Concept Taxonomy — Grade 3

Given the 57-concept graph for this band, 7 categories are used — the same scheme as Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 — seeded from the five content strands in the course description plus the cross-cutting Skill Standards group, with a small Foundations category for the bridging/root concept. Category names and abbreviations are kept identical to the earlier bands' schemes, so the taxonomy is comparable across bands.
