Louisiana 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, identifying arithmetic patterns, and solving two-step word problems using all four operations.
- Number and Operations in Base Ten: Rounding whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100, fluently adding and subtracting within 1000 using place value strategies, and multiplying one-digit numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10-90.
- Number and Operations - Fractions: Understanding unit fractions formed by equal parts of a whole, representing fractions on a number line, explaining fraction equivalence, and comparing fractions by reasoning about their size.
- Measurement and Data: Telling and writing time to the nearest minute, measuring liquid volumes and masses using standard units, drawing scaled picture graphs and bar graphs, and generating measurement data using rulers marked with 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 perimeter problems for polygons, understanding shared shape attributes, and partitioning shapes into equal areas expressed as unit fractions.
