| State | Program | Grade 3 codes |
|---|---|---|
| Georgia | K-12 Mathematics Standards | 3.NR.4.1 unit fractions; nonunit fractions from unit copies 3.NR.4.2 comparing two unit fractions 3.NR.4.3 representing fractions in multiple ways, incl. number line 3.NR.4.4 recognizing and generating equivalent fractions |
| Florida | B.E.S.T. Standards | MA.3.FR.1.1 unit fractions as one part of n equal parts MA.3.FR.1.2 nonunit fractions as sums of unit fractions MA.3.FR.1.3 reading and writing fractions in standard and word forms MA.3.FR.2.1 comparing fractions with same numerator or same denominator MA.3.FR.2.2 identifying equivalent fractions |
| Alabama | Course of Study | 2019 AL COS: Mathematics, Grade 3, Standard 13 unit fractions as one part of equally partitioned area/length models 2019 AL COS: Mathematics, Grade 3, Standard 14 fractions as numbers on the number line 2019 AL COS: Mathematics, Grade 3, Standard 15 equivalence and comparison of fractions via visual models and number lines |
| Kentucky | Academic Standards | KY.3.NF.1 unit and nonunit fractions from partitioned wholes KY.3.NF.2 fractions as numbers on the number line KY.3.NF.3 equivalence and comparison of fractions KY.3.G.2 partitioning shapes into equal areas; each part a unit fraction of the whole |
Georgia: Grade 3 denominators limited to 2, 3, 4, 6, 8; packet uses fifths on Days 1, 2, 3, 5 (partial). GA Grade 3 compares unit fractions only, so Day 5 nonunit comparisons extend beyond Grade 3 (partial).
Florida: MA.3.FR.2.2 partially addresses: FL clarification 2 excludes generating equivalent fractions, but packet Day 4 Section 2 has students generate the missing name. Denominators limited to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12; all packet denominators in range.
Alabama: Denominators limited to 2, 3, 4, 6, 8; packet uses fifths on Days 1, 2, 3, 5 (partial).
Kentucky: Denominators limited to 2, 3, 4, 6, 8; partitioned parts limited to halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, eighths. Packet uses fifths on Days 1, 2, 3, 5 (partial).
