Multiplication and Division (1) - Assessment

The Multiplication and Division assessment for Year 5 students involves a series of tasks designed to test their numerical skills. Students are asked to identify multiples of 7 and write a number less than 50 in a given box, with the correct answer being 41. They also encounter practical problems, such as calculating the number of juice cartons in a 420 cm tall tower, with each carton being 6 cm high. In another question, they determine how much further Leanna runs than Rosie, with Leanna covering a distance 10 times greater than Rosie's 600 metres. The assessment also challenges students to recognise prime numbers, multiples of 4, square numbers, and factors of 18 through various activities, including shading the correct numbers on a hundred square and drawing arrays of 18 tiles.

Further tasks include a confidence check on place value knowledge, where students rate their own understanding. They are then asked to complete calculations using the provided cards to place numbers correctly in a diagram, testing their ability to multiply and divide by 10 and 100. Students also categorise numbers as even, not even, cube, or not cube. An additional exercise requires them to fill in a multiplication pyramid. Finally, they calculate the total number of pencils in a box, given the number of pencils in a pencil case and the number of cases in a box. The assessment covers a range of mathematical concepts, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of the students' multiplication and division proficiency.
