1.Based on the data in the "Formative Assessment Results" document, it appears that the "Lesson Plan: Multiplying Tenths" was effective in teaching the students the concept of multiplying tenths. All the students who participated in the formative assessment showed an understanding of the concept and were able to correctly answer the questions.Based on the data, Michael may need more instruction on basic math operations, such as multiplication and division.WHY? Maria may need more instruction on reading comprehension and understanding new vocabulary.WHY? Daniel may need more instruction on grade-level content and basic skills, such as reading and math operations. WHY? Out of the 19 students that were assessed, 16 students (84%) scored 80% or higher, indicating that they had a good understanding of the concept. The remaining 3 students scored below 80%, but still demonstrated some knowledge of the concept. SPECIFICALLY WHICH QUESTIONS SEEMED THE MOST DIFFICULT? WHY?

Student Name	Score for Questions 1-4	Responses for Question 5
Dakota I.	25	I don't know
Bella Y.	75	You count where they cross
Traci C.	75	Because 10 times 10 equals 100.
Daniel B.	25	(blank)
Will S.	100	Multiplying a decimal by a decimal makes a smaller number
Maria E.	50	You shade them.
Landon S.	25	???
Michael P.	75	A tenth times a tenth equals a hundredth
Abby M.	50	You multiply
Owen J.	0	Line up the decimals
Jake C.	100	Decimals times decimals make hundredths
Leo K.	25	They only go half as far
Ben W.	25	(blank)
Lily A.	75	The answer is shaded.
Bryce C.	50	Where they cross over
Jack K.	100	Tenths make tenths smaller so the answer is hundredths
Tina P.	100	I count the number of squares that are shaded where the tenths cross.
Josie I.	75	We use tenths to make hundredths when multiplying.
Marcus L.	75	Multiplying by small numbers makes smaller numbers.
Miguel N.	75	Multiplying by decimals make bigger decimals.
Katy C.	25	The decimal number gets bigger
Jon R.	100	(blank)
Jeremy C.	50	I don't know
Penny B.	100	Anytime you multiply by a decimal the answer is smaller. Hundredths are smaller than tenths.
Joe S.	75	The answer is where they cross.
Jenny B.	75	Count the number of squares that are dark

State/National Academic Standard(s):

Standard 5.NBT.7 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. In this standard, dividing decimals is limited to a whole number dividend with a decimal divisor or a decimal dividend with a whole number divisor. Compare the value of the quotient on the basis of the values of the dividend and divisor.

Learning Objective(s):

Given a problem and a 1010 graph, the student will be able to multiply tenths by tenths using concrete and pictorial representations with 80% accuracy.
