Prior Standards Implementation

The standards listed below have been replaced by a newer set of standards.

Please go to Current 3rd Grade Math Standards for current resources.

Geometry
Name two-dimensional geometric figures (e.g., rectangle, square, triangle, circle, cube, cylinder, sphere, and cone). 3.3.1 G	Anglemania - describe triangles using appropriate geometric vocabulary Identify Polygons - names of polygons by number of sides and angles Name that Polygon - identify name of given polygon components Polygons and Non-Polygons - drag polygons into one bin and anything that is not a polygon into another bin Shape, Space and Measure - activities, quizzes and more Triangle Identification - what type of triangle is it given its angles Triangle Identification - what type of triangle is it given its number of sides
Name three-dimensional geometric figures (e.g., rectangle, square, triangle, circle, cube, cylinder, sphere, and cone). 3.3.2 G	Patterns for Solid Figures - Complete to make a cube figure Quad Squad - describe various quadrilaterals Solid Pattern Pieces - name the different faces of solid figures to make objects using a pattern Triangle Properties - Sort the triangles according to their properties.
Recognize geometric figures that are the same size and shape. 3.3.3 G
Use appropriate mathematical language to find a point on a grid using whole number coordinates. 3.3.4 AT	Graphing Skills - What's the point? find the point on the grid Reading Grids - find Hurkle in an intersection of a grid
Identify the result of a transformation that has been applied to a simple two-dimensional geometric shape (i.e., flips or slides). 3.3.5 G	Flip, Slide, or Turn - six flash movies allow you to watch the path an object takes while it is being transformed Flips, Slides, and Turns - a manipulative which allows you to view the effect of applying reflection, translation, and rotation transformations Mathematical Movements (Flips, Slides and Turns) - [ designed for 3rd grade ] a 25 page lesson with printables Measuring Turns - what would shapes look like if rotated Slides, Flips and Turns - lesson plan designed for 3rd grade Transformations - a Flash movie which demonstrates flips, slides, and turns Wrapping Paper Patterns - decide which figures would result from a flip, a slide, or a turn
Identify the line of symmetry in a two-dimensional design or shape. 3.3.6 G	Ask Hannah - describe symmetry in two-dimensional shapes Lines of Symmetry - drag the shapes that have lines of symmetry into one bin and those that do not into the other bin Lines of Symmetry - this video lesson explains horizontal, vertical and diagonal line symmetry, and then gives your students the chance to show understanding on several quizzes. Symmetry Activity - practice making patterns that have symmetry

Released Tests & Others	Solve It! - Math Videos provide problem solving practice for students in grades 3 to 6. Each of the thirteen sets contain five multi step word problems with step by step video solutions. Concepts include basic operations, algebraic reasoning, money, fractions, percent, perimeter, area, proportional reasoning, and measurement. Third Grade Math - Read each question and choose the best answer. Then mark the circle next to the letter for the answer you have chosen. ( from Texas ) Texas end-of-year Math test 2004
