| Grade 3
The ITBS Form A for mathematics measures the skills and achievement of students in third grade.
In this course students explore the world of numbers, algorithms, patterns, shapes, data, and spatial sense. Students engage in activities which require them to make sense of real-world data (collecting, discussing, and making conclusions about data), to conceptualize the symbolic value of numbers in various forms (including fractions and decimals), to perform operations with numbers, to justify solutions by articulating the reasons behind the solutions, and to use manipulatives as representative objects. The course emphasizes the need for students to make mathematical connections and to use mathematics principles to communicate, reason, and solve problems.
