Math Unit 1 Mid-Module Assessment
Dear Parent(s),
Your child will take short math quiz on _________________. This quiz will
be covering the topics weve learned so far in math. This is the midmodule (mid-unit) assessment, and is pretty short, with only three problems.
However, each problem has a few steps. Below are the tasks your child
will need to do on the quiz for each problem. Well practice of course in
class and review so everyone feels prepared, but any extra review at
home would be great!
Thanks for your continued support!
Tasks for this assessment include:
PROBLEM 1
Draw an array for a certain amount of objects
Example: Draw an array that shows 3 rows of four books.
Add additional rows to the array to show more of the objects
Example: Show 2 more rows of four books on the array.
Complete a number sentence to describe the array
Example: 3 fours + 2 fours = 5 fours
Write a sentence (in words) that explains their thinking
Example: We started with 3 rows of four and added 2 more rows of fours so thats
5 fours total.
Find the total number of objects
Example: There are 20 books total.
Write a multiplication sentence to represent the entire array
Example: 5 x 4 = 20
Lesson
PROBLEM 2
Draw groups of objects
Example: Draw Mrs. Smiths bags of marbles if she has three bags with 4 marbles
in each bag.
Write and solve a multiplication sentence for the drawing above
Example: 3 x 4 = 12
PROBLEM 3
Write a division sentence and explain what the answer represents
Example: Mrs. Smith puts 8 books on her bookcase. She places them on two
shelves. Write a division sentence and tell what the answer represents.
8
2 = 4 The answer means that Mrs. Smith has 4 books on
each shelf.
Draw an array to show how many there would be if objects were added
Example: Mrs. Smith decides to add five more shelves of books to her original two
shelves. Draw an array to show how many books she has now.
Look at an equation and explain why or why not a different equation could
represent the equation shown
Example: Mrs. Smith figured out how many books she put on her bookcase. Her
work is shown in the box below. Would Mrs. Smith get the same result if she
multiplied 6 x 4? Explain why or why not.
(2 x 4) + (5 x 4) = 8 + 20
= 28
Multiplying 6 x 4 will not give Mrs. Smith the same
answer because thats only 24. Shed have to
multiply 7 x 4 because there are 7 rows of 4 books.
