Number and Operations in Base Ten 3NBT
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic
3NBT3 Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10ndash90 (eg 9 times 80 5 times 60) using strategies based on place value and properties of operations
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Geometry 3GReason with shapes and their attributes
3G1 Understand that shapes in different categories (eg rhombuses rectangles and others) may share attributes (eg having four sides) and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (eg quadrilaterals) Recognize rhombuses rectangles and squares as examples of quadrilaterals and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories
3G2 Partition shapes into parts with equal areas Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole For example partition a shape into 4 parts with equal area and describe the area of each part as 14 of the area of the shape

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OARepresent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Geometry 3GReason with shapes and their attributes
3G1 Understand that shapes in different categories (eg rhombuses rectangles and others) may share attributes (eg having four sides) and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (eg quadrilaterals) Recognize rhombuses rectangles and squares as examples of quadrilaterals and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories
3G2 Partition shapes into parts with equal areas Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole For example partition a shape into 4 parts with equal area and describe the area of each part as 14 of the area of the shape

Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OARepresent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OARepresent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OARepresent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Geometric measurement recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures
3MD7 Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition
7a Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths
7b 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
7c Use tiling to show in a concrete case that the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths a and b + c is the sum of a times b and a times c Use area models to represent the distributive property in mathematical reasoning
7d Recognize area as additive Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts applying this technique to solve real world problems
3MD8 Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons including finding the perimeter given the side lengths finding an unknown side length and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3OA3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems insituations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
3OA4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or divisionequation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =
Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

3OA1 Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the totalnumber of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 7
3OA2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8

Ohio Learning Standards ndash Math
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA Understand properties of multiplication and the relationshipbetween multiplication and division
3OA5 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide2 Examples If 6 times 4 = 24 is known then 4 times 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication) 3 times 5 times 2 can be found by 3 times 5 = 15 then 15 times 2 = 30 or by 5 times 2 = 10 then 3 times 10 = 30 (Associative property of multiplication) Knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 and 8 times 2 = 16 one can find 8 times 7 as 8 times (5 + 2) = (8 times 5) + (8 times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property)
3OA6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem For example find32 divide 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8
Multiply and divide within 100
3OA7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100 using strategies such as therelationship between multiplication and division (eg knowing that 8 times 5 = 40 one knows 40 divide 5 = 8) or properties of operations By the end of Grade 3 know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 3OA
Solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic
3OA8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding
3OA9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table ormultiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations For example observe that 4 times a number is always even and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends

Offspring resemble their parents and each other Individual organisms inherit many traits from their parents indicating a reliable way to transfer information from one generation to the next Some behavioral traits are learned through interactions with the environment and are not inherited Individuals of the same kind differ in their traits and sometimes the differences give individuals an advantage in surviving and reproducing Plants and animals have physical features that are associated with the environments where they live Plants and animals have certain physical or behavioral characteristics that improve their chances of surviving in particular environments Individuals of the same kind have different characteristics that they have inherited Sometimes these different characteristics give individuals an advantage in surviving and reproducing Plants and animals have life cycles that are part of their adaptations for survival in their natural environments Over the whole earth organisms are growing reproducing dying and decaying The details of the life cycle are different for different organisms which affects their ability to survive and reproduce in their natural environments

Geometric measurement recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures
3MD7 Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition
7a Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths
7b 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
7c Use tiling to show in a concrete case that the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths a and b + c is the sum of a times b and a times c Use area models to represent the distributive property in mathematical reasoning
7d Recognize area as additive Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts applying this technique to solve real world problems
3MD8 Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons including finding the perimeter given the side lengths finding an unknown side length and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters
