Building
upon knowledge and skills gained in preceding
grades,
by the end of Grade 3, students will:
Standard 4.3
(Patterns
and Algebra) All students will represent and
analyze relationships among variable quantities
and solve problems involving patterns, functions,
and algebraic concepts and processes.
Standard 4.3.3.A
Patterns
Standard 4.3.3.A.1
Recognize,
describe, extend, and create patterns.
· Descriptions using words and number sentences/expressions
· Whole number patterns that grow or shrink as a result of repeatedly
adding, subtracting, multiplying by, or dividing by a fixed number (e.g., 5,
8, 11,...or 800, 400, 200,...)
Standard 4.3.3.B
Functions
and Relationships
Standard 4.3.3.B.1
Use
concrete and pictorial models to explore the
basic concept of a function.
Standard 4.3.3.B.2
Input/output
tables, T-charts
Standard 4.3.3.C
Modeling
Standard 4.3.3.C.1
Recognize
and describe change in quantities.
· Graphs representing change over time (e.g., temperature, height)
Standard 4.3.3.C.2
Construct
and solve simple open sentences involving addition
or subtraction (e.g., 3 + 6 = __,
n = 15 – 3, 3 + __ = 3, 16 – c =
7).
Standard 4.3.3.D
Procedures
Standard 4.3.3.D.1
Understand
and apply the properties of operations and
numbers.
· Commutative (e.g., 3 x 7 = 7 x 3)
· Identity element for multiplication is 1 (e.g., 1 x 8 = 8)
· Any number multiplied by zero is zero
Standard 4.3.3.D.2
Understand
and use the concepts of equals, less than,
and greater than to describe relations between
numbers.
· Symbols ( = , < , > )
