The highlighted evidence outcomes are the priority for all students, serving as the essential concepts and skills. It is recommended that the remaining evidence outcomes listed be addressed as time allows, representing the full breadth of the curriculum.
Students Can (Evidence Outcomes):
3.OA.D. Operations & Algebraic Thinking: Solve problems involving the four operations, and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic.
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. (This evidence outcome is limited to problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers; students should know how to perform operations in the conventional order of operations when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order.) (CCSS: 3.OA.D.8)
Solve problems involving the four operations. (Entrepreneurial Skills: Critical Thinking/Problem Solving)
Mathematically model changes in quantities described in real-world contexts using the appropriate numbers, operations, symbols, and letters to represent unknowns. (MP4)
Complement arithmetic strategies with mental computation and estimation to assess answers for accuracy. (MP6)
Inquiry Questions
How can a visual model support making sense of and solving word problems?
Coherence Connections
This expectation represents major work of the grade.
In Grade 2, students represent and solve one- and two-step word problems involving addition and subtraction.
This expectation connects to several ideas in Grade 3: (a) representing and solving problems involving multiplication and division, (b) multiplying and dividing within 100, (c) solving problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects, and (d) using concepts of area and relating area to multiplication and to addition.
In Grade 4, students use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.
