Give your third grader the confidence to succeed on both Colorado CMAS tests (Mathematics and English Language Arts) in one book.
This Smart Stars combined edition brings together ten full-length, standards-aligned practice tests (five in Mathematics and five in English Language Arts) that mirror the length, item mix, and question types of the real CMAS assessments. Every question and passage was written by experienced educators, reviewed for accuracy, and built around the Colorado Academic Standards at Grade 3 (the standards CMAS is built on) so the topics and emphasis match what Colorado students actually see.
CMAS (the Colorado Measures of Academic Success) is the assessment the Colorado Department of Education gives to students statewide, delivered online through the Pearson TestNav platform. On the real test students click, drag, type, mark points on number lines, read clocks and graphs, select evidence from reading passages, and write a response to what they read; this book renders those same skills as clear, print-friendly items: with the same number lines, area and perimeter figures, clocks, bar and picture graphs, line plots, fraction and array models, and reading-passage sets: so the thinking is identical even though the answering is on paper.
