Minnesota MCA III Grade 3 Math Standards Practice Map

Round numbers to the nearest 10,000, 1000, 100 and 10. Round up and round down to estimate sums and differences

Add and subtract multi-digit numbers, using efficient and generalizable procedures based on knowledge of place value, including standard algorithms

Use addition and subtraction to solve real-world and mathematical problems involving whole numbers. Use various strategies, including the relationship between addition and subtraction, the use of technology, and the context of the problem to assess the reasonableness of results

Represent multiplication facts by using a variety of approaches, such as repeated addition, equal-sized groups, arrays, area models, equal jumps on a number line and skip counting. Represent division facts by using a variety of approaches, such as repeated subtraction, equal sharing and forming equal groups. Recognize the relationship between multiplication and division

Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving multiplication and division, including both "how many in each group" and "how many groups" division problems

Use strategies and algorithms based on knowledge of place value, equality and properties of addition and multiplication to multiply a two- or three-digit number by a one-digit number. Strategies may include mental strategies, partial products, the standard algorithm, and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties

Read and write fractions with words and symbols. Recognize that fractions can be used to represent parts of a whole, parts of a set, points on a number line, or distances on a number line

Understand that the size of a fractional part is relative to the size of the whole

Order and compare unit fractions and fractions with like denominators by using models and an understanding of the concept of numerator and denominator

Create, describe, and apply single-operation input-output rules involving addition, subtraction and multiplication to solve problems in various contexts

Understand how to interpret number sentences involving multiplication and division basic facts and unknowns. Create real-world situations to represent number sentences

Use multiplication and division basic facts to represent a given problem situation using a number sentence. Use number sense and multiplication and division basic facts to find values for the unknowns that make the number sentences true

Identify parallel and perpendicular lines in various contexts, and use them to describe and create geometric shapes, such as right triangles, rectangles, parallelograms and trapezoids

Use half units when measuring distances

Collect, display and interpret data using frequency tables, bar graphs, picture graphs and number line plots having a variety of scales. Use appropriate titles, labels and units
