Grade 3 Math – United States
Grade 3 Mathematics
This is the FutureSchool Grade 3 Mathematics course for students in the United States. It is matched to the Common Core State Standards, and to the state standards where a state sets its own. The course holds 53 lessons. Each lesson has a short video, worked examples and a printable worksheet. Lessons cover Basic mathematics part 1, Long multiplication, Basic mathematics part 2 and Fractions, and more. Your child takes an assessment first, and the course then builds a study plan that names the lessons to work on. A lesson can be repeated as often as your child wants.
