Dear Grade 3 Parents,
We will be starting our new Unit 4 in Math: Multiplication and Area when we come back
In January 2018.
In January 2018.
Memorization is NOT a goal in the case of vocabulary words and multiplication facts.
We encourage you to discuss the ideas and concepts through hands-on activities
and conversations (in the home language)
about how we use math in our daily lives.

about how we use math in our daily lives.
In this unit, students will:
- Understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and addition.
- Find the area of a rectangle with whole- number side lengths by tiling it.
- Multiply side lengths to find areas of rectangles with whole-number side lengths
- in context of solving real world and mathematical problems.
- Construct and analyze area models with the same product.
- Describe and extend numeric patterns.
- Determine addition and multiplication patterns.
- Understand the commutative property’s relationship to area.
- Create arrays and area models to find different ways to decompose a product.
- Use arrays and area models to develop understanding of the distributive property.
- Solve problems involving one and two steps and represent these problems using
- equations
- with letters “n” or “x” representing the unknown quantity.
- Find area of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and
- adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts.
