Third graders learn that multiplication is the same as repeated addition. Third graders are expected to memorize multiplication facts up to 10. They learn that when they divide, they separate a large group into smaller groups of equal size and that when they multiply they are combining smaller groups into one larger group. Third graders measure length, weight, and capacity. Third graders work with fractions.
Third graders are able to put fractions in size order.
They identify fractions using regions and sets. They describe and record fractional parts as they relate to the whole. Equivalent fractions are modeled. Third graders work with different shapes and learn the various parts of shapes. Third graders can draw and label squares, rectangles, polygons, and other geometric figures.
