Gr 4 and 5 Math: Adding and Subtracting Decimals Quiz and Project

This download is two items in one! It's perfect for your 4th Grade or 5th Grade math unit on adding and subtracting decimals to the thousandths.

1) The easy-to-use assessment/quiz requires students to estimate before calculating addition and subtraction of decimals to the thousandths.

It’s quick and simple to mark out of 20 using the included answer key!

I use this piece as a simple artifact to include in my students' math portfolios and to show parents during conferences.

2) The project allows students to plan a 5-day road trip including:

o Calculating how much gas they need and how much it will cost (using metric: litres and km).

o Finding hotels and calculating the total price per night including taxes.

o Finding attractions to visit on the way.

o Determining how much to spend on food on the 5-day trip.

Grades to Use With:

This product is designed for students in Grades 4 and 5 who are learning about decimal operations. It meets standards in both the USA and British Columbia, Canada for Grade 5 students. It could also be used as a review in Grade 6 classes or in middle school special education classrooms.

How to Use:

1) I use the assessment at the end of a unit when students are comfortable with lining up decimals to add and subtract. There are some tricky questions where students need to add zeros after the last digit of a number.

2) I use the project over a couple of independent work periods. Students will need access to the internet to research distances, hotels, and attractions. You could also assess the project to see your students' comprehension.
