Grade 3 Science: Local alternative assessments, including performance assessments, are to be administered in place of the eliminated Standards of Learning test.  Appropriate testing conditions for the administration of local alternative assessments in Grade 3 Science are determined by the local school division.  

Grade 3 Science: Local alternative assessments, including performance assessments, are to be administered in place of the eliminated Standards of Learning test.   This rubric serves as a sample rubric to be shared with students.

 The purpose of this lesson is to help students develop their understanding of algebra using the patterns of multiplcation that occur on a hundreds board.  This is an effective strategy that will help students develop an understanding of multiples which is very crucial in 4th grade and above.  It also reinforces mutiplication as repeated addition.  This is also an effective strategy to use with English Language Learners, Special Educational Students and struggling learners because it provides a hands-on, interactive format for the whole class to see and participate.This lesson is also very engaging and it promotes most of the 5 C's: critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, communication, and citizenship.Use the following sites to look at 2 products that I have used from EAI and Didax.https://www.eaieducation.com/Product/504038/Make_a_Splash%e2%84%a2_120_Mat_Floor_Game.aspx (see image)https://www.didax.com/hip-hoppin-hundreds-mat.html 

Dan Meyer has created many mathematics lessons centered around storytelling, along with a methodology for using these with students. Before you do any of his lessons, please see the explanation at his blog: https://blog.mrmeyer.com/2011/the-three-acts-of-a-mathematical-story/ To see all the lessons in a Google Docs spreadsheet, go to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jXSt_CoDzyDFeJimZxnhgwOVsWkTQEsfqouLWNN

The lessons are all CC BY, and you may edit these to fit your own students’ needs. The links from #GoOpenVA go to his own website because the structure of the lessons (including pertinent videos) is integral to the delivery of the lessons. Some lessons are stored as downloadable zip files, and these are noted as part of the link.

After completing a rough draft of a teacher-directed writing assignment, students will work together as de-bugging buddies to engage in the peer editing process using a rubric to document the mistakes that their peer has made. Students will fill out the rubric with the appropriate scale for the writing they are editing.

To actively engage students in recognizing common errors in writing such as capitalization, punctuation, sentence structure, and spelling.

The Grant-Kohrs Ranch commemorates America's frontier cattle era. The ranch, located north of Yellowstone in Deer Lodge, Montana, is among the best surviving examples of an economic strategy based on the western cattle industry of the 1850s-1970s. A German immigrant, Conrad Kohrs, purchased the ranch in 1866 and began by supplying to mining camp butcher shops.

Students will be given a colored grid and they will give directions for a partner to design the same grid.

A course in Graphic Arts Technology provides students with an understanding of the processes and systems common to careers in publishing, printing, and other forms of media distribution. Representative topics include graphic design concepts; art and copy preparation; image generation and editing; desktop publishing; on-demand publishing; school yearbook and magazine layout; advertising and promotion; printing technology; binding and finishing; and screen printing.Students will be committed to lifelong learning as they grow individually, participate in groups, think analytically, create artistic products, and contribute to production of a major project. Students will learn illustration design software such as Adobe Illustrator, photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, and page layout software such as Adobe InDesign to create projects that will be printed in traditional and digital formats.

Students will organize various stem items, make observations regarding those items such as their color, size, etc and then graph their observations.

Students will construct and analyze data from a Skittle bag in bar graphs.

This assessment should be used to determine the students’ ability to read and interpret data using pictographs and bar graphs. It should be utilized at the end of the graphing unit.

Learn about exponential functions by graphing various equations representing exponential growth and decay. Graph these functions by connecting ordered pairs on x-y axes.

Students will go around the school (assign a few kids to one class, then data will come from many rooms) and record data on the various options kids have to play on at recess. Using the data collected they will create a graph from the tally chart they surveyed with. As a class they will compare their graphs and then discuss what they predict kids will play on for that afternoon using the data. **The teacher will need to ask for assistance from various other classroom teachers to interview or survey their students.

Analyzing data displayed in graphsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

In this lesson, the students will learn what a graph is and why we use graphs. We will look at an example of an object and picture graph, discuss the parts of a graph, and then create a class graph. By the end of the lesson, students will work to create their own graph.

This is an exploratory activity.  Students should have some prior knowledge of evaluating functions for given domain inputs using function notation.This lesson will walk students through using a table and plotting points.  By the end of the lesson students should walk away understanding that a line is infinitely many points.
