3rd grade Instructional Guide

3rd Grade Math Scope & Sequence c.Use tiling to show in a concrete case that the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths a and b + c is the sum of a x b and a x c . Use area models to represent the distributive property in mathematical reasoning. d. Recognize area as additive. Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real-world problems.

End of Unit Competency

By the end of Topic 6 students will be able to find the area of a shape and explain how the area connects to multiplication and addition. Language Functions and Features: Describe data and/or steps to solve problems using: ●​ Mathematical terms ( area, perimeter, square unit, square, Distributive Property, width, length, side ) ●​ Past tense doing verbs ( counted, broke apart ) to recount steps ●​ Visuals ( diagrams, designs ) to support approach solution, and/or extract information

●​ Connectors to order steps ( first, next, then ) and indicate reasons ( because, so, that means, as a result ) ●​ Declarative statements to state conclusion ( The area of the design is 21 square inches because… )
