RULE §111.5Grade 3, Adopted 2012

    (G) use strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm, to multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number. Strategies may include mental math, partial products, and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties;

    (H) determine the number of objects in each group when a set of objects is partitioned into equal shares or a set of objects is shared equally;

    (I) determine if a number is even or odd using divisibility rules;

    (J) determine a quotient using the relationship between multiplication and division; and

    (K) solve one-step and two-step problems involving multiplication and division within 100 using strategies based on objects; pictorial models, including arrays, area models, and equal groups; properties of operations; or recall of facts.

  (5) Algebraic reasoning. The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze and create patterns and relationships. The student is expected to:

    (A) represent one- and two-step problems involving addition and subtraction of whole numbers to 1,000 using pictorial models, number lines, and equations;

    (B) represent and solve one- and two-step multiplication and division problems within 100 using arrays, strip diagrams, and equations;

    (C) describe a multiplication expression as a comparison such as 3 x 24 represents 3 times as much as 24;

    (D) determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers when the unknown is either a missing factor or product; and

    (E) represent real-world relationships using number pairs in a table and verbal descriptions.

  (6) Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional geometric figures to develop generalizations about their properties. The student is expected to:

    (A) classify and sort two- and three-dimensional figures, including cones, cylinders, spheres, triangular and rectangular prisms, and cubes, based on attributes using formal geometric language;

    (B) use attributes to recognize rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories;

    (C) determine the area of rectangles with whole number side lengths in problems using multiplication related to the number of rows times the number of unit squares in each row;

    (D) decompose composite figures formed by rectangles into non-overlapping rectangles to determine the area of the original figure using the additive property of area; and

    (E) decompose two congruent two-dimensional figures into parts with equal areas and express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole and recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.

  (7) Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to select appropriate units, strategies, and tools to solve problems involving customary and metric measurement. The student is expected to:

    (A) represent fractions of halves, fourths, and eighths as distances from zero on a number line;

    (B) determine the perimeter of a polygon or a missing length when given perimeter and remaining side lengths in problems;

    (C) determine the solutions to problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes using pictorial models or tools such as a 15-minute event plus a 30-minute event equals 45 minutes;

    (D) determine when it is appropriate to use measurements of liquid volume (capacity) or weight; and

    (E) determine liquid volume (capacity) or weight using appropriate units and tools.

  (8) Data analysis. The student applies mathematical process standards to solve problems by collecting, organizing, displaying, and interpreting data. The student is expected to:

    (A) summarize a data set with multiple categories using a frequency table, dot plot, pictograph, or bar graph with scaled intervals; and

    (B) solve one- and two-step problems using categorical data represented with a frequency table, dot plot, pictograph, or bar graph with scaled intervals.

  (9) Personal financial literacy. The student applies mathematical process standards to manage one's financial resources effectively for lifetime financial security. The student is expected to:

    (A) explain the connection between human capital/labor and income;

    (B) describe the relationship between the availability or scarcity of resources and how that impacts cost;

    (C) identify the costs and benefits of planned and unplanned spending decisions;

    (D) explain that credit is used when wants or needs exceed the ability to pay and that it is the borrower's responsibility to pay it back to the lender, usually with interest;

    (E) list reasons to save and explain the benefit of a savings plan, including for college; and

    (F) identify decisions involving income, spending, saving, credit, and charitable giving.
