NM 3rd Grade Math Topics
- Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Interpreting products and quotients of whole numbers, solving multiplication and division word problems, applying properties of operations, understanding division as an unknown-factor problem, fluently multiplying and dividing within 100, solving two-step word problems, 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 within 1000, and multiplying one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10.
- Number and Operations - Fractions: Understanding fractions as quantities formed by equal parts, 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 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 areas by counting unit squares, relating area to multiplication and addition, solving problems involving perimeters of polygons, understanding shared attributes of shape categories, and partitioning shapes into equal parts expressed as unit fractions.
