THIRD GRADE ALGEBRA STANDARDS

THE STUDENT WILL:

  1. solve problems involving numeric equations or inequalities.
  2. explain the relationship between repeated addition and multiplication.
  3. recognize and use the commutative and associative properties of multiplication. (example: if 6 x 7 = 42, then what is 7 x 6?)
  4. use appropriate terms in mathematical explanations. (example: multiple, factor, product)
  5. identify special properties of 0 and 1 with respect to arithmetic operations.
  6. represent given problem situations using diagrams, models, and symbolic expressions.
  7. select appropriate operational and relational symbols to make expressions true. (example: 4 _ 3 = 12)
  8. use concrete materials to model and solve equations.
  9. explain the relationship between multiplication and division to compute and check results. (example: 3 x 7 = 21, so 21 / 7 = _)
  10. determine various multiplication and division sentences for a given number.

    11.  investigate and describe the concept of variable (unknown quantity). (example: 3 + z = 5)

THIRD GRADE NUMBER SENSE STANDARDS

THE STUDENT WILL:

  1. add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using various computational methods.
  2. recall multiplication and division facts through the nines.
  3. solve problems using addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
