Elementary Instructional Math Block

Time Components Description

5-15 minutes

Number Talks

Short, daily fluency routine that engages students in meaningful conversations around purposefully crafted computation problems that are solved using number relationships and the structure of numbers. Students are asked to communicate their thinking when presenting and justifying solutions to problems they solve mentally while the teacher records their ideas with mathematical precision. These exchanges lead to the development of more accurate, efficient, and flexible strategies.

5 minutes

Opening: Hook/Coherence Connection

The teacher will engage students to create interest for the whole group lesson or review prerequisite standards to prepare students to make explicit connections that will allow students to apply and extend previous learning when interacting with the lesson’s grade-level content.

15 minutes

Whole Group: Mini Lesson/Guided Practice

Used prior to small group to introduce/practice new knowledge and skills or after small group to refine/practice strategies discovered by students.

The lesson focuses on the depth of grade-level cluster(s), grade-level content standard(s), or part(s) thereof, intentionally targeting the aspect(s) of rigor (conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, application) called for by the standard(s) being addressed.

During this time, the teacher makes the mathematics of the lesson explicit using clear and correct explanations, representations, tasks, and/or examples. The teacher provides opportunities for all students to work with and practice grade-level problems and exercises, deliberately checking for understanding throughout the lesson and adapting the lesson according to student understanding. The teacher poses high-quality questions and problems that prompt students to share their developing thinking about the content of the lesson. Class created anchor charts are constructed by strategically adding key concepts throughout the topic’s lessons.

30-40 minutes

Small Collaborative Groups/ Independent Practice

The teacher encourages reasoning and problem solving by posing challenging problems that offer opportunities for student choice of appropriate tools and promote productive struggle. Students work in small, flexible collaborative groups to engage in mathematical tasks while the teacher circulates and asks questions to elicit thinking, providing support or extensions as needed. The teacher asks students to explain and justify work, connecting and developing students’ informal language to precise mathematical language appropriate to their grade, and provides feedback that helps students revise initial work. The teacher makes observations to select and sequence appropriate strategies for students to share during the class discussion.

5 minutes

Closure: Summarize

The teacher strengthens all students’ understanding of the content by strategically sharing a variety of students’ representations and solution methods. The teacher facilitates the summary of the mathematics with references to student work and by creating the conditions for student conversations where students are encouraged to talk about each other’s thinking in order to reinforce the purpose of the lesson.

Formative techniques occur throughout the framework to drive instruction, guide collaborative grouping, and evaluate which students will need intervention/enrichment.

Unit 1 PACING: August 14 – October 2

Topic 1: Exploring equal groups as a foundation for multiplication and division Pacing: August 14 – 25

In Grade 2 students have added groups of objects by skip-­‐counting and using repeated addition (2.OA.3.4). In this topic students connect these concepts to

multiplication and division by interpreting and representing products and quotients. Students begin developing these concepts by working with numbers

with which they are more familiar, such as 2s, 5s, and 10s, in addition to numbers that are easily skip counted, such as 3s a nd 4s. Since multiplication is a

critical area for Grade 3, students will build on these concepts throughout the year, working towards fluency by the end of t he year.

Standards Academic Language

Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 x 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 x 7.

MAFS.3.OA.1.1 array column dividend divisor equal groups equation expression factors groups of inverse operation partition product quotient row shares symbol

Students will:

• interpret a situation requiring multiplication using objects, pictures, words, and expressions.

• describe a context that could be represented with multiplication.

E.g., Jim purchased 5 packages of muffins. Each package contained 3 muffins. 5 groups of 3. Describe another situation where there would be 5 groups of 3 or 5 x 3.

Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.

MAFS.3.OA.1.2

Students will:

• interpret a situation requiring division using objects, pictures, words, and expressions.

• describe a context that could be represented with division.

E.g., 50 ÷ 10; can be 50 items divided into 10 equal groups, or 50 items divided into equal groups of 10. Represent a context that could be described as the quotient of two whole numbers (e.g., 8 ÷ 2 is a way to show the equal sharing of 8 cookies between 2 boys).

Page 6: Third Grade MATHEMATICS - Volusia County Schools Maps and Guid… · Third Grade MATHEMATICS ... Grade 1 Math Curriculum Map Mathematics Department ... Teacher Guide, p. 3 /grade

5 Volusia County Schools Grade 3 Math Curriculum Map Mathematics Department July 2017

Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent a problem.

MAFS.3.OA.1.3

Students will:

• use the following situations to solve real-world and mathematical problems related to multiplication by numbers that are easily skip counted (e.g., 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s).

o equal groups: Stan has 4 bags of cookies with 5 cookies in each bag. How many cookies does he have? Hector has 12 wrenches. He puts 4 in each compartment in his tool box. How many compartments does it take to hold all of his wrenches?

o array model: Mrs. Smith arranges the desks in her classroom. She has 4 rows with 3 desks in each row. How many desks are in her classroom? A marching band has 28 members. The director puts the members into equal columns of 7. How many columns does it take to arrange all of the band members?

• represent multiplication and division word problems involving numbers that are easily skip counted (e.g., 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s). using objects, drawings, and equations using a symbol for the unknown number.

NOTE: See Common Multiplication and Division Situations Table on page 61.

Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 x 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

MAFS.3.OA.3.7

Students will: NOTE: By the end of Grade 3, students are to know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

Computational fluency is defined as accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility. Research indicates that teachers can best support students’ knowledge of sums and differences through varied experiences with mental strategies rather than using repetitive timed tests.

