Third grade

Third grade is the term used for the third year of primary education in the US. It is the third school year after kindergarten. Students are usually 8 – 10 years old, depending on when their birthday occurs. Similar terms, for example Grade 3, are used in other countries (see below).

  • In mathematics, students are usually introduced to multiplication and division facts, place value to thousands or ten thousands, and estimation. Depending on the school, students may even begin to work on long division. Decimals (to tenths only) are sometimes introduced. Students begin to work on problem-solving skills working to explain their thinking in mathematical terms.
  • In science, third graders are taught basic physical sciences and chemistry. Weather and climate are also taught. The concept of atoms and molecules are common, the states of matter, and energy, along with basic elements such as oxygen, hydrogen, gold, zinc, and iron. Nutrition is also taught in third grade along with chemistry.
