About this class
About Year 3 mathematics
In Year 3, learners following the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics use written methods for addition and subtraction, learn multiplication facts to 10 × 10, divide, compare fractions, and measure time and perimeter. Boldungu breaks each topic into short sets of interactive questions so children can practise one skill at a time and come back to anything that needs more work.
