MAP 3rd Grade Math

A comprehensive math course designed for third grade students to build foundational skills in numbers, operations, geometry, and data analysis.

Advanced Topics

Shapes, Area, and Perimeter

Exploring Shapes

Geometry is the study of shapes! In third grade, you'll discover 2D shapes like squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles.

Measuring Perimeter

Perimeter is the distance around a shape. To find it, add up the lengths of all the sides.

Measuring Area

Area tells how much space is inside a shape. For rectangles, use the formula: \( \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \).

Real-World Geometry

Use perimeter to build a fence, and area to figure out how much carpet you need for your room.

Key Formula

\[Area = length \times width\]

Examples

  • Find the perimeter of a rectangle with sides 4 cm and 6 cm.

  • Calculate the area of a rectangle that is 5 m long and 3 m wide.

In a Nutshell

Learn about shapes and how to measure their perimeter and area.
