Multiplication and Division within 100 Mini-Assessment
- 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.
How does this mini-assessment exemplify the instructional Shifts required by CCSSM?
Focus Belongs to the major work of third grade Coherence Sets the stage for multiplying multi-digit whole numbers and decimals, working with fractions, ratios, proportional relationships, and algebra 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
- Mathematically:
- Uses number facts once to ensure the breadth of the standard is addressed
- Places unknowns in all positions
- Begins the learning trajectory toward full fluency with the multiplication and division of multi-digit whole numbers and decimals
- As a mini-assessment:
- Allows the teacher to evaluate students on their skill with the content in 3.OA.C.7 in order to prepare to teach 3.OA.C.7 or to check student progress after teaching 3.OA.C.7
- Is easily altered to allow for repeated use, ensuring that students are gaining adequate practice toward fluency
