UNIT 2 STANDARDS:
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division.
MGSE3.OA.1 Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 x 7.
MGSE3.OA.2 Interpret whole number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares (How many in each group?), or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each (How many groups can you make?). For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.
MGSE3.OA.3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.3 MGSE3.OA.4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers using the inverse relationship of multiplication and division. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations, 8 × ? = 48, 5 = □ ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?. Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division. MGSE3.OA.5. Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide.4 Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.) Use arrays, area models, and manipulatives to develop understanding of properties.
MGSE3.OA.6. Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8. Conversations should also include connections between division and subtraction.
MGSE3.OA.7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
OVERVIEW:
In this unit, students will:
• begin to understand the concepts of multiplication and division • learn the basic facts of multiplication and their related division facts
• apply properties of operations (commutative, associative, and distributive) as strategies to multiply and divide
• understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8.
• fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the patterns and relationships between multiplication and division
• understand multiplication and division as inverse operations • solve problems and explain their processes of solving division problems that can also be represented as unknown factor multiplication problems.
• represent and interpret data
Multiplication and division are commonly taught separately. However, it is very important to combine the two shortly after multiplication has been introduced. This will help the students to see the connection between the two.” (Van de Walle and Lovin, Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics 3-5, p. 60)
Students develop an understanding of the meanings of multiplication and division of whole numbers through activities and problems involving equal-sized groups, arrays, and area models; multiplication is finding an unknown product, and division is finding an unknown factor in these situations. For equal-sized group situations, division can require finding the unknown number of groups or the unknown group size.
Mathematically proficient students communicate precisely by engaging in discussion about their reasoning using appropriate mathematical language. The terms students should learn to use with increasing precision during this cluster are: operation, multiply, divide, factor, product, quotient, strategies, and properties-rules about how numbers work.
