Multiplying and Dividing Fractions Mastery Check
By Brandy H.
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.

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.
