Decomposing Rectangles to Find Area: Page 1) Cut apart six 3x4 rectangles to cover figures to show how area can be determined by actually (or mentally) breaking apart figures; Page 2) Area is the same in equally sized and divided rectangles if same portion is chosen. Page 3) Determine and choose numerical expressions of area of figures marked with measurement of sides (not square units) using multiplication and addition. Page 4) Determine numerical expressions of area of composite rectangles an

Real World Relationship Tables – 20 Word Problems   20 (STAAR 3.5.E) Word Problems using number pairs and tables to represent real world relationships. These are word problems connecting to function tables that use the relationship between multiplication and division. These 20 (newly revised and written) problems have students draw models and relate multiplication and division concretely in order to solve.   (3.5) Algebraic reasoning. The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze

Free Bubble Answer Sheets for STAAR Practice Test A and B. A buyer had requested bubble sheets for Test A and Test B. This is the first time I have created these and they might need revisions. My intentions are to revise and upgrade Test A and Test B with new graphics and Common Core standards. This would best be done in the summer, when I have time to do it very well. If these work for you, they are free. If not, let me know and I'll make revisions. They will be added to the Tests soon. Thank

STAAR Math 3rd Grade Practice B is a 47-question test aligned to the new 2012 TEKS standards. The real STAAR math test only covers about half of the Supporting Standards. In order to cover ALL Supporting Standards, it was necessary to have 2 tests, Test A and Test B. Together they cover all the Standards. In order to follow the STAAR Grade 3 Math Blueprint, the following criteria have been met: Readiness Standards 28 questions Supporting Standards 20 questions (One question covers both a Rea

Students who struggle with rounding often have trouble with the abstract nature of using place value to determine rounding solutions. Number lines offer a more concrete approach that makes more sense to some students. Being able to fluently round to tens and hundreds is a basic skill. Students should plot where each number is located and then circle the ten or hundred to which it is closest. On the first page, 2 examples are given for rounding to tens and hundreds, 10 problems are provided w

FREEBIE! These 7 bar graphs have been especially designed to address a type of questioning used on the Texas STAAR tests where students are required to find the “missing bar” by reading and adding the existing bars together and subtracting that sum from the total. There are several of these on released versions of the STAAR 2013 and 2014. Copyright © 2014 Joyce Talbott All rights reserved by author. Permission to copy for single classroom use only.

FREE! Are you building a Practice Test for the STAAR Grade 3 Math and would like for it to follow the Blueprint with correct amounts of Readiness and Supporting Standards along with alignment of Categories? This might be helpful to you. Many benchmark tests cover the concepts you are teaching, but they don't have an alignment in the number of types of questions that are presented on the real STAAR test. This chart can help you design your tests with the same rigor found on the STAAR. ...OR yo
