Arizona 3rd Grade Math Topics
- Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Interpreting products and quotients of whole numbers, solving multiplication and division word problems within 100, applying properties of operations, understanding division as an unknown-factor problem, achieving fluency with multiplication and division, solving two-step word problems using the four operations, and identifying arithmetic patterns.
- Number and Operations in Base Ten: Using place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100, adding and subtracting fluently within 1000 using place-value strategies, and multiplying one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10.
- Number and Operations - Fractions: Understanding unit fractions, representing fractions on a number line, explaining equivalence of fractions, and comparing fractions by reasoning about their size.
- Measurement and Data: Telling and writing time to the nearest minute, measuring liquid volumes and masses, drawing scaled picture graphs and bar graphs, and generating measurement data with rulers marked in halves and fourths of an inch.
- Geometry: Recognizing area as an attribute of plane figures, measuring area by counting unit squares, relating area to multiplication and addition, solving real-world perimeter problems, understanding shared attributes of shapes, and partitioning shapes into equal areas expressed as unit fractions.
