About this resource

This quiz focuses on morpheme analysis, a fundamental component of morphology within the study of English language structure. The questions assess students' ability to break down words into their smallest meaningful units, requiring knowledge of roots, prefixes, suffixes, and inflectional endings. This material aligns with high school level English language arts, specifically grades 9-12, where students develop sophisticated understanding of word formation patterns. To successfully complete this assessment, students must distinguish between free morphemes (standalone meaningful units like "book" or "run") and bound morphemes (prefixes like "un-" or suffixes like "-ing"), while also recognizing that some letter combinations may look like morphemes but lack independent meaning. The cognitive demand involves systematic decomposition of complex words and application of morphological rules rather than simple memorization. Created by Derek Nguyen, an English teacher in Vietnam who teaches grade 13. This morpheme counting game provides targeted practice in structural analysis skills that strengthen both vocabulary development and reading comprehension. The quiz format works effectively as a warmup activity to activate prior knowledge before lessons on word formation, as independent practice following direct instruction on morphological patterns, or as a formative assessment tool to gauge student mastery of morpheme identification. Teachers can use this type of exercise to prepare students for more advanced work with etymology, academic vocabulary, and complex text analysis. The assessment directly supports standards such as L.9-10.4b and L.11-12.4b, which require students to identify and correctly use patterns of word changes that indicate different meanings or parts of speech, as well as CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.9-10.6, which emphasizes acquiring and using academic vocabulary through morphological analysis.
