Class 3 Mathematics
This curriculum focuses on developing a deep conceptual understanding of place value, operational fluency, and spatial reasoning. Students transition from concrete manipulation to abstract representation while applying mathematical logic to real world contexts.
The World of Three Digit Numbers
Students explore the power of place value by expanding their number sense up to 999 through patterns and estimation.
Understanding how the position of a digit determines its total value within a three digit number.
Identifying and extending numerical patterns to build skip counting skills and mental agility.
Using logical reasoning to rank quantities and understand the relative size of numbers.
Additive Thinking and Regrouping
Moving beyond basic counting to master addition and subtraction through decomposition and mental strategies.
Developing a conceptual understanding of carrying over and borrowing by bundling units.
Using compensation and decomposition to solve problems without paper and pencil.
Exploring how addition and subtraction undo each other to check for accuracy.
Multiplication as Scaling
Developing the concept of multiplication through repeated addition, arrays, and equal groups.
Visualizing multiplication as rows and columns or sets of identical items.
Investigating the unique properties of multiplying by zero and one.
Applying multiplication to solve real world problems involving rate and cost.
Geometry and Spatial Visualization
Identifying shapes in the environment and understanding their properties through construction and observation.
Classifying polygons based on sides, corners, and straight or curved lines.
Recognizing faces, edges, and vertices in common objects like cubes and spheres.
Exploring balance and reflection in nature and man made designs.
Measuring Our World
Using standard and non standard units to quantify length, weight, and capacity.
Understanding the need for standard units like centimeters and meters for consistent measurement.
Estimating and measuring how heavy objects are using balances and weights.
Exploring how much liquid a container can hold using liters and milliliters.
Time and Data Management
Learning to read the clock, interpret calendars, and represent information through simple charts.
Understanding hours and minutes and the relationship between the hands on a clock.
Organizing days, weeks, and months to track events and durations.
Collecting information and creating pictographs or tally charts to find answers.
