New Jersey 3rd Grade Math: What Students Learn

3rd grade is a big year for math in New Jersey. Students move from basic addition and subtraction into multiplication, division, and fractions for the first time. These skills lay the groundwork for everything that comes in 4th grade and beyond. StudyPug covers every topic in the New Jersey 3rd grade math curriculum with clear video lessons and plenty of practice.

Multiplication and Division

A large part of 3rd grade math focuses on understanding and using multiplication and division. New Jersey students learn to interpret products of whole numbers, solve word problems using multiplication and division within 100, and apply properties of operations as strategies. They also work toward fluently multiplying and dividing within 100 — a key skill tested on the NJSLA-M.

Fractions

3rd graders are introduced to fractions for the first time. Students learn what a fraction means as a part of a whole, how to place fractions on a number line, and how to compare fractions by reasoning about their size. StudyPug breaks these concepts into short, easy-to-follow lessons that make fractions less confusing.

Measurement, Data, and Geometry

New Jersey 3rd graders also work on telling time to the nearest minute, measuring liquid volumes and mass, drawing picture graphs and bar graphs, and understanding area and perimeter. These topics appear across everyday life and on the NJSLA-M assessment.

  • Tell and write time to the nearest minute
  • Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses
  • Draw scaled picture graphs and bar graphs
  • Recognize area and measure using unit squares
  • Solve problems involving perimeters of polygons
