Math Test Summary
Simone Bardt
This test is assessing single digit multiplication. The GLCE is N.FL.03.11
Find products fluently up to 10 x 10; find related quotients using multiplication and
division relationships. I think the test will take the third graders about 25-30
minutes. My classmates who took the test took about 5- 10 minutes on average to
complete. Since we are more familiar with the topic I multiplied this time by 3. My
Flesch level was 3.2. My literature connection is Amanda Bean’s Amazing Dream by
Cindy Neuschwander.
