There is no better way to prepare third grade students for next generation tests than to take practice tests! These practice sets are the perfect preparation tool for Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR), and other state testing. The higher-level questions, multi-step mathematics problems, and higher-order thinking skills on these tests will help get students ready for the performance-based assessments they will be facing. They will give students the experience to complete the real state tests with confidence and the skills and ability to achieve maximum results. Teachers will be able to identify gaps in knowledge and target instruction accordingly.

About Shell Education
Rachelle Cracchiolo started the company with a friend and fellow teacher. Both were eager to share their ideas and passion for education with other classroom leaders. What began as a hobby, selling lesson plans to local stores, became a part-time job after a full day of teaching, and eventually blossomed into Teacher Created Materials. The story continued in 2004 with the launch of Shell Education and the introduction of professional resources and classroom application books designed to support Teacher Created Materials curriculum resources. Today, Teacher Created Materials and Shell Education are two of the most recognized names in educational publishing around the world.
