Strand: NUMBER AND OPERATIONS IN BASE TEN (3.NBT)

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic. A range of algorithms may be used (Standards 3.NBT.1-3).

Standard 3.NBT.2

Fluently add and subtract within 1,000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

• Carlos and Sara Present Their Solutions
  This Teaching Channel video shows two students' responses to mental math and student-led solution. (5 minutes)
• Classroom Supplies
  In this task students are asked to decide how to spend $1,000 on supplies and materials for their classroom; students will have to make choices and be careful not to exceed the budget. Students are asked to decide which supplies will benefit the class the most and will compare their choices with other students' choices.
• Grade 3 Math Module 2: Place Value and Problem Solving with Units of Measure (EngageNY)
  Module 2 uses place value to unify measurement, rounding skills, and the standard algorithms for addition and subtraction. The module begins with plenty of hands-on experience using a variety of tools to build practical measurement skills and conceptual understanding of metric and time units. Estimation naturally surfaces through application; this transitions students into rounding. In the modules final topics students round to assess whether or not their solutions to problems solved using the standard algorithms are reasonable.
• Grade 3 Unit 1: Number and Operations in Base Ten (Georgia Standards)
  In this unit, students will investigate, understand, and use place value to manipulate numbers. Build on understanding of place value to round whole numbers. Continue to develop understanding of addition and subtraction and use strategies and properties to do so proficiently and fluently. Draw picture graphs with symbols that represent more than one object. Create bar graphs with intervals greater than one and use graphs and information from data to ask questions that require students to compare quantities and use mathematical concepts and skills.
• Mental Math
  This video and lesson plan will help students use the strategies of decomposing, jumps of ten, and splitting. (6 minutes)
