Multi-Step Problems Using the Four Operations Mini-Assessment
- Description
- Files
This mini-assessment is designed to illustrate the standard 4.OA.A.3, which sets an expectation for students to solve multistep word problems using the four operations. This mini-assessment is designed for teachers to use either in the classroom, for self-learning, or in professional development settings to:
- Evaluate students' understanding of 4.OA.A.3 in order to prepare to teach this material or to check for student ability to demonstrate understanding and to apply these concepts;
- Gain knowledge about assessing applied problem solving at the depth expected at grade 4; and
- Illustrate CCSS-aligned assessment problems.
- Mathematically:
- Assesses different types of application problems with appropriate sophistication to grade 4
- Requires students to represent situations with an equation using a given variable and interpret the meaning of a remainder
- Showcases how supporting work (e.g., 4.MD.A.1) reinforces the major work of the grade
- As a mini-assessment:
- Incorporates a range of complexity, ensuring all students are able to answer some questions or parts of some questions to demonstrate what they know and are able to do
- Offers analysis of common student errors and justification for closely reviewing student solution strategies
- Engages students with rich, real-world contexts
