Third Grade Mathematics


The order of operations, graphing, measurement, two- and three-digit multiplication and division, decimals, and fractions move third grade ahead in the area of mathematics. Problem-solving, mental math, and careful checking of possible solutions are all stressed as students progress through the school year.

Mastery of the “math facts” becomes a tool for students as they move to more complex problems. Parents often find that discussions of decimals and fractions occur in the kitchen and workshop as students apply their math in practical ways at home.
