GRADE 3

GOAL: The student understands and applies the concepts and procedures of mathematics.

Washington State Essential Academic Learning Requirements	Meridian School District Math Framework	Assessment Strategies
The learner will: 1.1 Understanding apply concepts and procedures from number sense BENCHMARKS Number and Numeration Use objects, pictures, or symbols to demonstrate understanding of whole and fractional numbers, and place value in whole numbers. Identify, compare and order whole numbers and simple fractions Demonstrate an understanding of the properties of the whole number system. Computation and Estimation Show understanding of whole number operations (+, -, x, ¸) using blocks, sticks, beans, etc. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers Use mental arithmetic, pencil and paper, or calculator as appropriate to the task involving whole numbers Identify situations involving whole numbers in which estimation is useful Use estimation to predict computation results and to determine the reasonableness of answers, for example, estimating a grocery bill	To meet this standard the learner will: 1.1 Uses physical models, pictures, and symbols to demonstrate the relationship between ones, tens and 100s Uses physical models and equations (symbols) to demonstrate the commutative property related to place value (100 + 4 + 60 = 100 + 60 + 4) Uses physical models, pictures and symbols to compare and order fractions with common denominators. (frame works) Uses place value materials to solve addition and subtraction problems containing multi-digit whole numbers through hundreds Computes to solve problems in realistic situations containing multi-digit numbers using the addition or subtraction strategy most appropriate to the situation (mental math, paper and pencil, calculator) Uses models, diagrams, and symbols to demonstrate the relationship between multiplication and division Creates and uses strategies to solve multiplication and division basic facts Uses mental math to multiply one-digit numbers by 10s and 100s Describes and justifies reasonableness of an estimate in a multiplication context	1	2	3	4	5

The learner will: 1.2 Understand and apply concepts and procedures from measurement BENCHMARKS Attributes and dimensions Understand concepts of perimeter, area, and volume Use directly measurable attributes such as length, perimeter, areas, volume/capacity, angle, weight/mass, money, and temperature to describe and compare objects Approximation and precision Understand that measurement of approximate Estimate to predict and determine when measurement are reasonable, for example, estimating the length of the playground by pacing it off Systems and tools Understand the benefits of using standard units of measurement for measuring length, area, and volume Understand appropriate units of measure for time, money, length, area, volume, mass, and temperature Select and use appropriate tools for measuring time, money, length, area, volume, mass, and temperature	To meet this standard the learner will: 1.2 Determines area and perimeter of irregular two-dimensional figures Uses language and symbols to compare attributes of perimeter and area Uses physical models to determine volume of rectangular solids Describes and justifies reasonableness of an estimate involving length, weight/mass, area, time and temperature in other disciplines Measures length, area, weight/mass, time, and temperature to the nearest whole and common fractional parts of units when given a realistic situation in other disciplines Uses perimeter and area to describe attributes of geometric figures	1	2	3	4	5
