About this class

About Primary Three mathematics

In Primary 3 (P3), learners following the NCDC primary curriculum use written methods for addition and subtraction, learn multiplication facts to 10 × 10, divide, compare fractions, and measure time and perimeter. It is part of lower primary (P1–P3), where learning is organised by themes. 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.
