Solve word problems with objects and drawings to find sums up to 10 and differences within 10.
With K.3B, Grade K students practice Word problems within 10 in multiple representations and contexts.
The intent of K.3B is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Word problems within 10.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to K.3B.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Word problems within 10, 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 K.3B.
Standard K.3B describes the essential skills and understandings for Word problems within 10 in Grade K. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
