What 3rd graders practice in these games

These are the Common Core State Standards for grade 3 that the games above practice, quoted from thecorestandards.org. Each one links to the games where students work on it.

3.G.A.1 Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.Practiced in: Lines, Triangles & Quadrilaterals
3.MD.A.1 Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.Practiced in: Time & Clock
3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.Practiced in: Measurement
3.MD.B.3 Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step "how many more" and "how many less" problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.Practiced in: Data & Graphs
3.MD.C.7 Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.Practiced in: Perimeter & Area
3.MD.D.8 Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.Practiced in: Perimeter & Area
3.NBT.A.1 Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.Practiced in: Rounding & Estimation
3.NF.A.1 Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.Practiced in: Fractions
3.NF.A.3 Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.Practiced in: Fractions
3.OA.A.1 Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each.Practiced in: Multiplication, Times Tables Dojo
3.OA.A.2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.Practiced in: Division
3.OA.B.6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8.Practiced in: Division
3.OA.C.7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.Practiced in: Multiplication, Times Tables Dojo, Math Puzzles
3.OA.D.9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table or multiplication table), and explain them using properties of operations. For example, observe that 4 times a number is always even, and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends.Practiced in: Times Tables Dojo, Patterns & First Algebra, Math Puzzles

How to use these games in class

🚀 Starter (5 minutes)

Project Multiplication and build 4 × 6 as an array. Ask which two smaller arrays make the same total, then record the equation.

🧩 Station (10–15 minutes)

Students play the 60-second sprint in Times Tables Dojo, write their best score on a card and try to beat it at the next station visit.

🏠 Homework

Send the Fractions link home. Students shade, compare and match fractions, then explain one comparison to a family member.

Questions teachers and parents ask

What math do 3rd graders learn?

Common Core names four focus areas for grade 3: multiplication and division within 100, fractions (especially unit fractions), the structure of rectangular arrays and area, and describing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes. Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Perimeter & Area, and Lines, Triangles & Quadrilaterals practice these.

When should 3rd graders know their times tables?

Common Core standard 3.OA.C.7 says students should know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers by the end of grade 3. Times Tables Dojo shows every fact to 12 × 12 on one board and brings back the facts a student misses.

Are these math games free, and do students need an account?

Yes, they are free. Students do not need an account, a download or an email address: open the link in a browser on a Chromebook, tablet, laptop or phone and play.

How do the levels, missions and stars work?

Most games have three levels, so a student can start easy and move up: a free play mode where nothing can go wrong, missions that award up to 3 stars, and a short timed challenge with no penalties.
