3rd grade math

United States · ages 8–9

Multiplication and division within 100 — the year the times tables have to become automatic.

What is expected

  • Multiply and divide within 100 fluently
  • Know all products of two one-digit numbers from memory by the end of the year
  • Understand division as an unknown-factor problem
  • Solve two-step word problems using the four operations

A summary of typical expectations, not an official curriculum document. Your child’s school is the authority on what they are covering.

Practise it

Number facts are the part that has to be automatic — everything else in the year is slower and harder without them.
