Division
Multiplication and division receive major attention in third grade. It is very important for
students to understand how these operations are closely related.
Fair shares is familiar well before working with division symbols. E.g. 20 marbles
shared fairly among 4 children means each child gets the same number (5). The number
sentence 20 4 = 5 represents the fair share. The related multiplication is 4 5 = 20.
This sharing mat shows how 20 can be divided into four groups of 5.
Because multiplication and division are so closely related, students use what they know
about multiplication facts when they think about division. This strategy is emphasized
for tens and ves facts.
To solve a division fact it is often easier to think of the related multiplication fact.

Glossary
In this lesson, students are introduced to the tens division facts by thinking about
the related tens multiplication facts.
In Module 3, students focused on doubling for twos multiplication facts and doubling
doubling for fours multiplication facts. Now students think about twos and fours division
facts as halving and halving halving.

Geometry
In Grades K2, students have been introduced to a variety of two-dimensional
geometric shapes, including various straight-sided gures (polygons), and
especially four-sided polygons (quadrilaterals).
In this module, students explore the similarities and dierences of four-sided gures
and use tree diagrams to illustrate relationships among various types of quadrilaterals.

Glossary
A rhombus is any four-sided
gure with all sides the
same length.
Exploring Quadrilaterals
A rectangle is a quadrilateral
with four right angles, also
known as a non-square
rectangle. Squares (also
known as square rectangles)
are special rectangles with all
sides the same size.

In this lesson, students examine shapes whose properties allow them to belong
to more than one shape family.
A square is a special
rhombus with four right
angles.
