The NYS Mathematics Curriculum is designed to provide students with
conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and problem solving skills. It
contains five content strands: number sense and operations, algebra,
geometry, measurement, and probability and statistics. It also includes five
process strands: problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication,
connections, and representation. These strands are addressed at every grade
level through the study of specific mathematical concepts and skills. In 3rd
grade students review and extend their skills with addition and subtraction.
A major focus is the introduction of addition & subtraction. Below are the
