Use a problem‑solving model to analyze information, plan, determine, and justify solutions; evaluate reasonableness.
For Grade 3, this standard focuses on Problem-solving model and prepares learners for increasingly complex tasks.
TEKS 3.1B bridges prior learning and next steps in Mathematics, keeping Problem-solving model coherent across the year.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 3.1B.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Problem-solving model, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 3.1B.
Standard 3.1B describes the essential skills and understandings for Problem-solving model in Grade 3. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