• multiply by numbers that are easily skip counted (e.g., 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s) choosing and using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division or properties of operations.

• divide by numbers that are easily skip counted (e.g., 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s), leading to one-digit quotients by choosing and using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division or properties of operations. NOTE: Students are NOT expected to identify the properties of operations by name.

Topic Comments:

In 3.OA.1.1 situations with discreet objects should be explored first when developing a conceptual understanding of multiplication, followed by measurement examples involving area models.

3.OA.1.3 will be readdressed in topic 7 in order to provide students the opportunity to develop computational strategies as they extend the range of numbers with which they compute. It will be finalized in topic 14 to include measurement quantities in order to provide students multiple opportunities to develop and practice these concepts.

3.OA.3.7 will be readdressed in topic 7 and topic 15 in order to provide students the opportunity to develop computational

strategies as they extend the range of numbers with which they compute. Fluency will also be developed through Number Talks

throughout the year and finalized in topic 15, allowing students time to work towards learning products of two 1-digit numbers

from memory.

Students use concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve problems (MP.1). They use arrays and other

representations to model multiplication and division (MP.4) and contextualize given expressions (MP.2).

Topic 2: Developing conceptual understanding of area Pacing: August 28 – September 14 This topic provides ample time, and should include multiple experiences, for students to explore the connections among counting tiles, skip counting the number of tiles in rows or columns, and multiplying the side lengths of a rectangle to determine area. Students’ understanding of these connections is critical content at this grade, and must occur early in the school year, thereby allowing time for understanding and fluency to develop across future topics.

Standards Academic Language

Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. E.g., If 6 x 4 = 24 is known, then 4 x 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative Property of multiplication). 3 x 5 x 2 can be found by 3 x 5 = 15, then 15 x 2 = 30, or by 5 x 2 = 10, then 3 x 10 – 30. (Associate Property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 x 5 = 40, and 8 x 2 = 16, one can find 8 x 7 as 8 x (5 + 2) = (8 x 5) + (8 x 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive Property).

MAFS.3.OA.2.5

attribute equation equivalent expression factor inverse operation product area column length plane figure product row square unit width

Students will:

• represent expressions using various objects, pictures, and words in order to develop understanding of the commutative property of multiplication.

• apply the commutative property as a strategy to multiply. o Commutative Property of multiplication: E.g., 3 × 2 is the same value as 2 × 3

NOTE: Students are NOT expected to identify the properties by name.

Recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and understand concepts of area measurement. a. A square with side length 1 unit, called “a unit square,” is said to have “one square unit” of area, and can be used to measure area. b. A plane figure which can be covered without gaps or overlaps by n unit squares is said to have an area of n square units.

MAFS.3.MD.3.5

Students will:

• define a unit square (i.e., a square with side lengths of 1 unit) and understand that it is used to measure the attribute of area.

NOTE: The side length of the square could be one customary unit (e.g., inch, foot), one metric unit (e.g., centimeter, meter) or one non-standard unit. Exponential notation for unit abbreviations (e.g., cm2 ) is not introduced until Grade 5.

• describe area as the measure of space within a plane figure.

Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm, square m, square in, square ft, and improvised units). MAFS.3.MD.3.6

Students will:

• measure the area of a shape by covering it with unit squares – with no gaps or overlaps – and counting the number of unit squares used.

• use an array model to determine the area of a rectangle by counting the unit squares.

• use appropriate labels to represent answers to area problems (e.g., 4 square meters).

Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition. a. Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it, and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths.

MAFS.3.MD.3.7

Students will:

• use square tiles to find the area of rectangles with whole number side lengths.

• discover the relationship between tiling and multiplying side lengths to find the area of rectangles.

• explain the relationship between tiling and multiplying side lengths to find the area of rectangles. NOTE: Students need to discover that the length of one dimension of a rectangle tells how many unit squares are in each row

and the length of the other dimension of the rectangle tells how many unit squares are in each column. Students will not use the formula a = l × w until Grade 4.

• use appropriate labels to represent answers to area problems (e.g., 4 square meters).

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively 6. Attend to precision 7. Look for and make use of structure

MAFS.K12.MP.2.1 MAFS.K12.MP.6.1 MAFS.K12.MP.7.1

Topic Comments: 3.OA.2.5 will be readdressed in topic 9 with a focus on the distributive property and in topic 12 with a focus on the associative property. 3.MD.3.7 will be readdressed in topic 9 to extend the understanding of using area models to represent the distributive property and recognize that area is additive and in topic 12 to solve real world and mathematical problems involving area. Students analyze the structure of multiplication (MP.7) through their work with arrays (MP.2) and work towards precisely expressing their understanding of the connection between area and multiplication (MP.6).

Topic 3: Developing strategies for addition and subtraction Pacing: September 15 – October 2 In Grade 2 students used addition and subtraction within 1000 using concrete objects and strategies. In this topic students increase the sophistication of computation strategies for addition and subtraction that will be finalized by the end of the year. This topic introduces the concept of rounding, which provides students with another strategy to judge the reasonableness of their answers in addition and subtraction situations. Perimeter provides a context in which students can practice both rounding and addition and subtraction (e.g. estimating the perimeter of a polygon).

Standards Academic Language

Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100. MAFS.3.NBT.1.1 compose decompose decrease difference distance estimate increase inverse length perimeter reasonable rounding sum

Students will:

• round whole numbers to the nearest 10 through the use of a number line, hundred chart, place value chart, etc.

• round whole numbers to the nearest 100 through the use of a number line, hundred chart, place value chart, etc.

