Mathematics, Grade 3. TEAMS Instructional Strategies Guide.
Texas Education Agency, Austin.
The Texas Educational Assessment of Minimum Skills (TEAMS) was developed by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), in response to Texas House Bill 72 (1984), which mandated a new basic skills assessment program for mathematics, reading, and writing at grades 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11. This document is one in a series of Instructional Strategies Guides designed to familiarize Texas educators with the types of strategies employed in assessing learner mastery of TEAMS objectives and to provide suggested instructional activities that can be used to promote mastery of those objectives. This guide focuses on the TEAMS mathematics objectives for grade 3. It provides a detailed description of the test items used to measure each mathematics objective. The 11 objectives are subsumed under five skill areas: (1) number concepts (number sequence, place value, number patterns, expanded notation, fractional parts); (2) computation (addition, subtraction); (3) problem solving (addition word problems, subtraction word problems); (4) measurement (units of measure); and (5) geometry (geometric shapes). The following information is provided for each objective: (1) a description of the objective; (2) a sample item; (3) test questions; (4) answer choices; (5) answer analysis for sample item; (6) instructional emphases; and (7) possible instructional activities.
