For 3rd grade the standard for fact fluency in the Biloxi Public School District is
15 correct facts per minute when the assessment is in written form. Facts
should be taught in an interrelated way which emphasizes the connection
between multiplication and division. Because division facts are more difficult
for students to master, teachers should not wait until students master
multiplication facts before beginning to work on division facts.

3.NBT.2 Fluently add and subtract within 1,000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value,
properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
*We want students entering the 4th grade with a deep understanding of the four operations (+, -, x, and ÷)*
Students should be flexible in their number sense and be able to apply their knowledge to
mathematical problems and situations.
Students should leave 3rd grade with a strong foundation of the relationship between multiplication
and division.
