Introduction
What are the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics?
The standards are a shared set of expectations for each grade level in the area of math. They def ine
what students should understand and be able to do. The standards are designed to be more rigorous
and allow for students to justify their thinking. They ref lect the knowledge that is necessary for success in
college and beyond.
The following are Standards for Mathematical Practice as outlined in the Common Core State Standards.
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.*

How to Use This Book

The book is a collection of practice pages aligned to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
as appropriate for third grade. Included is an alignment matrix so that you can see exactly which
standard is addressed on each page. Also included are a skill assessment and skill assessment analysis.
The assessment can be used at the beginning of the year or at any time of year you wish to assess your
students mastery of certain standards. The analysis connects each test item to a practice page or set of
practice pages so that you can review skills with students who miss certain items.
