3.MD.A.2 is focused on using the four operations to solve word problems involving masses of objects or liquid volumes that are in the same units.

100 / 100 = 1 1 gram = 1 paperclip 1 gram x 10 paper clips = 10 grams

This scale shows the mass, in grams, of 100 paper clips.Based on the mass of 100 paper clips, what is the mass of 10 paper clips?

100 / 100 = 1 1 gram = 1 paperclip 1 gram x 10 paper clips = 10 grams

Students in 3rd grade learn to solve a variety of problems involving measurement. This standard, 3.MD.A.2, is focused on using the four operations to solve word problems involving masses of objects or liquid volumes that are in the same units. Students also measure and estimate using the standard units of grams, kilograms, and liters. It is important for students to estimate and draw visual representations.

Many of the problems for 3.MD.A.2 should support the emphasis on multiplication and the mathematical practices of making sense of problems and representing them with equations, drawings, or diagrams.

Students need an understanding of units so they can solve problems. For example, students need to know that a liter is a unit of measurement for the volume of liquids. But they do not need to convert units yet.

Many of the problems for 3.MD.A.2 should support the Grade 3 emphasis on multiplication and the mathematical practices of making sense of problems and representing them with equations, drawings, or diagrams.

This standard is about the typical units of measurement: grams, kilograms and liters and milliliters.

Jim buys a soccer ball and a basketball at a sports store. The mass of the soccer ball is 843 grams and the mass of the basketball is 972 grams. In grams, how much greater is the mass of the basketball than the mass of the soccer ball?

One step word problems are the boundary for this standard.

Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem

It is important to incorporate all four operations in examples of word problem samples (multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction).

3.OA.D.8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

3.MD.B.3Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.

90% of leaders whose schools made major progress say ANet was key to their success

Most of us trust the experience of our peers more than statistics or unfamiliar organizations. So we're proud that the majority of our partners value ANet's support and would recommend us to their colleagues. At the end of last year, we asked partner school leaders to assess the progress their school had made on each of ANet’'s Leader Levers. 90% of those who said they had made major progress on all five thought their partnership with ANet was key to those gains.

ANet schools

Control schools

6 months of extra learning

Student learning over two years

Results Matter

As a nonprofit dedicated to educational equity, we need to know our work has an impact. And so do our 800+ partner schools and systems. Harvard University’s Center for Education Policy Research conducted a randomized control study funded by a prestigious i3 (Investing in Innovation) grant from the DOE. They found that when schools have the right basic conditions in place and partner with ANet, they achieve six months of additional learning over a two-year period.

4.NF.B.4.a is about students extending their understanding of multiplication to include fractions. It’s NOT about students performing multiplication with fractions but rather, about developing their conceptual understanding of a fraction as the numerator times the unit fraction with the same denominator.

ANet is a nonprofit dedicated to the idea that every child deserves an excellent education and the opportunities it provides. How do we work toward this vision? Through an integrated system of tools and training, ANet helps schools and districts boost student learning with great teaching that’s grounded in learning standards, informed by data, and built on the successful practices of educators around the country.

Then, to the power of all parentheses and numbers in the power, from left to right (from the beginning to the end of the example). Perform the remaining steps in the usual order

If the example contains a numeric or alphabetic expression in parentheses that needs to be raised to a power, first perform all actions inside the parentheses

Let's make sure the proportion is correct:

Basic Property of the Proportion

Now write down the proportion and draw a cross over the equal sign with a pencil By drawing a cross, it is much easier to make the right product (to fulfill the basic property of the proportion)

If the proportion is correct, that is, the ratios that make up the proportion are really equal, then the following is true for the proportion: To apply the rule correctly, we suggest that you memorize the (cross) "X" rule. Let's examine it with an example of the proportion:

4x growth

Tier 1

2x growth

+5 ELA +8 MATH

3X ELA 2X MATH

In Chicago, for the second year in a row, ANet partners’ average growth was almost 4 times that of non-ANet schools on the city's annual school report card.

in Eastern Massachusetts, ANet schools in economically disadvantaged communities significantly outpaced their peer schools.

Louisiana's DOE conducted the first independent review of instructional materials and gave ANet's interim assessments their top rating. We're the only organization so honored.

In New York, ANet schools made proficiency gains that were 3x more in ELA and 2x more in math than non-ANet schools in the state.

in Michigan and Ohio, Atet partners outpaced their peer schools in economically- disadvantaged communities by more than two times in ELA and Math.

3 years outpacing peers

in Colorado, ANet partner schools outpaced statewide gains in ELA and Math for the third year in a row.

ANet’s support helps schools boost student learning.

Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g. by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the problem, distinguish multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.

4.OA.A.2

Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 x 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each.

3.OA.A.1

Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.

3.NF.A.1

4.NF.B.4a

Understand a fraction a/b as a multiple of 1/b. For example, us a visual fraction model to represent 5/4 as the product 5 x (1/4), recording the conclusion by the equation 5/4 = 5 x (1/4).
