Grade 3 math, age 8 to 9

In Grade 3, students develop an understanding of multiplication and division within 100 through arrays, equal groups, and related fact families. They build a foundational concept of fractions as numbers on a number line and work with fraction equivalence and comparison. Measurement focuses on calculating area and perimeter of plane figures, telling time to the nearest minute, and interpreting scaled bar and picture graphs.
