Math Quiz

On Thursday we have our first quiz in class! It will be on Place Value in math. I believe that when we do quizzes (or tests), nothing on the quiz should be a surprise. So I will always let students know what to expect (and study for). Tests are meant to assess what we are learning in class, not to stump them or surprise them. Therefore, as often as I can, I will try to post about upcoming quizzes/tests so that parents and students know what to expect! Of course, we will also go over it in class!

For this quiz, students are expected to know numbers to 10,000 and be able to show them in a variety of ways (with pictures, numbers & words). Here are what the questions are based on:

1. Show a number using pictures (and give the number that a picture represents)

2. Write the number in words (i.e. 234 = Two hundred thirty four)
**Remember! We don't use the word "and" when writing out our numbers!

3. Write the numberals for given words (i.e. Three hundred two = 302)

4. Write a number out using numerals & words (i.e. 6235 = 6 thousands + 2 hundreds + 3 tens + 5 ones)

5. Be able to give the standard and expanded form of numbers
*Standard Form = 4572
*Expanded Form = 4000 + 500 + 70 + 2

6. Be able to tell me the place value for the underlined digit (i.e. 6543 = The 5 stands for hundreds)

To study at home, I would recommend making up a few of each question based on questions we've already done (in our math duotangs). If students can answer them quickly and correctly, they probably have a good understanding of the math and should be confident they will do just fine on the quiz!

Happy Studying!