• determine possible starting numbers when given a rounded number

• understand that the purpose of rounding is to make mental math easier and to check the reasonableness of an answer.

Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

MAFS.3.NBT.1.2

Students will:

• add and subtract within 1000, using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

NOTE: The Standards distinguish strategies from algorithms. From the Standards glossary:

Computation strategy- Purposeful manipulations that may be chosen for specific problems, may not have a fixed order, and may be aimed at converting one problem into another. Computation algorithm- A set of predefined steps applicable to a class of problems that gives the correct result in every case when the steps are carried out correctly. Work with computation begins with use of strategies and “efficient, accurate, and generalizable methods.” For addition and subtraction, the culmination of this work is signaled in the Grade 4 Standards by use of the term “standard algorithm.”

Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.

MAFS.3.MD.4.8

Students will:

• explore the concept of perimeter as a measure of distance, using a variety of tools (e.g., geoboards, rubber bands, color tiles, graph paper, string, etc.).

• find the perimeter of a polygon (regular and irregular) that is located on a grid by counting the units.

• find the perimeter of a polygon when given the lengths of all sides.

• identify and use properties of polygons to find the unknown side length(s) of a polygon given the perimeter without using a grid.

• solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeter.

6. Attend to precision. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

MAFS.K12.MP.6.1 MAFS.K12.MP.8.1

Topic Comments: 3.NBT.1.1 introduces the concept of rounding, which is new to students and will be revisited in topic 8 in the context of multiplication. 3.NBT.1.2 will be revisited in topic 15 and finalized in topic 18 in order to give students time to reach fluency in addition and subtraction within 1000 by the end of the year. 3.MD.4.8 is the first time perimeter appears in MAFS. Students are not expected to use formulas until Grade 4 (4.MD.1.3). 3.MD.4.8 will be addressed in full in topic 13 after students have been introduced to and worked with the concept of area. Students use precise language to make sense of their solution in the context of a problem and the magnitude of the numbers (MP.6). Students also generalize algorithms and strategies and look for shortcuts (MP.8).

Unit 2 PACING: October 3 - November 21

Topic 4: Understanding unit fractions Pacing: October 3 – 17 In previous grades students have had experience partitioning shapes into fair shares (1.G.1.3 and 2.G.1.3), using words to describe the quantity (one-half). In this topic students extend this understanding to partition shapes and number lines, representing these fair shares using fraction notation with a horizontal fraction bar

(e.g., 1

2). Similar to how students view 1 as the building block of whole numbers, students learn to view unit fractions as building blocks—understanding that every

fraction is a combination of unit fractions.

Standards Academic Language

Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole. For example,

partition a shape into 4 parts with equal area, and describe the area of each part as 1

4 of the area of the shape.

MAFS.3.G.1.2

area model denominator equal parts linear model (number line) numerator partition unit fraction whole

Students will:

• partition shapes into 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 parts with equal-sized areas.

NOTE: Shapes may include: quadrilateral, equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle, hexagon, octagon, and circle. (Students do not need to identify triangles as equilateral or isosceles).

• describe the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole.

E.g., This figure was partitioned/divided into four equal parts. Each part is 1

4 of the total area of the figure.

1

4 is the unit fraction of the

whole (e.g., 4

4).

a. Represent a fraction 1

𝑏 on a number line diagram by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and

partitioning it into b equal parts. Recognize that each part has size 1

𝑏 and that the endpoint of the part based at 0

locates the number 1

𝑏 on the number line.

MAFS.3.NF.1.2

Students will:

• partition the interval from 0 to 1 on a number line (i.e., linear model) into 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 equal-length segments.

• identify one of the equal parts as a unit fraction represented as 1

𝑏.

• recognize that a fraction’s location on a number line is based on its distance from zero.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics 6. Attend to precision

MAFS.K12.MP.3.1 MAFS.K12.MP.4.1 MAFS.K12.MP.6.1

Topic Comments:

The focus of 3.NF.1.1 and 3.NF.1.2 in this topic is on fractions between 0 and 1. 3.NF.1.2 will be revisited in Topic 5 and will extend students’ learning beyond the unit fraction . Fractions greater than 1 will also be introduced in topic 5.

Students use number lines to represent fractions in a new way (MP.4). It is key for students to have meaningful conversations around this concept to develop precise language about the components of fractions and location on the number line (MP.3, MP.6).

Topic 6: Solving addition and subtraction problems involving measurement Pacing: November 3 – November 21 The focus of this topic is to develop a conceptual understanding of measuring mass, liquid volume, intervals of time, and using measurement as a context for the development of fluency in addition and subtraction (See Common Addition and Subtraction Situations Table on page 60).

Standards Academic Language

Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.

MAFS.3.MD.1.1 a.m. analog digital duration half-hour half-past liquid volume mass p.m. time interval

Students will:

• tell and write time to the nearest minute using analog and digital clocks.

• measure duration (intervals) of time in minutes (e.g., basketball practice is 45 minutes long).

• record intervals of time in minutes (i.e. 75 minutes).

• use clock models and number lines to solve word problems using time intervals in minutes.

• solve one- and two-step word problems involving addition and subtraction of time durations (intervals) measured in minutes, using a number line. E.g., Tonya wakes up at 6:45 a.m. It takes her 5 minutes to shower, 15 minutes to get dressed, and 15 minutes to eat breakfast. What time will she be ready for school?

Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.

MAFS.3.MD.1.2

Students will:

• estimate masses of solid objects (grams and kilograms).

• measure masses of solid objects (grams and kilograms).

• estimate volumes of liquids (milliliters and liters).

