1. Grade 3 · Analyze, represent, and interpret data.
- Representing numbers with objects (age 8+): Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set; solve one- and two-step comparison, sum, and difference problems using bar charts, pictograms, and tables
2. Grade 3 · Pose investigative questions and collect/consider data.
- Estimating answers (age 7+): Estimate and read time with increasing accuracy to the nearest minute; record and compare time in terms of seconds, minutes, and hours
3. Grade 3 · Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter.
- Perimeters of polygons: Solve problems involving perimeters of polygons: find perimeter from side lengths, find an unknown side length, and explore rectangles with same perimeter but different areas (or vice versa)
4. Grade 3 · Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition.
- Area (age 8+): Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm, square m, square in, square ft)
5. Grade 3 · Solve problems involving measurement and estimation.
- Measuring Liquids & Masses: Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using grams, kilograms, and litres; solve one-step word problems involving mass or volume
6. Grade 3 · Reason with shapes and their attributes.
- Fractions as parts of shapes: Partition shapes into parts with equal areas and express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole
- Angles in triangles (age 6+): Distinguish defining attributes of shapes (e.g. triangles are closed and three-sided) from non-defining attributes (e.g. colour, orientation, overall size)
7. Grade 3 · Develop understanding of fractions as numbers.
- Unit fractions: Recognise, find, and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators
- Comparing fractions (age 7+): Solve problems involving counting in tenths, fractions of quantities, equivalence, fraction addition/subtraction, and fraction comparison
- Understanding fractions (age 9+): Construct and present logical mathematical arguments involving multiple steps; critique others' reasoning about fractions, angles, or calculations and clearly explain errors or alternative methods
- Understanding fractions: Move fluently between real-world situations, diagrams, and symbolic equations involving three-digit numbers and fractions, explaining what each part represents
- Fractions on a number line: Recognise and use fractions as numbers: place unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators on a number line
- Understanding fractions (age 9+): Understand a fraction a/b with a > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/b (e.g. 3/5 = 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5)
- Fraction Addition Concepts: Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts; decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way
8. Grade 3 · Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
- Multiplying by Tens: Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10–90 using strategies based on place value and properties of operations
- Fluent adding and subtracting within 1000: Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction
- Place Value Problem-Solving: Solve number and practical problems involving place value with increasingly large positive numbers
9. Grade 3 · Solve problems involving the four operations, and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic.
- Patterns in Times Tables: Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table or multiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations
- Two-Step Equations: Solve two-step word problems using the four operations; represent problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity
10. Grade 3 · Multiply and divide within 100.
- Fluent adding and subtracting within 100: Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction
11. Grade 3 · Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division.
- Division as Unknown Factor: Understand division as an unknown-factor problem (e.g. find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8)
- Properties of Operations: Apply properties of operations (commutative, associative, distributive) as strategies to multiply and divide
12. Grade 3 · Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction.
- Unknown in Addition & Subtraction: Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers
- What Division Means: Interpret whole-number quotients (e.g. 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share or the number of equal groups)
- Multiplication and Division Word Problems: Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities
- Multiplication as repeated addition: Understand multiplication as repeated addition and grouping equal sets
