mathematical practice standards mp summary of each standard 1 make sense of problems and persevere in solving them in third grade students 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 they often will use another method to check their answers third graders should 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 2 reason abstractly and quantitatively 3 construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others in third grade students 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 students 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 need opportunities to connect the different representations and explain the connections they should be able to use all of these representations as needed third graders should evaluate their results in the context of the situation and reflect on whether the results make sense third graders 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 as third graders 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 in third grade students 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 students in third grade should 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 or 56 in addition third graders continually evaluate their work by asking themselves does this make sense 4 model with mathematics 5 use appropriate tools strategically 6 attend to precision 7 look for and make use of structure deductive reasoning 8 look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning inductive reasoning 2 standards for math practice smp

critical areas for mathematics in 3rd grade in grade 3 instructional time should focus on four critical areas 1 developing understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for 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 an 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 less than and greater than one 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 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 3 critical areas
