Operatins and Algebraic Thinking Tpic 4 Tpic 5 Tpic 6 Tpic 7 Tpic 8 Represent and slve prblems invlving multiplicatin and divisin. OA.1 Interpret prducts f whle numbers (e.g. interpret 5 x 7 as the ttal number f bjects in 5 grups f 7 bjects each. Fr example, describe a cntext in which a ttal number f bjects can be expresses ad 5 x 7). OA.2 Interpret whle-number qutients f whle numbers, (e.g. interpret 56 8 as the number f bjects in each share when 56 bjects are partitined equally int 8 shares, r as a number f shares when 56 bjects are partitined int equal shares f 8 bjects. Fr example, describe a cntext in which a number f shares r a number f grups can be expressed as 56 8). OA.3 Use multiplicatin and divisin within 100 t slve wrd prblems in situatins invlving equal grups, arrays, and measurement quantities, (e.g. by using drawings and equatins with a symbl fr the unknwn number t represent the prblem). OA.4 Determine the unknwn whle number in a multiplicatin r divisin equatin relating three whle numbers. Understand prperties f multiplicatin and the relatinship between multiplicatin and divisin. OA.5 Apply prperties f peratins as strategies t multiply and divide. (Examples: If 6 x 4 = 24 is knwn, then 4 x 6 = 24 is als knwn - Cmmutative Prperty f Multiplicatin. 3 x 5 x 2 can be fund by 3 x 5 = 15, then 15 x 2 = 30, r by 5 x 2 = 10, then 3 x 10 = 30 - Assciative Prperty f Multiplicatin. Knwing that 8 x 5 = 4 and 8 x 2 = 16, ne can find 8 x 7 as 8 x (5 + 2) = (8 x 5) + (8 x 2) = 40 + 16 = 56 - Distributive Prperty). OA.6 Understand divisin as an unknwn-factr prblem.

Multiply and divide within 100. OA.7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relatinship between multiplicatin and divisin (e.g., knwing that 8 x 5 = 40, ne knws 40 5 = 8) r prperties f peratins. By the end f Grade 3, knw frm memry all prducts f tw ne-digit numbers. Slve prblems invlving the fur peratins, and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic.

NF.3d-Cmpare tw fractins with the same numeratr r the same denminatr by reasning abut their size. Recgnize that cmparisns are valid nly when the tw fractins refer t the same whle.
