Assessment Plan

Pre-assessment

VERY First part of the unit:

Since there was only a few time to ponder about what it is like to multiply decimals, the

students started with answering a set of questions on a worksheet by themselves to see what

they know about multiplying decimals. Since we had to move on with the lesson the next day, the

materials on the pre assessment included most of the aspects of the unit in a page. The

assessment consists of multiplying decimals as it is, multiplying decimals with patterns, and

money problems with the application of multiplying with an expanded form. Once the students are

done with the first page of the worksheet, they will turn to the back of their worksheet and write

something about what they know about multiplying decimals.

Pre-assessments during the lesson

Lesson 1:

Every lesson starts with a Brain Talk. Brain talk means that all of the student come in the

carpet area to do some math drills in their head and sometimes be asked about a new concept.

This will be their daily routine every time we start a lesson. For lesson 1, students will sit in the

carpet area to do some brain talk regarding the patterns in multiplying the decimals. The teacher

will write the pattern problem like 1.5 X 10, 1.5 X 100, and etc. in a row on the small whiteboard

right next to the teacher. Once the students got a hold of the idea of the how decimals have

patterns in multiplying, the teacher will motivate the students by sticking some of the contents

onto the whiteboard that will be learned in this lesson and have students come up on the board

to write something that they know about the topic. This is a great way to see where the teacher

can be more flexible in their teaching.

Lesson 2:

Because the Brain Talk will be the students daily routine, this will be also used to wonder

about the distributive property and partial product and come up with an example problem on a

piece of paper.

Lesson 3:

Students will be introduced as to use the Area Model to solve the multiplication with

whole numbers. -- in the carpet area.

Lesson 4:

Teacher will be asking the students if they know the repeated addition. Teacher will be

giving a term and the students will be telling what repeated addition is.

Lesson 5:

Ask the students what is the difference with multiplying decimals and whole numbers.

Teacher will go over how to multiply with whole numbers. An example will be 15 X 17.

Formative Assessments:

Lesson 1:

For learning - Students will be going over the Share and show in the Go Math Textbook in

pairs while the teacher is going around them.

As learning - Students will come up with their own patterns with the decimal multiplication and

share with their peers to see if they can answer the questions.

Lesson 2:

For learning - Students will go over their textbook content with the teacher while the teacher is

going over the concept of the textbook.

As learning - Students will go in pairs to answer the questions that the teacher have listed on the

board. The questions will be written by the teacher on the board.

Lesson 3:

For learning - Teacher will be showing how an Area model works for multiplying decimals.
As learning - Students will be given a couple of questions based on the number of group

members within a group and they will be answering the questions collaboratively. Teacher will be

going around to see if the students are taking turns in answering the problem.

Lesson 4:

For learning - Teacher will go over the Unlock the Problem section of the textbook which serves

as an overview of the lesson.

As learning - Students will be given a worksheet and is asked to work in pairs to see how each

other is doing.

Lesson 5:

For learning - Teacher will go over Unlock the Problem with the class together.

As learning - Have students work in their table groups to come up with a decimal multiplication

problem and give a presentation on how they did the process on a small whiteboard.

Summative Assessment:

Lesson 1: Students will be paired up to get a Chromebook and play an online Multiplication

Decimals Basketball Game. This is an online game where they can compete with each other in

pairs and those points will be going to their own point system.

Lesson 2: Students will be answering the Share and Show section of the textbook. They will

choose 4 questions from the Share and Show section of the book and are encouraged to use

the partial product and the distributive property method. This will serve as their exit slip for the

day.

Lesson 3: Students will become the area model where they will act out on how the area model

works. This is a way of a role playing but it will comprehend in their brain which number will be

multiplied to get the right answer in the box. Each student will be the expanded form of the

numbers in the problem. The teacher will go around the groups to tape the boxes. Students might

need tapes afterwards to tape their inside part of the area model. Students will choose among

themselves on what number they want to be and write down the number and stick it on their chest.
Teacher will be going around with the rubric to see how the students are understanding the

concept. The rubric is graded for the whole group.

Lesson 4: Students will come up with a situation where we need money and make it into a role

playing situation. Another output is where the students have to write out a problem related to

multiplying money. The output of the students will be a role playing situation, a word problem

based on their role play, and the answer to the problem they have. For the students who are not

performing, they will use the students rubric to grade the students. This rubric will be completed

by the students by writing 1 through 5 on the small whiteboard. Teacher will pick the highest

number and the lowest number to get the score for the group.

Lesson 5: Students will answer the Share and Show section of their Textbook.

VERY Last part of the lesson:

Summative Assessment for the UNIT:

Students will work on the Final Unit Test in order to see what they have learned that is

attached in the Math textbook.
