Decimals - Assessment (2)

The Year 4 Decimals Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of students' understanding of decimal numbers and their equivalents in fractions. One of the tasks involves completing part-whole models and interpreting shaded areas on a hundred square to represent decimals and fractions. For instance, students are asked to determine the shaded and unshaded portions of the square, expressing one as a fraction and the other as a decimal. Additionally, they are required to draw counters on a place value grid to visually represent the decimal number 1.42, encompassing ones, tenths, and hundredths.

Further challenges in the assessment include comparing decimal numbers using the less than, greater than, or equal to symbols, and matching fractions with their correct decimal equivalents. The assessment also incorporates practical application questions, such as rounding a long jump distance to the nearest metre and ordering jumps from longest to shortest. Moreover, students must calculate the remaining quantity of paint after a given amount has been used, combining their knowledge of decimals and fractions. The assessment ensures that students are comfortable with various aspects of decimals, from basic representation to real-world applications, and it includes a self-assessment section where students can rate their confidence with the topic.
