Create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate ideas.
TEKS 3.1E provides a clear foundation for continued study of Use representations in future grades.
TEKS 3.1E bridges prior learning and next steps in Mathematics, keeping Use representations coherent across the year.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 3.1E.
Standard 3.1E describes the essential skills and understandings for Use representations in Grade 3. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 3.1E.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 3.1E.
