kwizNET's New York State Grade 3 Mathematics Assessment program is based solely on the New York Learning Standands. It offers specific instructions in the form of descriptions, lesson plans, examples and worksheet question to help students prepare for New York State Assessements.
Each topic is directly aligned to one of the New York State Learning Standards. Students master topics aligned to the New York State Learning Standards and tested on the NYS 3-8 Assessments.
