3rd grade Math Performance Task Model/ Practice- Fundraiser.

Make test prep meaningful, rigorous, and engaging with this 3rd Grade Math Performance Task—designed by a current classroom teacher who understands exactly what students (and teachers) need.

This resource was thoughtfully created to mirror the structure and expectations of state assessments, giving students valuable exposure to the types of multi-step problems, critical thinking, and written explanations they’ll encounter on test day. It serves as both a practice tool and a clear model of what proficiency looks like under current academic standards. It also includes sample answers using the same format and rubric used by state assessment platforms.

Aligned with Common Core State Standards and reflective of the latest math frameworks, this performance task challenges students to:

Apply mathematical concepts in real-world contexts

Explain their thinking using words, numbers, and models

Demonstrate depth of understanding—not just procedural skill

Perfect for:

✔️ Homeschool families looking for authentic assessment practice

✔️ Classroom teachers preparing students for state testing

✔️ Intervention or enrichment groups needing rigorous, standards-based tasks

Whether used as a practice assessment, guided lesson, or independent task, this resource helps build student confidence while giving you insight into their true level of understanding.

Give your students the opportunity to practice like it matters—because it does.
