Overview

In this performance assessment, students will use their understanding of rounding and place value to solve problems. Students will solve math problems based on rounding and answer a real-life problem based on their understanding of place value and rounding.

This assessment might best be used after students have learned about rounding to the nearest 10s or 100s place.

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.

Place Value 1

Students can use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.

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.
