MATHEMATICS
Narrative
Welcome to Adventures in 3rd Grade, a FREE class for elementary school students on the foundations of Mathematics. Your students will learn the multiplication table (what we refer to as a paper calculator) and will reinforce their learning by solving fractions and by using formulas to calculating the area and perimeter and eventually the volume and surface area of different objects all while having fun.
The bedrock of S.T.E.M. education is math, the universal language. Without math, all other subjects cannot exist.
