I Can Use Multiplication and Division to Help Me Understand Math
• I can understand multiplication by thinking about groups of objects. 3.OA.1
• I can understand division by thinking about how one group can be divided into smaller groups. 3.OA.2
• I can use what I know about multiplication and division to solve word problems. 3.OA.3
• I can find the missing number in a multiplication or division equation. 3.OA.4
• I can use the Commutative property of multiplication. (I know that if 6 x 4 = 24, then 4 x 6 = 24.) 3.OA.5
• I can use the Associative property of multiplication. (To figure out 3 x 5 x 2 I can multiply 3 x 5 = 15, then 15 x 2 = 30 OR multiply 5 x 2 = 10,
then 3 x 10 = 30.) 3.OA.5
• I can use the Distributive property of multiplication. (To figure out 8 x 7, I can think of 8 x (5 + 2) I can find the answer to a division problem
by thinking of the missing factor in a multiplication problem. (I can figure out 32 ÷ 8 because I know that 8 x 4 = 32.) 3.OA.6
• I can multiply and divide within 100 easily and quickly because I know how multiplication and division are related. 3.OA.7
• I can use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve all kinds of word problems and then use mental math to decide if my
answers are reasonable. 3.OA.8
• I can find patterns in addition and multiplication tables and explain them using what I know about how numbers work. 3.OA.9
I Can Use Number Sense and Place Value to Help Me Understand Math
• I can round numbers to the nearest ten or 100. 3.NBT.1
• I can add and subtract numbers within 1000. 3.NBT.2

I Can Use Fractions to Help Me Understand Math
• I can show and understand that fractions are equal parts of a whole. 3.NF.1

• I can explain in words or pictures how two fractions can sometimes be equal. 3.NF.3
• I can compare fractions by reasoning about their size. 3.NF.3
