What math looks like in 3rd grade

Third grade math is the multiplication year. Facts move to recall, division arrives as its inverse, fractions appear as numbers rather than pictures, and area connects arithmetic to geometry.

Third grade is the pivot from learning to read to reading to learn, and from counting to multiplying. It is the grade where gaps from earlier years become visible.
