Strand: OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING (3.OA)

Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division within 100 (Standards 3.OA.1-4 and Standard 3.OA.7). They demonstrate understanding of the properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division (Standards 3.OA.5-6). Students use the four operations to identify and explain patterns in arithmetic (Standards 3.OA.8-9).

Standard 3.OA.1

Interpret products of whole numbers, such as interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.