• measure volumes of liquids (milliliters and liters).

• solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes using addition and subtraction.

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 4. Model with mathematics.

MAFS.K12.MP.1.1 MAFS.K12.MP.5.1 MAFS.K12.MP.4.1

Topic Comments:

3.MD.1.1 is included here as an opportunity to model addition and subtraction situations with time as the context. 3.MD.1.2 is addressed in full in topic 14 to include multiplication and division situations.

Students can apply the mathematics they know to persevere in solving problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace (MP.1, MP.4). Selecting and using appropriate tools supports the development of measurement concepts by asking students to reason about which tools are appropriate and how to use tools efficiently (MP.5).

Unit 3 PACING: November 27 – March 2

Topic 7: Understanding the relationship between multiplication and division Pacing: November 27 – December 12 The emphasis of this topic is for students to develop a solid understanding of the connection between multiplication and division. Students recognize that multiplication strategies can be used to make sense of and solve division problems. This topic provides students a solid foundation in solving problems with equal groups and arrays, which is necessary to support future success with measurement problems.

Standards Academic Language

Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.

MAFS.3.OA.1.2

array column dividend divisor equal groups equation expression factors groups of inverse operation partition product quotient row shares symbol unknown-factor

Students will:

• interpret a situation requiring division using objects, pictures, words, and expressions.

• describe a context that could be represented with division.

Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent a problem.

MAFS.3.OA.1.3

Students will:

• use the following situations to solve real-world and mathematical problems related to multiplication within 100. o equal groups: Stan has 4 bags of cookies with 5 cookies in each bag. How many cookies does he have?

Hector has 12 wrenches. He puts 4 in each compartment in his tool box. How many compartments does it take to hold all of his wrenches?

o array model: Mrs. Smith arranges the desks in her classroom. She has 4 rows with 3 desks in each row. How many desks are in her classroom? A marching band has 28 members. The director puts the members into equal columns of 7. How many columns does it take to arrange all of the band members?

• represent multiplication and division word problems involving numbers within 100 using objects, drawings, and equations using a symbol for the unknown number.

NOTE: See Common Multiplication and Division Situations Table on page 61.

Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8.

MAFS.3.OA.2.6

Students will:

• demonstrate the relationship between multiplication and division using a variety of strategies and tools as a foundation for understanding division as an unknown-factor problem.

• demonstrate and explain how a division equation can be rewritten as a related multiplication equation with an unknown factor.

• determine the unknown number in division problems using the relationship between multiplication and division.

Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 x 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

MAFS.3.OA.3.7

Students will: NOTE: By the end of Grade 3, students are to know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

Computational fluency is defined as accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility. Research indicates that teachers can best support students’ knowledge of sums and differences through varied experiences with mental strategies rather than using repetitive timed tests.

• multiply within 100 choosing and using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division or properties of operations.

• divide within 100 by choosing and using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division or properties of operations.

NOTE: Students are NOT expected to identify the properties of operations by name.

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 7. Look for and make use of structure.

MAFS.K12.MP.1.1 MAFS.K12.MP.7.1

Topic Comments: 3.OA.1.2 and 3.OA.3.7 are revisited in this topic to extend the range of numbers to include all numbers within 100 when multiplying and dividing. 3.OA.1.3 will be finalized in topic 14 to include measurement quantities. Note that multiplicative comparison problems are introduced in Grade 4 (4.OA.1.2). 3.OA.3.7 is finalized in topic 18. This gives students the opportunity to develop and practice strategies in order to achieve fluency by the end of the year. Students make sense of and solve various types of multiplication and division problems (MP.1) by using the relationship between the two operations (MP.7).

• use mental computation and estimation strategies, including rounding (prior to solving), to determine the reasonableness of answers to two-step word problems.

Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table or multiplication table), and explain them using properties of operations. For example, observe that 4 times a number is always even, and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends.

MAFS.3.OA.4.9

Students will:

• discover and identify patterns that occur in addition tables.

• explain addition patterns, including patterns that are not explicit, using properties of operations.

E.g., o Any sum of two even numbers is even. o Any sum of two odd numbers is even. o Any sum of an even number and an odd number is odd. o Changing the order of the addends does not change the sum.

• discover and identify patterns that occur in multiplication tables.

• explain multiplication patterns, including patterns that are not explicit, using properties of operations. E.g.,

All even numbers can be divided by 2. A skip counting pattern occurs in each row and column. Changing the order of the factors does not change the product. The product of two even numbers is always even. The product of two odd numbers is always odd. The product of one even and one odd number is always even.

Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100 MAFS.3.NBT.1.1

Students will:

• round whole numbers to the nearest 10 through the use of a number line, hundred chart, place value chart, etc.

• round whole numbers to the nearest 100 through the use of a number line, hundred chart, place value chart, etc.

• determine possible starting numbers when given a rounded number

• understand that the purpose of rounding is to make mental math easier and to check the reasonableness of an answer.

Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 (e.g., 9 x 80, 5 x 60) using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

MAFS.3.NBT.1.3

Students will:

• use concrete tools or drawings to multiply one-digit numbers by multiples of 10.

• apply place value understanding to multiply by multiples of 10. E.g., 4 x 50 is 4 groups of 5 tens or 20 tens. Twenty tens has the same value as 200.

• recognize patterns in multiplying by multiples of 10. E.g., “When you multiply a number by 10, the digits shift and the value becomes10 times greater.”

