3rd grade TEKS math worksheets
40 of 46 3rd grade student expectations with a printable sheet · Ages 8–9
The wording beside each code is our own short summary of what the student expectation asks for, not its official text. For that, see Texas Administrative Code Chapter 111.
Number and operations
- 3.2A
Compose and decompose numbers up to 100,000 in expanded notation.

Place a number between consecutive multiples on a line and round it.
- 3.2D
Compare and order whole numbers up to 100,000 using >, < and =.
Partial Compares two numbers, up to 999. Does not reach 100,000 or order a list.
- 3.3A
Represent fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8.
- 3.3B
Name the fraction at a given point on a number line.

Solve one-step and two-step add and subtract problems within 1,000.
- 3.4B
Round to the nearest 10 or 100 to estimate a sum or difference.
Partial Rounds numbers to a place; the expectation also asks the child to use the rounded value to estimate a sum or difference.
- 3.4C
Determine the value of a collection of coins and bills.
- 3.4D
Find the total for equal groups or arrays up to 10 by 10.
- 3.4E
Represent multiplication facts with repeated addition, arrays and jumps.
Partial Drills the facts. Does not build them from arrays or number-line jumps.
- 3.4F
Recall the facts to multiply up to 10 by 10 and the division facts.
- 3.4G
Multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number.
- 3.4H
Find how many are in each group when a set is shared equally.
- 3.4I
Determine whether a number is even or odd using divisibility rules.
- 3.4J
Find a quotient using the relationship between multiplication and division.
Partial Finds a missing factor using division; does not ask for a quotient from a multiplication fact.
- 3.4K
Solve one-step and two-step multiply and divide problems within 100.
Algebraic reasoning
- 3.5A
Represent one- and two-step add and subtract problems with equations.
- 3.5B
Represent multiply and divide problems with arrays and equations.
- 3.5C
Describe a multiplication expression as a comparison.
- 3.5D
Determine the unknown in a multiplication or division equation.
- 3.5E
Represent real-world relationships as number pairs in a table.
Partial Generates two patterns and plots the pairs. Does not start from a verbal description.
Geometry and measurement
- 3.6A
Classify and sort two- and three-dimensional figures by attributes.
- 3.6B
Recognize rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids and rectangles as quadrilaterals.
- 3.6C
Determine the area of a rectangle using multiplication.
- 3.6D
Decompose a composite figure into rectangles to find its area.
- 3.6E
Decompose congruent figures into equal-area parts named as unit fractions.
- 3.7A
Represent halves, fourths and eighths as distances from zero on a line.
- 3.7B
Determine the perimeter of a polygon or a missing side length.
- 3.7C
Add and subtract time intervals in minutes.
- 3.7D
Decide when to measure liquid volume and when to measure weight.
Partial Reads a scale and a beaker. Does not ask which of the two an object needs.
- 3.7E
Determine liquid volume or weight using appropriate units and tools.
Partial Reads liquid volume from a marked beaker and weight from a dial scale; it does not ask which tool fits.
Data analysis
Not a worksheet
These expectations have no sheet, for two different reasons. Listing them is the point — a catalog that showed only the hits would say this grade is fuller than it is.
Personal financial literacy (6) — a TEKS strand with no Common Core equivalent, and one Math Picnic has never built for. This is a gap, not a mismatch.
- 3.9AExplain the connection between human capital, labor and income.
- 3.9BDescribe how scarcity of resources affects cost.
- 3.9CIdentify the costs and benefits of planned and unplanned spending.
- 3.9DExplain what credit is and the borrower's responsibility to repay it.
- 3.9EList reasons to save and explain the benefit of a savings plan.
- 3.9FIdentify decisions involving income, spending, saving and credit.
