AB Grade 3 Math Curriculum
Give your child the support they need to keep up with Alberta's Grade 3 math program. Every strand is covered with clear lessons and plenty of practice problems matched to what their class is teaching.
About Grade 3 Alberta math
Alberta follows the Alberta Programs of Study, organized around number sense, operations, patterns, geometry, measurement, and data. In Grade 3, students build place value understanding up to the thousands, develop multiplication and division concepts within 100, explore fractions on a number line, work with equations containing unknowns, investigate polygon properties, measure length and perimeter, tell time, and collect and represent data. StudyPug provides step-by-step lessons and practice problems covering every one of these strands.
- Strands: Number, Operations, Fractions, Equations, Geometry, Measurement, Angles, Patterns, Time, and Data
- Step-by-step lessons for every Grade 3 Alberta math topic
- Practice problems and worked examples aligned to the Alberta Programs of Study
- Video lessons for math concepts so students can review at their own pace

AB Grade 3 Math Topics
- Number and Place Value: Identifying place value of digits, relating adjacent place values, expressing numbers in words and numerals, rounding, comparing and ordering natural numbers, and counting coin and dollar values including French and English monetary representations.
- Addition and Subtraction: Relating two-digit strategies to three-digit problems, modelling regrouping by place value, applying standard algorithms, estimating sums and differences, and solving word problems.
- Multiplication and Division: Composing products with equal groups, relating multiplication to repeated addition and skip counting, modelling arrays, multiplying and dividing within 100, using inverse operations, explaining remainders, and recalling fact families.
- Fractions: Modelling fractions of quantities, lengths, and shapes, identifying numerator and denominator, placing fractions on a number line, and comparing fractions with the same denominator or numerator using benchmarks.
- Equations: Writing equations representing equality, modelling equations with unknowns, and determining missing values to solve problems.
- Geometry: Investigating side and vertex relationships in polygons, describing geometric properties, and sorting and classifying polygons through transformations.
- Measurement and Perimeter: Relating metric and imperial units, measuring lengths, choosing appropriate units, identifying referents, approximating measurements, and determining perimeter.
- Angles: Recognizing angles in surroundings and as motion, comparing angles directly and indirectly, estimating angle size, and identifying 90-degree referents.
- Patterns and Sequences: Recognizing familiar sequences, describing position using ordinals, differentiating finite and infinite sequences, and determining missing terms.
- Time: Relating time unit relationships, telling time using analog and digital clocks, expressing time in a.m. or p.m., and using the 24-hour cycle.
- Data: Formulating statistical questions, collecting data, representing data in dot plots and bar graphs, and examining First Nations, Metis, and Inuit data representations.
How StudyPug Helps Alberta Grade 3 Math Students
When your child gets stuck on a Grade 3 math concept - whether it is regrouping in three-digit subtraction or placing fractions on a number line - they can find that exact topic on StudyPug and work through a clear, step-by-step video lesson at their own pace. If you are looking for broad grade 3 math help, StudyPug organizes everything by strand so nothing is missed.
After watching a lesson, students move directly into practice problems with worked examples that match what Alberta teachers are covering in class. A quick grade 3 math quiz can also help you spot which strands need more attention before your child falls behind.
Aligned to Alberta Grade 3 Math Curriculum
Every lesson on StudyPug is mapped to the Alberta Programs of Study for Grade 3 math, covering the same strands - number, operations, fractions, geometry, measurement, patterns, time, and data - that Alberta students work through in school. That alignment means your child is always practicing content that matches what their teacher has assigned, not a generic curriculum that may not fit.
