Chapter 1: Numbers to 10 000
PRIME Mathematics Teacher’s Guide Grade 3A 2022 T.1
Objective
In this chapter, students use place value cards to help them interpret, read and write 4-digit numbers in
thousands, hundreds, tens and ones.
They identify the place value of each digit in 4-digit numbers and express the number in standard, word and
expanded forms.
Students are expected to be able to compare and order up to four 4-digit numbers.
They also learn to complete number patterns. These concepts are necessary when they learn to operate with
numbers within 10 000 in the later chapters.
Biblical integration
Big numbers show God’s sovereignty, and providence. God created all things with enormous value. Everywhere
God places you, is of value or importance, so value His creation. Hebrews11:12

Chapter 2: Addition and Subtraction
PRIME Mathematics Teacher’s Guide Grade 3A
Objective
In this chapter, students use manipulative materials to learn the terms ‘sum’ and difference and the operations
associated with them.
They extend their knowledge of adding and subtracting in vertical form to add to and subtract from 4-digit
numbers, without regrouping and with multiple regroupings.
Students will need to be familiar with these concepts so they can solve word problems involving addition and
subtraction of 4-digit numbers.
Biblical integration

Judges 2:7.

Chapter 3: Multiplication and Division
PRIME Mathematics Teacher’s Guide Grade 3A
Objectives
In this chapter, the concepts of multiplication are extended to multiplying 2-digit and 3-digit numbers without
and with regrouping.
They learn the zero property of multiplication and make use of this concept to t help them multiply using the
vertical form.
Students are then introduced to division situations where the dividend does not always divide exactly into equal
groups, but leaves a remainder.
They apply division strategies to divide 2-digit and 3-digit numbers using the vertical form.

Biblical integration
Multiplication shows the generosity of God as revealed in Gen 1:28 and John 6:7-13 – where Jesus feeds the 5000.

unequal distributions. Heb 11:12, Gen 1:4, Josh 18:5, Mt 20:1-16

In this chapter, extend their knowledge on multiplication tables 6, 7, 8, and 9.
They will also learn to multiply and divide up to 3-digit numbers by 6, 7, 8 and 9 by applying strategies used in
multiplying and dividing numbers by 2, 3, 4 and 5.They will recall that multiplication and division are inverse
operations and so, the related multiplication fact can be used to find the quotient.
Students are expected to observe the commutative and distributive properties of multiplication
They also learn to use bar models to solve multiplication and division word problems.
