The unit test on equivalent and comparing fractions. Pages 1 and 2 are Form A. Pages 3 and 4 are Form B: the same questions in the same order with different fractions, for a retake, a make-up or a second seating. Each form has 11 questions, one point each, and a Score line on its first page. Questions 1 to 10 are the Common Core part of the unit; question 11 (benchmark fractions) is for Virginia, which teaches it in 3rd grade. The pre-check and the unit review are packs of their own.
Give Form A the day after the unit review. Questions 1 to 10 cover the Common Core lessons. Question 11, at the bottom of the second page, is the Virginia lesson on benchmark fractions: leave it out if your class does not learn it and score out of 10. Question 10 shows two pans of different sizes: the right answer is No, because fractions can only be compared when the wholes are the same size. The answer keys name each question's skill, so a missed question points to the lesson to reteach.
Use Form B as a check after the unit. Fold two paper strips the same length, one into fourths and one into eighths, and ask your child to show you that 2/8 is the same as 1/4.

The unit test on equivalent fractions and comparing fractions, in two forms. Students find equal fractions with strips, area models and number lines, write whole numbers as fractions, and compare fractions on their own and in stories.