• multiply one-digit numbers by multiples of 10 in the range of 10-90 using strategies based on place value and properties of operation. E.g., 9 x 80 = 9 x (8 x 10) or (9 x 8) x 10

NOTE: This standard expects that students explain and reason about their products rather than “just adding zeroes”.

Topic 9: Developing strategies for multiplication and division Pacing: January 16 – 31 The focus for this unit is developing a conceptual understanding of decomposing multiplication problems through the use of the distributive property and the concept of area. Students are not required to use the properties explicitly, but are encouraged to discuss this concept and use area diagrams to support their reasoning.

Standards Academic Language

Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. E.g., If 6 x 4 = 24 is known, then 4 x 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative Property of multiplication). (3 x 5 x 2 can be found by 3 x 5 = 15, then 15 x 2 = 30, or by 5 x 2 = 10, then 3 x 10 =30. (Associate Property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 x 5 = 40, and 8 x 2 = 16, one can find 8 x 7 as 8 x (5 + 2) = (8 x 5) + (8 x 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive Property).

MAFS.3.OA.2.5

additive area column decompose length row square unit width

Students will:

• represent expressions using various objects, pictures, and words in order to develop understanding of the commutative and distributive properties of multiplication.

• apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply. o Commutative Property of multiplication: E.g., 3 × 2 is the same value as 2 × 3 o Distributive Property of multiplication: E.g., 5 × 7 is the same value as (5 × 5) + (5 × 2)

Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition. c. Use tiling to show in a concrete case that the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths a and b + c is the sum of a x b and a x c. Use area models to represent the distributive property in mathematical reasoning. d. Recognize area as additive. Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping

rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.

MAFS.3.MD.3.7

Students will:

• use square tiles to connect the area of rectangles to the distributive property.

• explain the relationship between tiling and multiplying decomposed side lengths to find the area of rectangles.

• create area models to represent the distributive property for the area of a rectangle.

• recognize area as additive. E.g.,

• solve real-world area problems involving composite polygons that can be decomposed into non-overlapping rectangles.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 7. Look for and make use of structure.

MAFS.K12.MP.3.1 MAFS.K12.MP.7.1

Topic Comments: 3.OA.2.5 will be revisited in topic 12 to address the associative property of multiplication. 3.MD.3.7 will be finalized in topic 12 to solve real world and mathematical problems involving area. Students use area diagrams and tiling (MP.5) to model the distributive property and generalize this experience to calculations (MP.7, MP.8).

Topic 10: Understanding equivalent fractions Pacing: February 1 - 14 In this topic students develop a conceptual understanding of equivalence. Multiple types of models and representations should be used to help students develop this understanding. Students will apply their understanding of equivalence in the next topic as they learn to compare fractions. Through repeated experience locating fractions on the number line, students will recognize that many fractions label the same point and use this to support their understanding of equivalency.

Standards Academic Language

Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size. a. Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are the same size, or the same point on a number line. b. Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, (e.g., 1/2= 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3). Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model. c. Express whole numbers as fractions and recognize fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers. E.g., Express 3 in the form 3 = 3/1; recognize that 6/1 = 6, locate 4/4 and 1 at the same point of a number line diagram.

MAFS.3.NF.1.3 area model denominator equivalent fractions linear model numerator partition unit fraction whole

Students will:

• identify and represent equivalent fractions using area models and linear models. E.g.,

NOTE: Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, 8.

• recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions.

• explain fraction equivalence (i.e., same area of the whole or same point on a number line).

NOTE: Grade 3 students only explore equivalent fractions using continuous models, rather than using:

algorithms: 1

2 ×

3

3 =

Topic 11: Comparing fractions Pacing: February 15 – March 2 In this topic students build on their prior work with fractions to reason about fraction size and structure to compare quantities. This topic focuses on a single standard to provide time for students to develop conceptual understanding of fraction comparisons and practice reasoning about size. Students defend their reasoning and critique the reasoning of others using both visual models and their understanding of the structure of fractions. This reasoning is important to develop a solid understanding of fraction magnitudes.

Standards Academic Language

Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size. d. Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

MAFS.3.NF.1.3

area model denominator equal parts equivalent fractions linear model numerator partition unit fraction whole < (less than) > (greater than) = (equal to)

Students will:

• recognize that fraction comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole.

• compare two fractions with the same denominator with and without visual models.

E.g., 3

8 of a pizza is less than

7

8 of the same size pizza. The pieces are the same size, so 3 of the

1

8 sized pieces is less than 7 of

the 1

8 sized pieces.

• compare two fractions with the same numerator with and without visual models.

E.g., 2

6 of a candy bar is more than

2

8 of the same size candy bar. Cutting the candy bar into 6 pieces results in bigger pieces than

cutting it into 8 pieces. Therefore 2 of the 1

6 sized pieces is more candy than 2 of the

1

8 sized pieces.

• record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusion. NOTE: Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, 8.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 7. Look for and make use of structure.

MAFS.K12.MP.3.1 MAFS.K12.MP.5.1 MAFS.K12.MP.7.1

Topic Comments: Students will use their understanding of structure (i.e., the role of the numerator and denominator) (MP.7) to reason about relative sizes of fractions (MP.3). Students use various tools to justify their comparisons, paying particular attention to the same-­‐sized wholes (MP.5).

Unit 4 PACING: March 5 – May 30

Topic 12: Solving problems involving area Pacing: March 5 – 23

The focus of this topic is to use area as a context to further develop multiplicative thinking. In this work, students bridge between concrete and abstract thinking, and use strategies to solve problems. This includes solving problems involving rectangular areas by multiplying side lengths and solving for an unknown number in related multiplication and division equations.

