The student is expected to

use mathematical calculation to compare patterns and relationships; and

A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”

SCIENCE.3.2.C — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to
use mathematical calculations to compare
patterns
relationships

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the science TEKS and math, English language arts and reading, social studies, and technology applications. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.

Math

Math.3.1.B describe the mathematical relationships found in the base-10 place value system through the hundred thousands place

Math.3.1.D compare and order whole numbers up to 100,000 and represent comparisons using the symbols >, <, or =

Math.3.1.F analyze mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas

Math.3.3.G explain that two fractions are equivalent if and only if they are both represented by the same point on the number line or represent the same portion of a same size whole for an area model

Math.3.3.H compare two fractions having the same numerator or denominator in problems by reasoning about their sizes and justifying the conclusion using symbols, words, objects, and pictorial models

Math.3.4.A solve with fluency one-step and two-step problems involving addition and subtraction within 1,000 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction

Math.3.5.E represent real-world relationships using number pairs in a table and verbal descriptions

Math.3.9.B describe the relationship between the availability or scarcity of resources and how that impacts cost

Technology Applications
