We wrote our multiplication and division test this morning, and I was able to go over them all. Students are bringing them home to be signed and returned today.
I explained to the students that all the questions on this test, were questions that I expect them to know. They are all things they should be able to do by the end of the unit, so because it is expected, even if they got them all right, it is an AC. This doesn't mean that they did badly on the test, it simply means that for multiplication and division, they know exactly what they are supposed to and have a good base for moving forward to grade 5 next year!