Standards Academic Language

Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 x ? = 48, 5 = __ ÷ 3, 6 x 6 = ?.

MAFS.3.OA.1.4

additive area dividend divisor factor inverse operation non-overlapping polygon product quotient

Students will:

• solve multiplication and division equations where the unknown number is represented by a symbol.

Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. E.g., If 6 x 4 = 24 is known, then 4 x 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative Property of multiplication). 3 x 5 x 2 can be found by 3 x 5 = 15, then 15 x 2 = 30, or by 5 x 2 = 10, then 3 x 10 – 30. (Associate Property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 x 5 = 40, and 8 x 2 = 16, one can find 8 x 7 as 8 x (5 + 2) = (8 x 5) + (8 x 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive Property).

MAFS.3.OA.2.5

Students will:

• represent expressions using various objects, pictures, and words in order to develop understanding of the commutative, distributive and associative properties of multiplication.

• apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply.

o Commutative Property of multiplication: E.g., 3 × 2 is the same value as 2 × 3 o Distributive Property of multiplication: E.g., 5 × 7 is the same value as (5 × 5) + (5 × 2) o Associative Property: E.g., 7 × 6 = 7 x (3 x 2), which is the same value as (7 x 3) x 2

Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition. b. Multiply side lengths to find areas of rectangles with whole-number side lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems, and represent whole-number products as rectangular areas in mathematical reasoning.

d. Recognize area as additive. Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.

MAFS.3.MD.3.7

Students will:

• solve real-world and mathematical area problems by multiplying length by width.

• use appropriate labels to represent answers to area problems (e.g., 4 square meters).

• decompose a composite polygon into non-overlapping rectangles to find its area by recognizing area as additive. E.g.,

• solve real-world area problems involving composite polygons that can be decomposed into non-overlapping rectangles.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 6. Attend to precision. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

MAFS.K12.MP.2.1 MAFS.K12.MP.6.1 MAFS.K12.MP.8.1

Topic Comments: 3.OA.2.5 introduces the associative property explicitly for the first time. This property is fundamental for developing higher-level computation strategies. In topic 9, students used various strategies to solve area problems. In 3.MD.3.7b students recognize that they can find area in real-world situations by multiplying side lengths—without necessarily using a rectangular array. In 3.MD.3.7d students use the understanding that area is additive to find the area of composite polygons by decomposing the polygon into non-overlapping rectangles. Students move in and out of context to solve these types of problems (MP.2) and use their repeated experience with area models to recognize that area problems can be solved using multiplication (MP.8). Students also explain precisely how an array corresponds to an expression (MP.6).

Topic 13: Solving problems involving shapes Pacing: March 26– April 6 The focus of this topic is reasoning with shapes and their attributes, including area and perimeter. The standards in this topic strongly support one another because perimeter, like area, is an attribute of shape. Prior work with area and perimeter allows students to differentiate between the two measures in this unit.

Standards Academic Language

Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.

MAFS.3.MD.4.8

angle area attribute category length linear perimeter polygon quadrilateral side vertex/vertices width

Students will:

• find the perimeter of a polygon that is located on a grid by counting the units.

• find the perimeter of a polygon when given the lengths of all sides.

• identify and use properties of polygons to find the unknown side length(s) of a polygon given the perimeter without using a grid.

• solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeter.

• demonstrate how rectangles with the same perimeter can have different areas.

• demonstrate how rectangles with the same area can have different perimeters.

• distinguish between linear (perimeter) and area measures and when each measure is appropriate to use

Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.

MAFS.3.G.1.1

Students will:

• understand that shapes in different categories may share attributes, and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., all closed plane figures with four straight sides belong to the category of quadrilaterals).

• analyze and compare the attributes of quadrilaterals (i.e., general quadrilaterals, parallelogram, trapezoid, rectangle, rhombus, and square).

• classify quadrilaterals by their attributes (number of sides, number of angles, whether the shape has a right angle, whether the sides are the same length, and whether the sides are straight lines).

• draw quadrilaterals other than rhombuses, rectangles, and squares (i.e., general quadrilaterals, trapezoid, parallelogram).

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 7. Look for and make use of structure.

MAFS.K12.MP.1.1 MAFS.K12.MP.3.1 MAFS.K12.MP.7.1

Topic Comments: 3.MD.4.8 is addressed in full in this topic and focuses on distinguishing between linear and area measures and examining their relationship. Students look for and make use of structure (MP.7) as they determine categories and subcategories of shapes by identifying and reasoning about their attributes. Students make conjectures involving the attributes and measures of shapes and analyze various ways of approaching problems (MP.1, MP.3)

Topic 14: Using multiplication and division to solve measurement problems Pacing: April 9 – April 20

This unit extends students’ work in unit 6 to include multiplication and division to solve problems involving measurement quantities.

Standards Academic Language

Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent a problem.

MAFS.3.OA.1.3 array equal groups estimate mass volume

Students will:

• use the following situations to solve real-world and mathematical problems related to multiplication within 100. o equal groups: Stan has 4 bags of cookies with 5 cookies in each bag. How many cookies does he have?

Hector has 12 wrenches. He puts 4 in each compartment in his tool box. How many compartments does it take to hold all of his wrenches?

o array model: Mrs. Smith arranges the desks in her classroom. She has 4 rows with 3 desks in each row. How many desks are in her classroom? A marching band has 28 members. The director puts the members into equal columns of 7. How many columns does it take to arrange all of the band members?

o measurement quantities: these problems will focus on multiplication situations involving units of measure.

