3rd Math Curriculum Map
These units were written to build upon concepts from prior units, so later units contain tasks that depend upon the concepts addressed in earlier units.
All units include the Mathematical Practices and indicate skills to maintain. However, the progression of the units is at the discretion of districts.
Note: Mathematical standards are interwoven and should be addressed throughout the year in as many different units and tasks as possible in order to stress the natural connections that exist among mathematical topics.
Grades 3-5 Key: G= Geometry, MD=Measurement and Data, NBT= Number and Operations in Base Ten, NF = Number and Operations, Fractions, OA = Operations and Algebraic Thinking.

A range of algorithms will be used.

This standard is limited to problems posed with whole numbers and having whole number answers; students should know how to perform operations in the conventional order where there are no parenthesis to specify a particular order
