Compare and describe day‑to‑day weather in different locations at the same time, including temperature, wind direction, and precipitation.
The intent of 3.10A is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Weather comparisons.
Aligned tasks under 3.10A balance fluency and reasoning so students can explain decisions about Weather comparisons.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 3.10A.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 3.10A.
Standard 3.10A describes the essential skills and understandings for Weather comparisons in Grade 3. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Weather comparisons, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
