One purchase quantity comes with permission to make copies for ONE TEACHER FOR A SINGLE CLASS.
For entire grade level, campus, or district purchases, please add one quantity for each teacher you would like to have access to this test. Using it for more than one classroom or sharing it with other teachers who have not paid for it would be illegal and a breach of this purchase agreement.
REMINDER: 3RD GRADE READINESS PROBLEMS ON THIS PRACTICE TEST WOULD BE APPPROPRIATE FOR 4TH GRADERS BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE SUPPORTING STANDARDS FOR STUDENTS IN THAT GRADE.
The thought process behind having all of the questions in both multiple choice and new question type constructed responses is that starting next year, a maximum of 75% of the questions will remain multiple choice. This gives you as a teacher of the flexibility to pick and choose which questions you want to leave multiple choice and which ones you want to try to get your students to answer using the new question type formats.
As you can see in the question by question percentage is correct on the cover page, students came into 4th grade really struggling on most of these TEKS, so it is absolutely critical that you give them extra practice before they begin the rigors of the year. To help you as 4th grade teachers to decide which questions would be more appropriate for your students, focus on the questions that say readiness. Those were skills that the students were supposed to have mastered by the end of third grade moving into fourth.
Each question has the question number it is modeled from, the reporting category, whether it's a readiness or supporting standard and even the student expectation.
At the beginning of each test, I have written some suggestions and strategies to help those of you who might need a different pressure approach to teaching difficult math problems.
