Multiplying and Dividing Fractions Mastery Check
A 12-question mastery check for 5th graders covering multiplying fractions, dividing fractions with keep-change-flip, whole-number and fraction division, and short word problems. Students show work and simplify every answer, and the packet includes a tips box reminding them of the key procedures and how to rewrite mixed numbers as improper fractions before computing.
“Create a 12-question mastery check on multiplying and dividing fractions. The first 3 questions should be multiplying fractions with the third problem having a mixed number. The next three problems should be dividing fractions using keep change flip. the next two should be dividing fractions and whole numbers with the whole number being first for one and and second for the other. the last four should be simple word problems with two needing to multiply fractions and two needing to divide”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as an end-of-unit assessment or a checkpoint after several days of fraction instruction, allowing about 40-50 minutes for students to complete all twelve problems.
- Discussion question: Why does dividing by a fraction give a larger number when the divisor is less than one, and how can a student check whether an answer is reasonable?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Let them refer to the tips box and work the first problem aloud with you, and consider reading the word problems aloud so reading load doesn't mask math understanding.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write their own whole-number divided by fraction word problem and explain which operation it requires and why.
