Primary 3 maths covers 10 topics, taught across Terms 1 to 4: Numbers to 10 000; Money; Multiplication and Division; Bar Graphs; Angles; Perpendicular and Parallel Lines; Fractions; Length, Mass and Volume; Area and Perimeter; and Time. The year ends with the school's end-of-year exam.
Primary 3 is the first year with real problem sums and bigger numbers, so it is where a lot of children meet a question they cannot picture yet. Here is every P3 topic, in the order most Singapore schools teach it, with the one mistake that trips most children on each.
