- 3.G.1.b Recognize and classify quadrilaterals (rectangles, squares, parallelograms, rhombuses, trapezoids) by side lengths and understanding shapes in different categories may share attributes and the shared attributes can define a larger category.
- 3.G.1.c Identify shapes that do not belong to a given category or subcategory.
- 3.G.2 Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole. (MP.2, MP.5)
MEASUREMENT AND DATA

- 3.MD.2.a Measure and estimate masses and liquid volumes of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg) and liters (L).
- 3.MD.2.b Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units.
- 3.MD.3.a Identify a statistical question focused on categorical data and gather data.
- 3.MD.3.b Create a scaled pictograph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set (using technology or by hand).
- 3.MD.3.c Make observations from the graph about the question posed, including “how many more” and “how many less” questions.
- 3.MD.4.a Identify a statistical question focused on numerical data.
- 3.MD.4.b Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch.
- 3.MD.4.c Show the data by making a dot plot where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units—whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
- 3.MD.4.d Make observations from the graph about the question posed, including questions about the shape of the data and compare responses.
- 3.MD.5 Recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and understand concepts of area measurement. (MP.5)
- 3.MD.6 Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm, square m, square in, square ft. and improvised units). (MP.5, MP.6)
- 3.MD.7.a Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it and show the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths.
- 3.MD.7.b Multiply side lengths to find areas of rectangles with whole-number side lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems and represent whole-number products as rectangular areas in mathematical reasoning.
- 3.MD.7.c Use tiling to show in a concrete case the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths a and b+c is the sum of a×b and a×c. Use area models to represent the distributive property in mathematical reasoning.
- 3.MD.7.d Recognize area as additive. Find areas of figures that can be decomposed into non-overlapping rectangles by adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.
- 3.MD.8.a Find the perimeter given the side lengths of a polygon.
- 3.MD.8.b Find an unknown side length, given the perimeter and some lengths.
- 3.MD.8.c Draw rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.
NUMBERS AND OPERATIONS IN BASE TEN
- 3.NBT.1 Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100. (MP.7)
- 3.NBT.2 Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. (MP.2, MP.3)
- 3.NBT.3 Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range of 10–90 using strategies based on place value and properties of operations. (MP.7, MP.8)
NUMBERS AND OPERATIONS—FRACTIONS
- 3.NF.1 Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b. (MP.2, MP.7)
- 3.NF.2.a.1 Recognize each part has size 1/b
- 3.NF.2.a.2 a unit fraction, 1/b is located 1/b of a whole unit from 0 on the number line
- 3.NF.2.b Represent a non-unit fraction a/b on a number line by marking off lengths of 1/b (unit fractions) from 0. Recognize that the resulting interval has size a/b and that its endpoint locates the non-unit fraction a/b on the number line.
- 3.NF.3.a Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are the same size, or same point on a number line.
- 3.NF.3.b Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions. Explain why the fractions are equivalent through writing or drawing.
- 3.NF.3.c Express whole numbers as fractions and recognize fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers.
- 3.NF.3.d Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions.
