Number and Operations

Understand and use number notation and place value:
   N.ME.03.01 Read and write numbers to 10,000 in both numerals and words, and relate them to the quantities they represent, e.g., relate numeral or written word to a display of dots or objects. (Place Value )
   N.ME.03.02 Recognize and use expanded notation for numbers using place value to 10,000s place, e.g., 2,517 is 2 thousands, 5 hundreds, 1 ten, and 7 ones; 4 hundreds and 2 ones is 402; identify the place value of a digit in a number, e.g., in 3,241, 2 is in the hundreds place. (Place Value )
   N.ME.03.03 Compare and order numbers up to 10,000. (Number Comparison , Order Numbers to 1000 , Order Numbers )

Count in steps, and understand even and odd numbers:
   N.ME.03.04 Count orally by 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's starting with 0, making the connection between repeated addition and multiplication. (Understanding Multiplication )
   N.ME.03.05 Know that even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8; name a whole number quantity that can be shared in two equal groups or grouped into pairs with no remainders; recognize even numbers as multiples of 2. Know that odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. Work with patterns involving even and odd numbers. (Odd or Even )

Add and subtract whole numbers:
   N.FL.03.06 Add and subtract fluently two numbers: up to and including two-digit numbers with regrouping and up to four-digit numbers without regrouping. (Long Addition to 1000 , Basic Addition to 1000 , Basic Subtraction to 1000 , Long Subtraction to 1000 )
   N.FL.03.07 Estimate the sum and difference of two numbers with three digits (sums up to 1000), and judge reasonableness of estimates.
   N.FL.03.08 Use mental strategies to fluently add and subtract two-digit numbers.

Multiply and divide whole numbers:
   N.MR.03.09 Use multiplication and division fact families to understand the inverse relationship of these two operations, e.g., because 3 x 8 = 24, we know that 24 ÷ 8 = 3 or 24 ÷ 3 = 8; express a multiplication statement as an equivalent division statement. (Inverse Equations 2 )
   N.MR.03.10 Recognize situations that can be solved using multiplication and division including finding "How many groups?" and "How many in a group?" and write mathematical statements for those situations. (Arithmetic Word Problems , Basic Word Problems 2 )
   N.FL.03.11 Find products fluently up to 10 x 10; find related quotients using multiplication and division relationships. (Beginner Multiplication , Fast Multiplication , Fast Multiplication Reverse , Multiplication Facts Strategies , Fast Division )
   N.MR.03.12 Find solutions to open sentences, such as 7 x [] = 42 or 12 ÷ [] = 4, using the inverse relationship between multiplication and division. (Missing Factor )
   N.FL.03.13 Mentally calculate simple products and quotients: up to a three-digit number by a one-digit number involving multiples of 10, e.g., 500 x 6, or 400 ÷ 8. (Multiplication By One Digit , Long Division By One Digit )
   N.MR.03.14 Solve simple division problems involving remainders, viewing remainder as the "number left over" (less than the divisor), e.g., 4 children per group; we have 25 children; there are 6 groups with 1 child left over; interpret based on problem context. (Division with Remainders , Word Problems With Remainders )

Problem solving with whole numbers:
   N.MR.03.15 Given problems that use any one of the four operations with appropriate numbers, represent with objects, words, (including "product" and "quotient"), and mathematical statements; solve. (Basic Word Problems , Arithmetic Word Problems , Basic Word Problems 2 )

Understand simple fractions, relation to the whole, and addition and subtraction of fractions:
   N.ME.03.16 Understand that fractions may represent a portion of a whole unit that has been partitioned into parts of equal area or length; use the terms "numerator" and "denominator." (Fraction Pictures )
   N.ME.03.17 Recognize, name and use equivalent fractions with denominators 2, 4, and 8, using strips as area models.
   N.ME.03.18 Place fractions with denominators of 2, 4, and 8 on the number line; relate the number line to a ruler; compare and order up to three fractions with denominators 2, 4, and 8.
   N.ME.03.19 Understand that any fraction can be written as a sum of unit fractions, e.g., 3/4 = 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4.
   N.MR.03.20 Recognize that addition and subtraction of fractions with equal denominators can be modeled by joining or taking away segments on the number line.

Understand simple decimal fractions in relation to money:
   N.ME.03.21 Understand the meaning of $0.50 and $0.25 related to money, e.g., $1.00 shared by two people means $1.00 ÷ 2 = 1/2 dollar = $0.50.

   M.UN.03.03 Understand relationships between sizes of standard units, e.g., feet and inches, meters and centimeters.
   M.UN.03.04 Know benchmark temperatures such as freezing (32°F, 0°C); boiling (212°F, 100°C); and compare temperatures to these, e.g., cooler, warmer.
