Suggested Curriculum Guide for Grade 3 Math

Learning Target #3
Use part-whole and set models to represent, compare , and solve problems with fractions less
than, equal to, and greater than one whole.

B.a Concept
Ba6 Identify a fractional part
Ba7 Read, write, order, and
represent unit fractions
Bb15 Reasonableness of
answers

Mathematical Processes
A.1 Use reasoning and logic to:
Perceive patterns, Identify
relationships, formulate
questions, pose problems, make
conjectures, justify strategies
and test reasonableness of
results.
A.2 Communicate
mathematical ideas and
reasoning using the vocabulary
of mathematics in a variety of
ways, e.g., using words,
numbers, symbols , pictures,
charts , tables, diagrams, graphs,
and models.
A.3 Connect mathematics to the real world as well as within mathematics.

Learning Target #6
Read and interpret
customary and metric
measuring
instruments and
determine time to the
nearest minute and
elapsed time in real -world situations.

D.b Direct measurement
D.b.4 Read and interpret
measuring instruments to
determine the measurement of
objects with non-standard and
standard units to the nearest
centimeter, 1/4-inch.
D.b.7 Determine and compare
elapsed time in multiples of 15
minutes in problem-solving
situations.

Learning Target #8
Determine the
likelihood (e.g.,
more, less, or
equally likely) and
fairness of events,
and describe and
predict outcomes
and combinations of simple events .

E.b Probabililty
E.b.5 Determine if the occurrence of
future events are more, less, or equally
likely to occur
E.b.6 Design a fair and an unfair
spinner.
E.b.7 Predict the outcomes of a simple
event using words to describe
probability. Ex: Flipping a coin has a 1
out of 2 chance of getting a head.
E.b.8 Describe and determine the
number of combinations for choosing 2
out of 3 items. Ex: Red hat, blue jacket
and green jacket. What are the
combinations of wearing a hat and a
jacket?