• represent multiplication and division word problems involving numbers within 100 using objects, drawings, and equations using a symbol for the unknown number.

Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.

MAFS.3.MD.1.2

Students will:

• estimate masses of solid objects (grams and kilograms).

• measure masses of solid objects (grams and kilograms).

• estimate volumes of liquids (milliliters and liters).

• measure volumes of liquids (milliliters and liters).

• solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

MAFS.K12.MP.1.1 MAFS.K12.MP.2.1 MAFS.K12.MP.5.1

Topic Comments: 3.OA.1.3 includes the use of all of the problem types in the Common Multiplication and Division Situations Table (see pg. 61) except for multiplicative compare problems—which will be introduced in Grade 4.

Topic 15: Demonstrating computational fluency in problem solving Pacing: April 23 – May 15 This is a culminating topic in which students focus on problem solving in order to demonstrate fluency with addition and subtraction to 1000 and demonstrate

fluency for multiplication and division within 100.

Standards Academic Language

Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 x 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

MAFS.3.OA.3.7

digit difference dividend division divisor equation factor inverse operation multiply product quotient sum

Students will:

• multiply within 100 choosing and using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division or properties of operations.

• divide within 100 by choosing and using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division or properties of operations.

• know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers. NOTE: Computational fluency is defined as accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility. Research indicates that teachers can best

support students’ knowledge of sums and differences through varied experiences with mental strategies rather than using repetitive timed tests.

Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

MAFS.3.OA.4.8

Students will:

• use the four operations to solve two-step word problems representing the problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity.

• use mental computation and estimation strategies, including rounding (prior to solving), to determine the reasonableness of answers to two-step word problems.

Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

MAFS.3.NBT.1.2

Students will:

• fluently add and subtract within 1000, using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

NOTE: The Standards distinguish strategies from algorithms. From the Standards glossary:

Computation strategy- Purposeful manipulations that may be chosen for specific problems, may not have a fixed order, and may be aimed at converting one problem into another. Computation algorithm- A set of predefined steps applicable to a class of problems that gives the correct result in every case when the steps are carried out correctly.

Page 52: Third Grade MATHEMATICS - Volusia County Schools Maps and Guid… · Third Grade MATHEMATICS ... Grade 1 Math Curriculum Map Mathematics Department ... Teacher Guide, p. 3 /grade

51 Volusia County Schools Grade 3 Math Curriculum Map Mathematics Department July 2017

Work with computation begins with use of strategies and “efficient, accurate, and generalizable methods.” For addition and subtraction, the culmination of this work is signaled in the Grade 4 Standards by use of the term “standard algorithm.”

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

MAFS.K12.MP.2.1 MAFS.K12.MP.8.1

Topic Comments: 3.OA.4.8 was introduced in topic 8 and is finalized in this topic to include the use of letters to represent unknown quantities in equations.

Students demonstrate fluency in multiplication and division within 100 using various strategies and the properties of these operations (MP.8). They also represent these calculations and problem situations abstractly using letters (MP.2).

These standards are revisited from topic 12 in order to further develop multiplicative thinking and solidify student understanding of area and perimeter prior to Grade 4.

Learning Intentions Standards Academic Language

Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.

MAFS.3.MD.4.8

area perimeter polygon product quotient Students will:

• demonstrate how rectangles with the same perimeter can have different areas.

• demonstrate how rectangles with the same area can have different perimeters.

• distinguish between linear (perimeter) and area measures and when each measure is appropriate to use

Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. E.g., If 6 x 4 = 24 is known, then 4 x 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative Property of multiplication). 3 x 5 x 2 can be found by 3 x 5 = 15, then 15 x 2 = 30, or by 5 x 2 = 10, then 3 x 10 – 30. (Associate Property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 x 5 = 40, and 8 x 2 = 16, one can find 8 x 7 as 8 x (5 + 2) = (8 x 5) + (8 x 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive Property).

Critical Areas for Mathematics in Grade 3

rigor

In Grade 3, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of multiplication and division within 100; (2) developing understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions (fractions with numerator 1); (3) developing understanding of the structure of rectangular arrays and of area; and (4) describing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes.

(1) Students develop understanding of the meanings of multiplication and division of whole numbers through activities and problems

involving equal-sized groups, arrays, and area models; multiplication is finding an unknown product, and division is finding an unknown factor in these situations. For equal-sized group situations, division can require finding the unknown number of groups or the unknown group size. Students use properties of operations to calculate products of whole numbers, using increasingly sophisticated strategies based on these properties to solve multiplication and division problems involving single-digit factors. By comparing a variety of solution strategies, students learn the relationship between multiplication and division.

(2) Students develop an understanding of fractions, beginning with unit fractions. Students view fractions in general as being built out of unit fractions, and they use fractions along with visual fraction models to represent parts of a whole. Students understand that the size of a fractional part is relative to the size of the whole. For example, 1/2 of the paint in a small bucket could be less paint than 1/3 of the paint in a larger bucket, but 1/3 of a ribbon is longer than 1/5 of the same ribbon because when the ribbon is divided into 3 equal parts, the parts are longer than when the ribbon is divided into 5 equal parts. Students are able to use fractions to represent numbers equal to and less than. They solve problems that involve comparing fractions by using visual fraction models and strategies based on noticing equal numerators or denominators.

(3) Students recognize area as an attribute of two-dimensional regions. They measure the area of a shape by finding the total number of same-size units of area required to cover the shape without gaps or overlaps, a square with sides of unit length being the standard unit for measuring area. Students understand that rectangular arrays can be decomposed into identical rows or into identical columns. By decomposing rectangles into rectangular arrays of squares, students connect area to multiplication, and justify using multiplication to determine the area of a rectangle.

