3rd Grade Math
Multiplication, division, and more complex problem-solving strategies for third grade students.
Basic Concepts
Math Facts and Patterns
What Are Math Facts?
Math facts are simple multiplication and division problems you should know quickly, like \(2 \times 3 = 6\) or \(15 \div 5 = 3\).
Patterns in Multiplication and Division
Learning patterns can make math easier!
- Commutative Property: \(3 \times 4 = 4 \times 3\)
- Division and Multiplication are Related: If \(5 \times 6 = 30\), then \(30 \div 5 = 6\) and \(30 \div 6 = 5\).
- Zero and One: Any number times 0 is 0; any number times 1 is itself.
Why Know Math Facts?
Quick recall helps you solve bigger problems faster and with more confidence.
Examples
Knowing \(7 \times 8 = 56\) helps you solve \(56 \div 8 = 7\) quickly.
Multiplying by 0, like \(0 \times 9 = 0\), is always zero.
In a Nutshell
Math facts and patterns help make multiplication and division much easier and faster.
