By the end of third grade, students can read, write, compare, and order whole numbers through 1000 and fractions with common denominators. They can demonstrate their understanding of place value through the use of physical models and can translate problem-solving situations into simple expressions or equations. They can identify and compare fractional parts and relate them appropriately to whole number partitions and two-dimensional models.
Students can add and subtract multi-digit numbers using a strategy appropriate to the situation.
They can demonstrate the relationship between multiplication and division, create and use strategies for solving the multiplication and division basic facts, and multiply single digit numbers by 10s and 100s. They can use standard units of measurement and apply estimation strategies to quantities, measurement, computation, and problem-solving situations. Students can measure perimeter, area, and volume as a means of describing and comparing geometric figures. They can identify, compare, and sort geometric figures and construct three-dimensional models. They can verify geometric transformations and describe the location of a figure on a coordinate plane.
