TOOL // Gr. 5 Fractions and Decimals Performance Task What is it used for? The tool is used to gather summative assessment data on student understanding of fractions and decimals.

How do you use it? After a teaching/learning unit on fractions and decimals, students are given the task to imagine they are the teacher. The grade 5 students at _____________ school have not yet learned about Fractions or Decimals. Their job is to teach them everything they have learned about Fractions and Decimals. Students are given choice in how they can show their learning: an iMovie Trailer, Explain Everything Presentation, a textbook using Book Creator, posters/anchor charts for a classroom, plan a math lesson, a performance task of assessment or any other idea approved by their teacher. The students are given the success criteria to guide their process. Students complete the task and the teacher assesses using the rubric across categories.
