The unit test for the sixth unit of 4th grade, multi-step problems, equations and patterns. Pages 1 and 2 are Form A. Pages 3 and 4 are Form B: the same questions in the same order with different numbers, for a retake, a make-up or a second seating. Each form has 10 questions, one point each, and a Score line on its first page. Questions 7 to 10 (= and ≠, a letter in any place, input-output tables and rules by position) are for the states that teach them in this unit.
Give Form A the day after the unit review. The keys write one equation for each story and one estimate; any equation that fits the story is right, any letter will do, and an estimate rounded another sensible way is fine. Several questions hold more than one part (questions 7 and 8 have four rows each): give the point when all are right, or score them by the part if you like. Leave out questions 7 to 10 if your class does not learn them and score out of 6. 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. When your child solves a story, ask what the letter stands for and whether the answer makes sense next to a quick estimate.

The unit test on multi-step story problems, equations and patterns in two forms, from strip diagrams to rules by position. Students write equations with a letter for the unknown, solve and check multi-step stories, extend number and shape patterns from a rule and find the rule of a table.
