Our students take a "3 Minute Math" test each Friday to help reinforce math facts. Students have three minutes to solve 50 math facts. Everyone begins with addition facts. In order to move to the next quiz, students can only miss two questions. If a student misses more than two questions on a quiz, they will have the same paper the next test day. As facts are mastered, students move through the addition tests. Then we do subtraction facts, -1 through -10, followed by multiplication and division. The purpose of the 3 Minute Drill is to help students rapidly recall addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. Since math facts were introduced in first grade, third grade students should not count on their fingers to solve addition or subtraction problems. To help prepare for the 3 Minute Drill, you can practice with the actual sheets we use in class. These pages can be printed and cut down the middle for two practice sheets. Good luck!
