This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: Tehya and Kenneth are trying to figure out which number could be placed in the box to make this equation true. Tehya insists that 12 is the only number...

In this unit, 3rd graders practice making sense of one and two step number stories involving all four operations.  Practice may include diagrams, arrays, pictures, words, and number models.  Students will create, share, compare, and interpret representations, students will improve their problem-solving strategies, and students will firmly grasp that problems can be solved in more than one way.

SPECIFIC TO MY 3RD GRADE CLASSROOM:  There will be a strong focus on representing multiplication and division in this unit.

In this unit, children learn how to use a variety of math tools/strategies to solve problems. This unit lays the foundation for developing multiplication and division strategies.
