SOM - In-person - Grade 2 - Grade 6

The Grade 3 curriculum continues to lay the foundation for mathematical thinking in the early years during the weekly 1.5-hour classes. In this grade, students deepen their understanding of the Relocation Property and begin to solve more complex problems in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Additionally, students learn important topics such as averages and fractions. For example, students learn to simplify fractions with prime factors, compare fractions with common denominators, understand fractions as division statements, and solve problems with zeros in fractions. In this grade, students participate in at least two math contests that challenge them to think critically and to problem solve with resilience. Grade 3 students write tests throughout the year, as well as the Spirit of Math International Contest during class time, with an exam at the end of the year. The overall challenging curriculum inspires confidence in our Grade 3 students.
