3.1.1: : Students analyze attributes of shapes to develop generalizations about their properties.

3.GM.1: : Understand that quadrilaterals in different categories may share attributes; those attributes (e.g., four equivalent sides) can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals) or subcategory (e.g., rhombus and square).

3.GM.2: : Identify perpendicular and parallel lines, as well as right angles in two-dimensional shapes and real-world surroundings or objects.

3.GM.3: : Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, identifying and/or drawing examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.

3.3.1: : Students calculate the area of rectangles and liquid volume.

3.GM.5: : Describe area as the number of unit squares that cover a plane figure without gaps and overlaps.

3.GM.6: : Find the area of a rectangle with whole number side lengths by modeling with unit squares and multiplying the side lengths to show the results are the same.

3.GM.7: : Multiply side lengths to find areas of rectangles with whole number side lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

3.GM.8: : Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units.

3.GM.9: : Solve one-step real-world problems involving liquid volumes and masses of objects in the same units, using all four operations.

3.4: : Time
