M.3.6 | Outcomes and Components

3rd Grade

Course Purpose:

Students will use multiplication and division strategies and the relationship between multiplication and division to solve problems within 100.

Outcomes and Components:

M.3.6		Students will determine the area of two-dimensional shapes and apply concepts of area measurement.
Pacing Instruct/ Assess		Component Code		Component	Standard(s)
		M.3.6.1		Show that a unit square is a square with side lengths of 1 unit and find the area of a two-dimensional shape (rectangle or square) by covering it with square units without gaps.	3.MD.C.5.a 3.MD.C.5.b
		M.3.6.2		Use a unit square to measure area by counting unit squares including square cm., square m., square in., square ft., and improvised units.	3.MD.C.6 3.MD.C.5.b
		M.3.6.3		Find the area of a rectangle using square tiles and show that the area would be equivalent by multiplying the side lengths and apply to real world context.	3.MD.C.7.a
		M.3.6.4		Multiply side lengths of rectangles to find the area in mathematical and real world contexts.	3.MD.C.7.b
		M.3.6.5		Find the area of a shape by breaking it down (decomposing) into smaller shapes and then adding those areas to find the total area.	3.MD.C.7.d
		M.3.6.6		Use an area model with tiling to show that the distributive property can produce two areas that are equivalent (a and (b + c) is equivalent to a x b and a x c).	3.MD.C.7.c
