Multiplication and Division - Assessment (2)

The Year 4 Multiplication and Division assessment is designed to evaluate a student's understanding of basic multiplication and division concepts. The assessment includes a variety of tasks such as completing bar models, matching statements to the correct visual representation, and solving problems using a number line. For instance, students are asked to complete a bar model to represent the calculation 6 × 4, which requires an understanding of multiplication as repeated addition. Additionally, they are tasked with matching each statement to the correct bar model, illustrating scenarios like boxes of pencils and pieces of chocolate, to demonstrate their ability to interpret and apply multiplication in practical contexts.

Further exercises involve completing a fact family based on the pieces of a multiplication puzzle, such as 7 × 60, and using a number line to assist in solving problems like 8 × 40 and 630 ÷ 90. The assessment also includes real-life word problems, such as calculating the number of mugs Leanna can buy with a given amount of money, and determining how many more stickers are needed to complete a sticker book. Students are encouraged to show their calculation steps and are awarded marks for correct steps and final answers. The assessment concludes with a self-reflection section where students can rate their confidence in multiplication. These tasks are designed to challenge students' numerical reasoning and provide a comprehensive understanding of their proficiency in multiplication and division.
