Formative and
Summative
Assessments

[What is an array? ]

[Students will view different

images and sort them into
arrays or not arrays. Then
students will match addition
sentences to arrays. ]

[A participation check off

and the students array
match.]

[Drawing arrays]

[Students will play roll an array.

They will use dice to roll the
number of columns and the
number of rows. Then they will
play geometry around the room
and draw arrays as well as
matching arrays to addition
sentences.]
[Students will view arrays as a
class and write an addition and
multiplication sentence to go
with the arrays. Then students
will draw their own arrays and
write addition and multiplication
sentences, creating Arrays of
sunshine.]
[We will complete a few word
problems as a class for
practice. Then students will
complete word problems on
their own. Students who are
ahead will write their own word
problems. Students will play
geometry around the room,
solving word problems. ]

[Roll an array recording

sheet, geometry around
the room participation,
check off using
recording sheet.]

[Writing addition and

multiplication
sentences for arrays.
]

[Word Problems. ]

[Math sentences, array

of sunshine, thumbs for
students to show what
they understand.]

[Thumbs about word

problems, answers to
word problems.
