01Number: Place Value, Operations, and Estimation
Grade 3 number work centres on place value to 1000, comparing and ordering numbers, adding and subtracting with and without regrouping, and beginning multiplication and division. You should be able to read and write numbers in standard, expanded, and word form, identify the value of a digit, round to the nearest ten or hundred, and connect multiplication to repeated addition and to arrays.

Shape and space in Grade 3 covers naming and describing 2-D shapes (triangles, quadrilaterals including squares, rectangles, and parallelograms) by their sides and corners, and 3-D objects (cubes, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, spheres) by faces, edges, and vertices. You must measure length in centimetres and metres, find perimeter by adding side lengths, and understand area as the number of square units covering a surface.
