K12-MATHS-CLASS-3

This class follows the Common Core Standards for 3rdgrade mathematics. The course focuses on four critical

areas.

First, the students will begin to develop an understanding

of multiplication and division. They will learn these

skills through activities and problems of equal-sized

groups where multiplication finds an unknown product

and division finds an unknown factor. The students will

learn to solve multiplication and division problems

involving single-digit numbers.

Second, the students will begin to understand fractions,

especially fractions with numerator 1. They will begin to

see that fractions represent parts of a whole and that the

fractional part is relative to the size of the whole.

Third, the students will begin to understand area as a

property used to describe two-dimensional shapes. They

will learn to measure the area of a shape by counting how

many identical smaller shapes can fit inside of it.

Fourth, students learn to describe and compare twodimensional shapes. They connect their knowledge of

shapes to their work with fractions by describing the area

of part of a shape as a fraction of the whole shape.
