3rd grade Math Games

Third grade is when multiplication and division arrive, along with the first serious work on fractions. The games on this page build equal groups and arrays, drill facts from the times tables, introduce fractions on a number line, and practise area and rounding. Rounds are short enough for a warm-up and challenging enough to hold interest. Each game has levels, so a student can begin with the easier tables and move up. Pick the topic that matches what your class is working on this week.
