Instructional Ideas

• Review the rubric with individuals prior to handing out the assessment
• Use with third graders to connect area and partitioning shapes to make sense of division

Classroom Considerations

• If using as an assessment, resource assumes pupils can divide shapes into equal parts and understand fraction words
• The test booklet starts on page four and ends on page nine

Pros

• Works well in small learning groups
• The 18-page packet includes a rubric, one assessment problem broken up into three parts, and a teacher guide explaining the assessment
• Requires that learners explain their thinking through words and mathematical representation

Cons

• None
