Grade 3 Math
In Grade 3, instructional time should focus on four critical areas:
(1) developing understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within 100;
(2) developing understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions (fractions with numerator 1);
(3) developing understanding of the structure of rectangular arrays and of area; and
(4) describing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes.
The Fluency Expectation in Grade 3 is that students will be able to multiply & divide within 100 (know single digit products from memory), and add & subtract within 1,000.
