quantities, and place value in whole numbers up to
1,000. They estimate, calculate, and solve problems
involving addition and subtraction of two-and
three-digit numbers and solve simple problems involving
multiplication and division. Students understand that
fractions and decimals may refer to parts of a set and
parts of a whole. Students solve problems by
representing, adding, and subtracting amounts of money.
They use estimation strategies in computation and
problem solving that involve numbers to the thousands
place.
Algebra and Functions:
Students model, represent, and interpret number
relationships to create and solve problems involving
addition and subtraction
3rd Grade:
