About this class
About Year 3 mathematics
In Year 3, learners following the New Zealand Curriculum extend place value towards 1,000, add and subtract two-digit numbers, learn the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, find simple fractions and measure with standard units. 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.