(4) Students describe, analyze, and compare properties of two-dimensional shapes (i.e., quadrilaterals). They compare and classify

shapes by their sides and angles, and connect these with definitions of shapes. Students also relate their fraction work to geometry by expressing the area of part of a shape as a unit fraction of the whole.

Standards for Mathematical Practice Grade 3 students will:

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. (SMP.1) Mathematically proficient students in Grade 3 know that doing mathematics involves solving problems and discussing how they solved them. Students explain to themselves the meaning of a

problem and look for ways to solve it. Third graders may use concrete objects or pictures to help them conceptualize and solve problems. They may check their thinking by asking themselves, “Does

this make sense?” They listen to the strategies of others and will try different approaches. Students in Grade 3 will often use another method to check their answers.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (SMP.2) Mathematically proficient students in Grade 3 recognize that a number represents a specific quantity. They connect the quantity to written symbols and create a logical representation of the problem

at hand, considering both the appropriate units involved and the meaning of quantities. This involves two processes- decontexualizing and contextualizing. In Grade 3, students represent situations

by decontextualizing tasks into numbers and symbols. For example, in the task, “There are 8 bags of cookies with the same amount of cookies in each bag. If there are 48 cookies how many cookies

are in each bag?” Grade 3 students are expected to translate that situation into the equation: 8 × __ = 48 or 48 / 8 = __ and then solve the task. Students also contextualize situations during the

problem solving process. For example, while solving the task above, students can refer to the context of the task to determine that they were given the number of bags, and the total number of

cookies, but they need to find the number of cookies in each bag.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. (SMP.3) Mathematically proficient students in Grade 3 may construct arguments using concrete referents, such as objects, pictures, and drawings. They refine their mathematical communication skills as they

participate in mathematical discussions involving questions like “How did you get that?” and “Why is that true?” They explain their thinking to others and respond to others’ thinking. For example,

when comparing the fractions 1/3 and 1/5, students may generate their own representation of both fractions and then critique each others’ reasoning in class, as they connect their arguments to the

representations that they created.

4. Model with mathematics. (SMP.4) Mathematically proficient students in Grade 3 experiment with representing problem situations in multiple ways including numbers, words (mathematical language), drawing pictures, using objects,

acting out, making a chart, list, or graph, creating equations, etc. Students should have ample opportunities to connect the different representations and explain the connections. Grade 3 students

should evaluate their results in the context of the situation and reflect on whether the results make sense.

5. Use appropriate tools strategically. (SMP.5) Mathematically proficient students in Grade 3 consider the available tools (including estimation) when solving a mathematical problem and decide when certain tools might be helpful. For instance,

they may use graph paper to find all the possible rectangles that have a given perimeter. They compile the possibilities into an organized list or a table, and determine whether they have all the

possible rectangles.

6. Attend to precision. (SMP.6) Mathematically proficient students in Grade 3 develop their mathematical communication skills, they try to use clear and precise language in their discussions with others and in their own reasoning.

They are careful about specifying units of measure and state the meaning of the symbols they choose. For instance, when figuring out the area of a rectangle they record their answers in square

units.

7. Look for and make use of structure. (SMP.7) Mathematically proficient students in Grade 3 look closely to discover a pattern or structure. For instance, students use properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide (commutative and

distributive properties).

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. (SMP.8) Mathematically proficient students in Grade 3 notice repetitive actions in computation and look for more shortcut methods. For example, students may use the distributive property as a strategy for

using products they know to solve products that they don’t know. For example, if students are asked to find the product of 7 x 8, they might decompose 7 into 5 and 2 and then multiply 5 x 8 and 2 x

8 to arrive at 40 + 16 which equals 56. In addition, third graders continually evaluate their work by asking themselves, “Does this make sense?”

Darker shading indicates the four Kindergarten problem subtypes. Grade 1 and 2 students work with all subtypes and variants. Unshaded (white) problems are the four difficult subtypes or variants that students should work with in Grade 1 but need not master until Grade 2. Adapted from CCSS, p. 88, which is based on Mathematics Learning in Early Childhood: Paths Toward Excellence and Equity, National Research Council, 2009, pp. 32–33.

1 This can be used to show all decompositions of a given number, especially important for numbers within 10. Equations with totals on the left help children understand that = does not always mean “makes” or “results in” but always means “is the same number as.” Such problems are not a problem subtype with one unknown, as is the Addend Unknown subtype to the right. These problems are a productive variation with two unknowns that give experience with finding all the decompositions of a number and reflecting on the patterns involved.

2 Either addend can be unknown; both variations should be included.

1 The first examples in each cell are examples of discrete things. These are easier for students and should be given before the measurement examples. 2 The language in the array examples shows the easiest form of array problems. A harder form is to use the terms rows and columns: The apples in the grocery window are in 3 rows and 6 columns. How many apples are in there? Both forms are valuable. 3 Area involves arrays of squares that have been pushed together so that there are no gaps or overlaps, so array problems include these especially important measurement situations. 4 Multiplicative Compare problems appear first in Grade 4, with whole-number values for A, B, and C, and with the “times as much” language in the table. In Grade 5, unit fractions language such as “one third as much” may be used. Multiplying and unit fraction language change the subject of the comparing sentence, e.g., “A red hat costs A times as much as the blue hat” results in the same comparison as “A blue hat

costs 1

𝑎 times as much as the red hat,” but has a different subject.
