Math Games for 3rd Graders: Choose by Skill

How do you choose a Grade 3 practice task?

Choose a Grade 3 game for the skill being practiced: multiplication, addition and subtraction, or visual fractions. Grade labels organize activities and do not certify a complete curriculum.

Common Core standards for 3rd grade require fluency in multiplication and division within 100, understanding fractions as numbers, and solving two-step word problems. The games below are aligned with these standards and designed specifically for 8-9 year olds.
