3rd grade Math

3rd grade 19 TAC §111.5 53 student expectations 19 activities

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.

Practice activities

🚀Place Value RocketNumbers to 100,000: expanded form, place value, number lines, and comparing.

🧱Fraction BuildersBuild fractions with strips, area models, and number lines.

🐸Number Line Jump: FractionsHalves to eighths: jump to the fraction, or name it.

🍕Fraction Pizza PartyHalves, thirds, fourths, sixths, eighths, and equivalent fractions.

💵Corner Store: Making ChangePay in dollars and cents, and count back change from $1 and $5.

🥾Thousand TrekAdd and subtract within 1,000, round to estimate, and solve two-step problems.

⏱️Money and MinutesCount coins and bills, and add or subtract minutes on a clock.

🌻Equal Groups GardenWhat multiplying and dividing mean: equal groups, arrays, sharing, and strip diagrams.

☄️Multiplication MeteorBeat the clock on your times tables.

🎈Balloon Pop: MultiplicationPop the multiplication and division facts that match the target.

🏁Division DashFast division facts.

✖️Memory Match: Multiplication FactsMatch each multiplication fact to its product. No two facts on a board share a product.

🐘Multiply BigTwo-digit times one-digit, even and odd by rule, and number pairs in a table.

🧩Times As Many, Missing Numbers, and Equal PartsReading 3 × 24 as "3 times as much as 24," finding the unknown in a multiplication or division equation, and cutting congruent shapes into equal-area parts named with unit fractions.

🔎Shape Sorter and Data DetectiveSort 2-D and 3-D figures, name quadrilaterals, and read frequency tables, dot plots, and bar graphs.

📐Fence It, Fill ItPerimeter goes around; area fills inside.

🥕Garden PlannerPlant beds to order: squares inside, fence around.

⚖️Pour and WeighWhen to measure how much a container holds versus how heavy something is, and which unit and tool to use.

💵Money SmartsHuman capital and income, scarcity and cost, planned vs. unplanned spending, credit and responsibility, reasons to save (including college), and money decisions.

How to help at home

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?
