Prepare your students for success on SBAC and CAASPP with this engaging and rigorous 4th Grade Math Performance Task featuring a fun Mini Golf Course Design theme.

This resource is designed to mirror the structure and expectations of state testing while keeping students actively engaged in meaningful, real-world problem solving.

Students take on the role of mini golf course designers as they analyze data from a table, calculate costs, solve multi-step problems, and explain their thinking using numbers, words, and equations.

What’s Included

• 1 complete SBAC-style math performance task
• 6 structured questions:
  • Numerical response
  • Multiple choice
  • Multiplication-based problem
  • Constructed response with reasoning
  • Multi-strategy explanation
  • Extended response (multi-part)

• Student pages
• Teacher answer key
• Teacher rubric (4-point SBAC-style)
