Overview

In this performance assessment, students will be asked to use their knowledge of decimal fractions and decimals to create a design and then answer some questions about it. 

This assessment can be used at any time in grade 4 after students have demonstrated proficiency with using decimal notation to write fractions with denominators of 10 and 100.
