6^th Grade Fractions Pretest

Objectives

1. SWBAT define the following: numerator, denominator, fraction, rational number, greatest common factor (remember, C)

2. SWBAT locate fractions on a number line (apply, CP)

3. SWBAT turn mixed numbers to improper fractions, and vice-versa (apply, CP)

4. SWBAT multiply, divide, add & subtract fractions with like and unlike denominators (apply, CP)

5. SWBAT reduce fractions to their simplest form (apply, CP)

6. SWBAT find relevance in fractions (evaluate, A)

7. SWBAT create a “toolbox” containing tools and strategies that will help them solve arithmetic problems that involve fractions (create, CP)

The above objectives are the basis for the format of my pretest. The questions of my pretest are numbered to match the objective they are asking about. The following pretest is worth 20 points. The point value for each question is written in italics.

Age and Learner Appropriate Testing

I will know my test is age appropriate because my objectives are based on state standards. I will know I am meeting learner needs if I am reading, knowing and implementing students' IEPs. Unless a student has an IEP that requires a related modification/adaptation (which this class does not), all students will take the same test and no modifications/adaptations will be made.
