In grade 3, instructional time will emphasize four areas:
(1) adding and subtracting multi-digit whole numbers, including using a standard algorithm;
(2) building an understanding of multiplication and division, the relationship between them and the connection to area of rectangles;
(3) developing an understanding of fractions and
(4) extending geometric reasoning to lines and attributes of quadrilaterals.
