Mathematics
Third graders focus on fact families in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They continue developing strategies for multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. Other skills include understanding large numbers in addition to working with small numbers using equivalent fractions and decimals (to the hundredths). They continue the study money, fractions, graphing, calculator skills, telling time, and geometry.
Practical application of measurement skills includes linear, weight, and capacity with customary and metric units. Students perform probability experiments that provide information for analyzing data and predicting outcomes.
