Math Benchmark November 4th-8th

The benchmark will cover content taught in the first quarter, with a focus on operations, number patterns, and data representation.

Key Standards Covered

NC.3.OA.1 - Understanding Multiplication

• What it means:
• Students will learn that multiplication is a way to add equal groups together. For example, if there are 3 groups of 4 apples, students should recognize that this is 3 x 4 = 12 apples.
• How to support at home: Practice grouping objects and skip counting (2s, 5s, 10s).

NC.3.OA.2 - Understanding Division as Sharing

• What it means:
• Division is introduced as an equal sharing of items into groups. For instance, dividing 12 apples into 4 groups means each group will get 3 apples.
• How to support at home: Work on sharing objects equally and using real-life examples (sharing toys, food, etc.).

​

20

NC.3.OA.9 - Identifying Patterns in Arithmetic

• What it means:
• Students will explore number patterns and understand the properties of operations. For example, noticing that multiplying by 2 always results in an even number.
• How to support at home: Encourage your child to look for patterns in their addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division work.

NC.3.NBT.2 - Addition and Subtraction within 1,000

• What it means:
• Students will practice adding and subtracting numbers within 1,000 using strategies like regrouping and mental math.
• How to support at home: Provide practice problems, encourage estimation, and use place value strategies.

NC.3.MD.3 - Drawing and Interpreting Bar Graphs

• What it means:
• Students will learn to draw bar graphs and interpret data. They will answer questions like “How many more?” or “How many in total?” based on the graphs.
• How to support at home: Work with your child on interpreting simple graphs in everyday contexts (sports stats, weather charts, etc.).

List of math resources

How to Support Your Child at Home

• Encourage students to show their work and explain their thinking.
• Games & Apps: Engage with math through interactive games or educational apps focusing on multiplication, division, and data representation.
• Daily Practice: A few minutes of daily practice can significantly improve fluency in math operations and problem-solving.
• Study and become fluent with multiplication facts.
