This task asks students to solve some constructed response questions involving division of unit fractions and whole numbers. Students will also multiply decimals and be asked to write a letter than explains mathematically why one sugar substitute is a better deal than another. Standards: 5.NF.7; 5.NF.7a; 5.NF.7b; 5.NF.7c Claim 2: Problem Solving Mathematical Practice 2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively

Multiple-step and interdependent problems to target fractions for fifth grade test prep. DOK Level 3

In this task, students will be asked to solve a series of problems using the four operations with whole numbers and decimals to the hundredths. They will then need to create a plan for a purchase order. Standards: 5.NBT.6; 5.NBT.7 Claim 2: Problem Solving Mathematical Practice 2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively

5th grade Standards: 5.NF.B.6; 5.NF.B.7; 5.NF.B.7b Claim 3-Communicating and Reasoning Focus: multiplication and division of whole numbers and/or fractions, constructed response

This five-part task asks students to reason which payment plan would be the best to save money, multiply whole number and decimals (money), and find patterns in numbers, all the while explaining their thinking. Great practice for SBAC and building math stamina!

This task asks students to make schedules, adjust schedules, determine the costs of both ticket prices and food items using operations involving adding/subtracting decimals (money), converting minutes to hours, and more.

This is a 4-part task that puts students into a real-life scenario of weeding and planting a garden. This tasks involves operations with fractions, whole numbers, and time conversions. Great practice for SBAC and building math stamina!

This performance task asks students to add, subtract, multiply, and divide in a real-world situation throughout 5 rigorous problems. Great practice/review for SBAC testing!

This task asks students to solve some constructed response questions involving division of unit fractions and whole numbers.

This task asks students to use what they've learned about volume to help an architect design aquariums. Perfect for SBAC test prep!

This task mimics the look of the Smarter Balanced Performance Task for 5th grade and asks students to answer DOK 1, 2, and 3 level questions. Great to prepare our students for the SBAC.

This task asks students to reason which payment plan would be the best to save money, multiply whole number and decimals (money), and find patterns in numbers.

This item reviews math concepts for 5th grade using the Smarter Balanced question stems. Following each question is the answer as well as the scoring rubric, so teachers and students will better understand how each type of Claim 2 question will be scored.

This task asks students to make schedules, adjust schedules, determine the costs of both ticket prices and food items using operations involving adding/subtracting decimals (money), converting minutes to hours, and more.

These words have been taken from the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium Item Specifications for Grade 5. Your students will encounter these words during the test, so I've created a master list of words as well as flashcards they can fill out to strengthen their understanding of their grade-level math vocabulary.

This performance task asks students to consider the volume of a bin and determine how many boxes, of two separate dimensions, will fill either the entire box or exactly half using both types of boxes individually and as a combination. This task also asks students to explain their thinking. Great for SBAC test prep!

This item reviews math concepts for 5th grade using the Claim 4 Smarter Balanced question stems. Following each question is the answer, as well as the scoring rubric, so teachers and students will better understand how each type of Claim 4 question will be scored.

This digital activity focuses on adding/subtracting unlike fractions, along with an error analysis piece to gauge the level of student understanding.

This hands-on performance task asks students to build rectangular prisms using linker cubes. Given one side length, students will have to determine the height and width to make a cube with a specific volume. This task also asks students to compare and contrast two rectangular prisms they build and discuss the effects of reducing the volume in half. This activity works best if you have 60 linker cubes (or any other cubes that will stick together.)

Using both the Smarter Balanced math question stems and sample items, these word problems will ask students to both write equations and solve problems that include all operations with fractions, money, area, volume and more. A great way to review before testing.
