Learning Expectations
3rd Grade Math
The third grade is a student's first year in taking the math FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Assesment Test), making it an important year for a student to gauge his/her mathematical ability. Students also show more independence because of the new sophisticated mathematical skills they have to learn, as well as the regular homework assignments handed out by teachers at this stage.
