3rd Grade: TEKS 3.6C and 3.6D 12 task cards are included: 6 cards focus on TEKS 3.6C - determining the area of rectangles with whole number side lengths in problems using multiplication related to the number of rows times the number of unit squares in each row. 6 cards focus on TEKS 3.6D - decomposing composite figures formed by rectangles into non-overlapping rectangles to determine the area of the original figure using the additive property of area. Student response sheet is included. An

Each task card presents students with a list of attributes for either a 2-dimensional shape or a 3-dimensional shape. Based on the listed attributes, the students are challenged to create the shape and give the geometric name. All attributes use formal geometric language. Shape cards have also been included in case of differentiated learning and for students to match with the attribute challenge cards. 2-Dimensional Shapes Included: rectangle rhombus triangle circle square hexagon 3-Dimen

Matching word problems to number sentences and strip diagrams. 3 Addition Problems 2 Subtraction Problems TEKS 1.3B, 1.3D, 1.3E, 1.5D, 1.5F Cut the cards apart and have students work in cooperative groups to read the word problem and match the word problem to the two appropriate number sentences (varied placement of the unknowns) and the appropriate strip diagram. Students can then solve for the unknown value.

TEKS 3.7D Focused on the appropriate units of weight - both metric and customary. Metric set contains 10 cards with a picture and a choice between two measurements. Students determine which measurement is appropriate for the pictured item and record their answer on the student document. Customary set contains 10 cards with a picture and a choice between two measurements. Students determine which measurement is appropriate for the pictured item and record their answer on the student documen

Subitizing Bingo Game Numbers 1-20 included TEKS K.2D and 1.2A - recognize instantly the quantity of structured arrangements 10 different BINGO cards included (each card is different) Calling cards included Can print two to a page (numbers 1-20 included on the two cards, for example page 1 and 2 have all numbers 1-20, page 3 and 4 have all numbers 1-20, etc.) Subitizing Arrangements: dominos dice ten frames double ten frames dot plates dot arrangements tally marks

This resource can be used whole group or in math centers to focus on the different representations of numbers. Numbers 1-125 are included as well as a few extra cards if desired. Representations included: Standard form Word form Place value form Base 10 blocks Expanded Form Tallies Each set of these cards can be run on different colors of card stock, laminated, and cut apart to fit into a blue 100's chart pocket chart. Students can then work independently or in cooperative groups to place

3rd Grade STAAR Review based on the Texas TEKS 26 Questions Answer Key Included - 10 Readiness Standard Questions - 16 Supporting Standard Questions - 3 Griddable Questions TEKS Covered in this Review: 3.2A 3.2B 3.2C 3.2D 3.4A 3.4B 3.4C 3.4D 3.4F 3.4G 3.4H 3.4I 3.4J 3.4K 3.5A 3.5B 3.5C 3.5D 3.5E 3.6C 3.6D 3.7B 3.7C 3.7D 3.7E Students can answer questions independently, in partner pairs, or with a small group. Have them record answers or use a program like ZipGrade to get immediate feedb

Building Stamina and Focus in Math: After 10 questions, have students consistently choose a Brain Break that can be done independently and without interrupting other students. Each Brain Break poster includes a visual to remind students of the Brain Break as well as a short description of the break. These can be taught and used during classroom instruction so that students can use them independently on standardized tests or classroom assessments. These refocus the brain and allow the brain

Review 2-dimensional shapes with students by playing "Scoot." This file contains 25 task cards, directional arrows, and a student recording document. 2-D Shape Review Shapes Included: circle triangle rectangle square rhombus hexagon Activities: Draw the 2-D shape What is the name of the 2-D shape? Describe the shape's attributes.

Two word problems are included. One on each page. Students are responsible for reading the question using testing strategies, showing all pertinent work, answering using a 3rd grade standardized test griddable, and writing a explanation to justify their answer. TEKS 3.4A - solve with fluency one-step and two-step problems involving addition and subtraction within 1,000 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

TEKS 3.2A Small group teaching activity that includes chart for teaching word form, standard form, expanded form, and expanded notation. Additionally, four STAAR like questions focused on TEKS 3.2A are included on the next page for students to apply their knowledge and understanding to a test-like question. Great for a Teacher Table math center activity!

Science TEKS 4.8A 10 multiple choice and true/false questions focusing on measuring, recording, and predicting changes in weather. Answer key included

Science TEKS 4.8B 10 multiple choice questions describing and illustrating the continuous movement of water above and on the surface of Earth through the water cycle and explaining the role of the Sun as a major source of energy in this process. Answer key included

Individual Documentation Sheet that matches the information needed for RTI in Edugence. Documentation Space for: Broad Content Goal Starting Level of Performance Specific Skill Goal Start Date/Review Date Intervention Strategies to be Used Accommodations Frequency Duration Grouping Monitoring Tools Outcome Results As well as space to document specific dates, interventions, progress monitoring data, and extra notes. This file is a Word Document File that can be modified if needed.

Use the Bulls-Eye strategy to help students understand how to eliminate answer choices on multiple choice tests and standardized tests. These targets print 2 per page. Laminate or place in page protectors and use dry-erase markers to place your answer choices in the appropriate colored section. I prefer to use small sticky squares to show the placements of answers and remove them for the next question.
