Building Blocks of 3rd Grade Math

Grade 3

The school year moves quickly, with so many skills to cover and even more opportunities for learning gaps to emerge. But math is a building block subject: certain skills form the foundation necessary to master concepts in the future, so students can’t afford to miss, misunderstand, or forget them.

That’s why Building Blocks of 3rd Grade Math meets weekly to give learners the instruction and repetition they need to master building block skills permanently. Each week, an expert instructor will lead students through engaging demonstrations and exercises designed to fill in learning gaps and solidify understanding of the 3rd grade math skills–such as multiplication and division, perimeter and area, and fraction values–most essential for success the rest of the school year and beyond.
