Welcome to Third Grade Math with Confidence! This class, with permission from the author, uses the Third Grade Math with Confidence curriculum written by Kate Snow. Third Grade Math with Confidence is a complete Third-grade math curriculum that will give your learner a solid foundation in math. It is playful, hands-on, and fun with thorough coverage of all the Third grade skills your learner needs to become capable and confident in math. 

These lessons are carefully sequenced and confidence building to ensure each learner will develop a strong understanding of math each step of the way. There is daily review to ensure your learner has the chance to fully master what has been taught in previous lessons. This class will combine a deep conceptual understanding with traditional skill practice for a complete Third grade math education. 

This class will include fun activities like Fraction Diner, the Chocolate shop, Escape the maze, and Division Crash to help build your learners confidence and a positive math mindset. You will be given recommendations for math related picture books and additional activities you can do at home. 

This class requires the two colorful and engaging student workbooks to reinforce what your learner is learning. We will work together to do the lesson activity page to learn a new topic. Then your learner will work on two review pages independently. These pages reinforce new skills taught as well as review previous lessons. If time allows we will work on these pages in class. If we do not have enough time to complete the two independent work pages during class time then your learner will need to complete them after class time.
