3rd Grade Math
Multiplication, division, and more complex problem-solving strategies for third grade students.
Practical Applications
Math in Sports and Games
Keeping Score and Counting Teams
Multiplication and division are everywhere in games and sports! You might need to count points, divide teams evenly, or keep track of laps.
Ways Sports Use Math
- Multiply to keep score (3 goals × 2 points each = 6 points).
- Divide to make teams or groups with equal players.
Playing Fair
Math helps you play fair and have fun—everyone gets a turn or a prize!
Examples
If each of 5 players scores 4 points, the team has \(5 \times 4 = 20\) points.
12 players are divided into 3 teams. Each team has \(12 \div 3 = 4\) players.
