This post explains and gives practice opportunities related to TEKS 3.3A:
represent fractions greater than zero and less than or equal to one with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using concrete objects and pictorial models, including strip diagrams and number lines
Instruction
Fractions play a key part in 3rd grade mathematics. In this standard, fractions are proper (less than or equal to one) and use specific denominators - 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.
One of the most difficult representations of fractions to master for 3rd graders is the use of number lines. Watch the video below to learn more.
Oral Language Development
Students process information through talking and conversing, not simply listening or watching a teacher demonstration. Here are so talk structures aligned with 3.3A to help you students unmute in the classroom.
STAAR Practice
Between 2016 and 2024, this supporting standard has been tested once on the STAAR test. A video explaining the problem can be found below. If you'd rather take a quiz over this question, click here. The video below is linked to the question in the quiz as an answer explanation after the quiz is submitted.
