[accordion-item title=”Intentionality…”]

This assessment should be completed without the use of a calculator. The purpose of the Day 5 assessment is for students to demonstrate their understanding of the following big ideas.

Number:

• Fractions can be represented in a variety of ways;
• Fractions (and their decimal representation) represent values relative to a whole (for example, one whole pack);
• Quantities represented as a decimal are fractions limited to base ten denominators (i.e.: tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.);
• One tenth is one-tenth of one whole, one is ten times greater than one-tenth;
• One hundredth is one-tenth of one-tenth, one-tenth is ten times greater than one-hundredth;
• Multiplication can represent “groups of”, or multiple copies of the same quantity;
• Multiplication is an extension of counting, skip counting and repeated addition.

The independent assessment will allow students to demonstrate concepts and skills related to the following learning goals:

• I will represent decimal tenths and decimal hundredths.
• I will demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between ones, tenths and hundredths.
• I will add decimals.
• I will multiply decimals by a whole number.
• I will solve equations involving the addition of negative integers.
• I will demonstrate an understanding of equivalence.

Students might write and/or model their answers independently. Students can also be interviewed by their teacher.

An alternative assessment opportunity should be offered if this tool will not successfully capture what the student knows, understands or can do.
