One page to give on the first day of the unit on multiplying a fraction by a whole number, before any teaching. Its six questions are on what the unit builds on: counting the unit fractions in a fraction, a point on a number line past 1, adding the same fraction three times, multiplication facts, a fraction greater than 1 as a mixed number (from the last unit) and one thing shared equally. It has a Score line, and the key names the lesson each question leads into. The unit review and the unit test are packs of their own.
Give the pre-check on the first day and sort the class by what they missed. Adding 2/5 three times is the heart of the unit (3 × 2/5): a student who gets it is ready; one who adds the denominators too needs fraction strips again. A student who cannot write 11/4 as a mixed number will need help with the stories, whose answers are mixed numbers. The sharing question leads into the state lesson at the end of the unit.
Use it to see what your child needs before the unit starts: ask what 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 makes, and how many fourths make 1 whole.

A check to give before the unit on multiplying a fraction by a whole number, on the fractions and facts it builds on. Students count unit fractions, name a point past 1, add the same fraction again, multiply facts, write a mixed number and share one thing equally.
