The unit test on multiplying fractions. 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 13 questions, one point each, and a Score line on its first page. Every factor has a denominator of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 or 12. Questions 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 13 ask for simplest form and say so; where an answer is a mixed number, a fraction greater than 1 in lowest terms is right too, and the key gives both. The pre-check and the unit review are packs of their own.
Give Form A the day after the unit review. Question 1 asks for the division first: 4 friends sharing 9 pizzas is 9 ÷ 4, not 4 ÷ 9, and the answer is more than 1 pizza. On question 5 any equation that names the model's columns and rows is right, in either order, and on question 6 any shading of the right parts is right, as the keys say. Question 11 asks for >, < or = without multiplying: a student who multiplies and compares has the right sign but not the idea, so ask for the reason. No question asks a problem from the unit's exit tickets or the practice sheets its lessons use. 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. Ask your child whether 11/12 of 24 is more or less than 24, and how they can tell without multiplying.

The unit test on multiplying fractions, in two forms. Students write sharing as division, find a fraction of a whole number and of a fraction, multiply fractions and mixed numbers, find areas with fraction sides, compare products without multiplying and solve story problems.
