What this quiz should check
Topic: Multiplying multi-digit whole numbers with area models and partial products (4.NBT.B.5). A good grade 4 quiz on this asks students to:
- Multiply a number up to four digits by a one-digit number using place value
- Multiply two two-digit numbers with an area model
- Write the partial products as an equation that matches the model
- Use an estimate to check whether a product is reasonable
Misconceptions worth a question
- Multiplying only the ones and tens digits and forgetting the cross products (36 x 52 is not 30 x 50 + 6 x 2)
- Treating the tens digit as a ones digit, so 20 x 4 becomes 8
- Lining up partial products by digit instead of adding their real values
Teacher tip: Grade 4 stops at a four-digit by one-digit and a two-digit by two-digit product, so tell the AI those limits and ask for an area-model sketch and a partial-products equation in every answer-key step.
Always check the AI's answer key before you give the quiz to students.
