Multiplication and division - Assessment

This assessment material is designed to evaluate a student's understanding of basic multiplication and division concepts. The first task involves circling groups of five counters to demonstrate division into equal groups. Another question presents a practical scenario where Esin has 12 sweets and needs to divide them equally between two bowls, prompting the student to calculate how many sweets are in each bowl. Additionally, the assessment includes a problem where four children are sharing eight crayons equally, and students must complete the corresponding number sentence to find out how many crayons each child receives.

Further exercises test the student's ability to apply division in different contexts. For instance, Tia has eight marbles and wants to place two marbles in each jar; the student has to determine the total number of jars she will need. The assessment also includes a confidence scale for students to rate their comfort level with division. More complex tasks involve comparing numbers using greater than, less than, or equal to symbols, and using bar models and number lines to solve division problems. For example, Leanna has 40 pence in 10p coins and spends 20p on biscuits; students must work out how many 10p coins she has left. The assessment concludes with exercises that require identifying odd numbers and solving division calculations such as 80 divided by 10, 70 divided by an unknown number to make 10, and 16 divided by 2, using number lines for support if necessary.
