Overview

In this performance assessment, students will use their knowledge of multiplying multi-digit numbers and apply it to a performance task.  Specifically, students will be asked to multiply four-digit by one-digit numbers and two two-digit numbers. Also, students will be asked to use an area model to help explain how place value helps them to solve the problems. 

Students will use the problem sheet to give their answers to the questions in the assessment.

Big Ideas & Competencies

Big Ideas Competencies

A. Understanding and Applying Number Systems

Students understand that numbers hold value and can choose the appropriate representations and algorithms to reason quantitatively, abstractly, and efficiently.

Strategies for Multiplication 1

Students can multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations.

NOTE ABOUT ASSESSMENT RUBRICS

Below are analytic teacher rubrics. The column on the left shows the dimension that is being measured in the student’s performance. The levels across the top row indicate the performance level in the dimensions. Occasionally all dimensions and performance levels are exemplified by multiple students in a single recording.
