Third grade math centers on multiplication and division facts, fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8, place value to 100,000, area and perimeter, telling time to the minute, and reading and making graphs. Fluency with facts to 10 × 10 is the year's biggest goal.
One stop per unit. Filled stops have practice activities today.

2Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to represent and compare whole numbers and understand relationships related to place value.0/4 practiced
(A) compose and decompose numbers up to 100,000 as a sum of so many ten thousands, so many thousands, so many hundreds, so many tens, and so many ones using objects, pictorial models, and numbers, including expanded notation as appropriate;
19 TAC 111.5(b)(2)(A)
(B) describe the mathematical relationships found in the base-10 place value system through the hundred thousands place;
19 TAC 111.5(b)(2)(B)
(C) represent a number on a number line as being between two consecutive multiples of 10; 100; 1,000; or 10,000 and use words to describe relative size of numbers in order to round whole numbers;

This is a preview. Members get the full 3rd grade Math course: every standard, every activity, progress by standard for each child, printables, and Ask Bacc.
Practice facts in short bursts, five minutes a day, not one long session.
Cook together: halves and fourths of a cup are fractions your child can see and taste.
Ask for estimates before exact answers. About how many? Close enough?
