Common Core Standards Covered

3.OA.A.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 _ 7.
3.OA.A.2
Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 Ö 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 Ö 8.
3.OA.A.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.1
3.OA.A.4
Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 _ ? = 48, 5 = _ Ö 3, 6 _ 6 = ?
