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.
