In this performance assessment, students will solve word problems involving fractions and represent the scenario by creating a fractional number line.
This assessment might best be used after there have been fourth grade fraction lessons using common denominators, since these two problems require fraction applications. It would be helpful to have classroom learning teams where students can reflect and receive math feedback from their peers.

B. Operations and Algebraic ThinkingStudents can use mathematics to analyze and evaluate historical, political, economic, scientific, and social problems and make conjectures about possible solutions. |
Solve Word Problems with Fractions 2Students can represent and solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number by using models and equations to represent the problem. |
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.
