment is designed to illustrate the important content standard 3.OA.C.7. It consists of carefully chosen fill-in-the-blank problems to address the breadth of multiplication and division facts within 100. This mini-assessment is designed for teacher to use either in the classroom, for self-learning, or in professional development settings to:
- Gain a better understanding of assessing fluency with, and memory of, single-digit products and related quotients;
- Use in professional development as an illustration of CCSS-aligned assessment problems; and,
- Evaluate students' progress toward 3.OA.C.7 in order to prepare to teach this material or to check fluency and memory near the end of the grade.
