Measurement Pre and Post Assessment Questions Bank

Transcription

1 Measurement Pre and Post Assessment Questions Bank The measurement questions/activities in this file may assist classroom teachers in determining student understanding and instructional next steps (entry and exit) related to the measurement strand addressed in grades K-6, Ontario Curriculum Grades 1-8, Mathematics. Questions have been constructed to assess students understanding of concepts; as well, mathematical process expectations. These process expectations are embedded in the achievement chart. Each of the process expectations are addressed at the beginning of each grade level in the Ontario Curriculum Grades 1-8, Mathematics. Knowledge and Understanding Concept Understanding Knowledge of content Procedural Fluency Facts, terms, procedural skills, use of tools Thinking Application Communication Problem Solving develop, select, and apply problem-solving strategies as students pose and solve problems and conduct investigations, to help deepen their mathematical understanding; Reflecting demonstrate that students are reflecting on and monitoring their thinking to help clarify their understandings as they complete an investigation or solve a problem; Reasoning and Proving develop and apply reasoning skills to make and investigate conjectures and construct and defend arguments; Selecting Tools and Computational Strategies Select and use a variety of concrete, visual, and electronic learning tools and appropriate computational strategies to investigate mathematical ideas and to solve problems; Connecting Make connections among mathematical concepts and procedures, and relate mathematical ideas to situations or phenomena drawn from other contexts; Communicating Communicate mathematical thinking orally, visually, and in writing, using everyday language, as well as mathematical vocabulary, and a variety of representations, and observing basic mathematical conventions. Representing Create a variety of representations of mathematical ideas ( example: using physical models, pictures, numbers, variables, diagrams, graphs, onscreen dynamic presentations) make connections among them, and apply them to solve problems;

2 Classroom teachers may select questions related to the measurement concepts and Big Ideas, to assist in diagnostic, formative and summative assessment. These questions are not meant to replace assessment tasks related to the measurement unit activities in the primary math resource, Math Makes Sense; rather, these questions may provide additional information to classroom teachers in assessment of and for learning. Each grade level bank consists of questions addressing specific expectations in measurement with classification of mathematical processes involved. In many cases, a question can belong to more than one process. Classroom teachers may choose to use some or all of the questions for their grade level, depending on the overall expectations that will be addressed in a particular unit. The same questions can be used as pre and post assessment questions, with the understanding that these questions will not be taken up or reviewed with students during the course of instruction. Instructions for copying questions from the grade level question bank (PDF files) to Word Perfect are enclosed in this folder. Special thanks and acknowledgement is extended to the staff of Coe Hill Public School, for initiating this project as well as contributing questions and activities for the grade level assessments.

17 Gr 4 Unit Test: Measurement Marking Guide Result: Name: Question # Points to look for see Answer and Marking Guide for additional detail 1 Answer: 15cm 2 Measure your classroom. Estimates should be within 2-4 metres of actual. Responses must include a comparison. Example: I know the teacher s desk is about a meter long, so that means 10 of these would cover the distance. 3 Measure the line segment plus or minus a mm 4 Answer needs to demonstrate that circumference is a linear measurement. Use of string, paper strip, chain of paper clips and then measured to determine length. Units cm is best choice, however, some may use mm. 5 They both walk the same distance. Explanation must include the equivalency of 1km = to 1000m. 6 Answer is B (48 units 2 ) Evidence of understanding on diagram should include new measurements or drawing of new area 7 Answer is 26cm; if student selects answer 6 the formula is being applied incompletely. 8 Answer is c; if student selects a and/or d they are likely confusing area and perimeter 9 The right hand polygon has the larger area Explanation should include counting of whole and partial squares 10 Strawberry has a mass of 10g 11 A variety of answers selection of items needs to be as close to 2kg as possible 2kg = 2000 g 12 Greatest mass is the flour 2.5kg or 2500g, least is red pepper 46g 13 Answer is C. 14 Answer is C 15 Best answer is square meters 16 The answer is 4. Work needs to indicate the conversion of 1L to 1000ml, using repeated addition, subtraction or division, multiplication 17 Juice jug about a L; coffee and can of pop less than a L; sink few litres, pool-many litres 18 Answer a= 5mL b=250ml c=300ml d= 15mL e= 250mL f= 500mL 19 Answer is 500mL do not accept ½ a litre as question asks for ml 20 In order from left to right: 3, 2, 4, 1 21 A = 10 hours; b= 5 minutes; c= 20minutes; d= 1 minute 22 Piano lesson ends at 4: Sam left at 9:05
