3rd Grade Math Curriculum

In the third grade, students learn more challenging math concepts and begin to work with more difficult problems. The curriculum builds on the foundation established in the earlier grades and prepares students for the challenges of fourth grade math. By the end of the third grade, students should be able to:

• add and subtract three-digit numbers
• multiply and divide one-digit numbers

• add and subtract fractions with common denominators
• identify and describe basic geometric shapes
