Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Arrange objects into equal sets to reflect a given multiplication expression (e.g., 3 × 1 as 3 groups of 1).
  • Use repeated addition/skip counting to find the total number of objects within an arrangement.
Representation:
  • Identify an arrangement of objects that matches a given multiplication expression.

Number: MAFS.3.OA.1.AP.1b Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14 Cluster: Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division. (Major Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
