Engaging and fun TEKS standards aligned, multi-step word problem task cards are a great resource for third grade students to practice and review math concepts or prep for the year-end STAAR test. This resource comes in two formats, digital PowerPoint task cards and printable task cards, making it easy for teachers to use as a year-end review, practice, math workstation, whole class, small group, or test-prep! Word problems are written specifically for third grade math with fun clip-art and are aligned with the TEKS, making them an excellent tool for test preparation.

Not just for Texas teachers!

Not just for Texas teachers! A Common Core alignment is included. Did you know the TEKS standards align very closely with the Common Core Standards? In order to create their own standards states had to prove their standards met or exceeded the Common Core Standards. Most TEKS standards align closely with CCSS standards with the exception of an additional strand of standards called the Personal Financial Literacy Standards. There are only 4-6 Financial Literacy Standards at each grade level that teachers outside of Texas can exclude.

• 3.3(D) Compose and decompose a fraction a/b with a numerator greater than zero and less than or equal to b as a sum of parts 1/b. 
• 3.3(E) Solve problems involving partitioning an object or a set of objects among two or more recipients using pictorial representations of fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.
