Access Point #: MAFS.3.OA.1.AP.2bArchived Access Point

Use objects to model division situations involving up to five groups, with up to five objects in each group, and interpret the results.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Use manipulatives to model a division situation, e.g., 15 ÷ 3 as the number of objects in each set when 15 objects are divided equally into 3 sets, or as a number of sets when 15 objects are divided into equal sets of 3 objects each.
  • Count the number of objects in each set or count the number of sets created.
Representation:
  • Identify an arrangement of objects that matches a given division situation.
  • Identify the following vocabulary and symbols: division (÷), equal (=)

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.
