Year 3 Maths brings bigger numbers, more complex operations and the start of formal reasoning. This is the year multiplication facts become essential, and our program helps your child master them with confidence.

Key Topics Covered:

Place value beyond 10,000, multiplication and division, unit fractions, money, time, angles as turns, and interpreting data from graphs.

Parent Tip:

Year 3 is a NAPLAN year, with tests in March. Our lessons build the reasoning NAPLAN looks for, without the stress of test prep.

Recall multiplication and division facts for 3, 4, 5 and 10

Solve multi-step addition and subtraction problems

Recognise unit fractions and combine fractions with the same denominator

Read the time to the nearest minute on analog and digital clocks

Interpret and create data displays, including column graphs

Use metric units to measure length, mass and capacity
