From our teachers' playbook

Bigger numbers, braver mathematicians!

What do 3rd graders learn about numbers?

Third graders get comfortable with numbers into the thousands. They read and write them in standard form, word form and expanded form, like 4,629 = 4,000 + 600 + 20 + 9. They compare numbers with greater than and less than, and they round to the nearest ten or hundred, so 347 rounds to 350 or 300. Skip counting turns into multiplication, which is the big story of the year. The click happens when kids estimate an answer before solving and catch their own mistakes.

Our favorite ways to make numbers stick

Number sense is the foundation for everything in 3rd grade. These moves build it every day.

Show the place value thinking

Write 3,582 and talk through it: "The 5 sits in the hundreds place, so it's worth 500." Then point to each digit and have the class shout its value. A step-by-step lesson on screen is great for kids who need to see it twice.

Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

Sing the symbols

Greater than and less than mix kids up all the time. A song about the hungry alligator mouth gives them a hook to grab. Sing it, then flash two numbers and have kids make the mouth with their arms.

Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Number word flash round

Third graders need to spell number words for checks, word problems and tests. Flash a card with "seventy-four" and kids write the digits, then flip it. Two minutes a day and the tricky ones like "forty" finally stick.

Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Questions teachers and parents ask

What numbers should a 3rd grader know?

Most 3rd graders work with numbers up to 1,000 and often beyond. They read, write, compare and round these numbers, and use them to multiply and divide.

How do you teach rounding in 3rd grade?

Use a number line. Put 347 between 300 and 400 and ask which one it is closer to. Once kids can see it, the "5 or more, round up" rule makes sense.

How can I practice numbers with my 3rd grader at home?

Read numbers on price tags, addresses and scoreboards out loud. Ask "Which is bigger?" or "What is that rounded to the nearest ten?" Little real-life moments add up fast.

Why does number sense matter in 3rd grade?

Strong number sense helps kids estimate, spot mistakes and learn multiplication faster. It's the base for fractions and bigger math in 4th grade.
