CBSE Class 3 Maths Syllabus

"Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe." - Galileo Galilei.

Mathematics is not just a necessity but a privilege to use in day-to-day life. The lack of mathematical aptitude holds you back from a lot. Hence students should have an in-depth working understanding of the basic mathematical principles by Class III. below is the CBSE syllabus for the same that encompasses topics like measurements and mathematical functions like division and multiplication to create a working base for further education.
