Tennessee Academic Standards
TN.3.OA. Operations and Algebraic Thinking (OA)
3.OA.B. Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division.
3.OA.B.5. Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. (Students need not use formal terms for these properties.) Examples: If 6 x 4 = 24 is known, then 4 x 6 = 24 is also known (Commutative property of multiplication). 3 x 5 x 2 can be solved by (3 x 5) x 2 or 3 x (5 x 2) (Associative property of multiplication). One way to find 8 x 7 is by using 8 x (5 + 2) = (8 x 5) + (8 x 2). By knowing that 8 x 5 = 40 and 8 x 2 = 16, then 8 x 7 = 40 + 16 = 56 (Distributive property of multiplication over addition).
TN.3.NBT. Number and Operations in Base Ten (NBT)
3.NBT.A. Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
3.NBT.A.2. Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
