Several parents have asked how students should set up the sample 3rd grade STAAR problem that was shared in a previous post. Below is a video clip that was part of the training received by teachers during their inservice training day. This shows the standard tested and the process that is assess in this type of problem. This is only one way to test this standard. There are numerous ways to test each standard. That’s why your student will bring home assignments that require them to use different methods of problem-solving, and that is why teachers will ask for the same information in numerous formats. The state will do the same thing.
