Assessment
What will I be expected to know,
understand, and be able to do in
order to demonstrate my learning?
Formative- I can/Not yet, Exit cards with examples of solved problems, Label groups 3- I can do this and want word
problems to practice 2-need more practice 1- have no idea- need teacher help. Math journaling.
Find someone who….Review Students explain what they heard during the lesson to another student,
agree/disagree/discuss
Homework check/board work
Summative Performance Assessments, Chapter test
M.3.A 1. Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each.
For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.
M.3.A 2. Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when
56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of
8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.
M.3.A 3. Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and
measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the
problem.
M.3.A 4. Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For
example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 × ? = 48, 5 = � ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?.
