6.NS.A.1

Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, create a story context for (2/3) ÷ (3/4) and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient; use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (2/3) ÷ (3/4) = 8/9 because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3. (In general, (a/b) ÷ (c/d) = ad/bc.) How much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share 1/2 lb of chocolate equally? How many 3/4-cup servings are in 2/3 of a cup of yogurt? How wide is a rectangular strip of land with length 3/4 mi and area 1/2 square mi? Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples.

6.NS.B.2

Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.

6.NS.B.3

Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.

6.NS.B.4

Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2). Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers.

Lesson Overview

Today, my students will complete their final assessment for Unit 1. This assessment encompasses all of the standards presented in this unit. It measures my students' levels of content mastery.

The data will be used to determine areas in which some students may need reteaching. I will also use the data to plan for grouping students in upcoming units. In my school, after school tutorial sessions are used to reteach content to students. So, the students' performance on this test will be used to plan and schedule these interventions as well.

Assessment Administration

Since this is our Unit 1 Assessment, I will go over the Test Day Protocol prior to distributing the test. I want to make sure that students know the norms for class participation on a testing day.

Test Day Protocol

All students must be quiet
No sharpening pencils during a quiz or test
All students must be honorable during the assessment
Cheating policy – If you cheat you fail.
You may not leave your seat without permission
Should you finish your test paper early, you must choose a quiet activity to engage in. I will provide some possible activities for you to choose from (e.g., read a book for pleasure, attempt a challenge worksheet, or study vocabulary)

This assessment contains 22 multiple choice questions and 3 constructed response items, for a total of 25 questions. For this reason, students will be given approximately 60 minutes to complete the test. In general, I give my students time based on the following criteria:

2 minutes per multiple choice question
4 minutes per constructed response question

I always allow an extra 4-5 minutes to account for students to get organized and settled.
