Montessori Curriculum: Lessons for Grade 3 (8- to 9-year-olds)

Montessori Lower Elementary Math Grade 3

These are the lessons that my son has been learning this year in third grade. Because of the pandemic we’re doing Montessori homeschooling, which isn’t traditional homeschooling and isn’t the usual Montessori method either, but rather an expedient hybrid of the two. His school gives us a Monthly Work Plan — basically a list of lessons for that month — and they have a website dedicated to their Montessori Individualized Home Program where they post presentation videos and activities to enhance mastery of the lessons.

 

As my son’s primary “teacher” I devise activities, look for other resources that would be helpful, and also make my own worksheets, quizzes, and even videos. I enjoy doing it, honestly, and I’m fortunate to have the time to do it, but I know that a lot of parents don’t, so I’m sharing here our lessons and the resources I found (or made) for each lesson. This will be a work in progress so do check back regularly!
