Year 3 Mathematics in the Australian Curriculum

AC9M3N01

recognise, represent and order natural numbers using naming and writing conventions for numerals beyond 10 000

AC9M3N02

recognise and represent unit fractions including \(\frac12\), \(\frac13\), \(\frac14\), \(\frac15\) and \(\frac1{10}\) and their multiples in different ways; combine fractions with the same denominator to complete the whole

AC9M3N03

add and subtract two- and three-digit numbers using place value to partition, rearrange and regroup numbers to assist in calculations without a calculator

AC9M3N04

multiply and divide one- and two-digit numbers, representing problems using number sentences, diagrams and arrays, and using a variety of calculation strategies

AC9M3N05

estimate the quantity of objects in collections and make estimates when solving problems to determine the reasonableness of calculations

AC9M3N06

use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving additive and multiplicative situations including financial contexts; formulate problems using number sentences and choose calculation strategies, using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation

AC9M3N07

follow and create algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions to investigate numbers; describe any emerging patterns

AC9M3A01

recognise and explain the connection between addition and subtraction as inverse operations, apply to partition numbers and find unknown values in number sentences

AC9M3A02

extend and apply knowledge of addition and subtraction facts to 20 to develop efficient mental strategies for computation with larger numbers without a calculator

AC9M3A03

recall and demonstrate proficiency with multiplication facts for \(3, 4, 5\) and \(10\); extend and apply facts to develop the related division facts

AC9M3M01

identify which metric units are used to measure everyday items; use measurements of familiar items and known units to make estimates

AC9M3M02

measure and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, mass and capacity, and instruments with labelled markings

AC9M3M03

recognise and use the relationship between formal units of time including days, hours, minutes and seconds to estimate and compare the duration of events

AC9M3M04

describe the relationship between the hours and minutes on analog and digital clocks, and read the time to the nearest minute

AC9M3M05

identify angles as measures of turn and compare angles with right angles in everyday situations

AC9M3M06

recognise the relationships between dollars and cents and represent money values in different ways

AC9M3SP01

make, compare and classify objects, identifying key features and explaining why these features make them suited to their uses

AC9M3SP02

interpret and create two-dimensional representations of familiar environments, locating key landmarks and objects relative to each other

AC9M3ST01

acquire data for categorical and discrete numerical variables to address a question of interest or purpose by observing, collecting and accessing data sets; record the data using appropriate methods including frequency tables and spreadsheets

AC9M3ST02

create and compare different graphical representations of data sets including using software where appropriate; interpret the data in terms of the context

AC9M3ST03

conduct guided statistical investigations involving the collection, representation and interpretation of data for categorical and discrete numerical variables with respect to questions of interest

AC9M3P01

identify practical activities and everyday events involving chance; describe possible outcomes and events as ‘likely’ or ‘unlikely’ and identify some events as ‘certain’ or ‘impossible’ explaining reasoning

AC9M3P02

conduct repeated chance experiments; identify and describe possible outcomes, record the results, recognise and discuss the variation
