Summary

• Description:

  The PDF document comprises Grade 3 Rationalized Mathematics Activities Curriculum Design.

  This curriculum design is developed by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) for implementation under the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC).

  • Level: Lower Primary – Grade 3
  • Learning Area: Mathematical Activities
  • First Published: 2017
  • Revised: 2024 (Rationalized Curriculum)
  • Lessons per Week: 5
  • Total Suggested Lessons: 150
  • Focus: Development of numeracy, logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and application of mathematics in real-life situations
  • Purpose: To build a strong foundation for STEM learning, enhance mathematical reasoning, and develop confidence and interest in mathematics
  • Integration: Core competencies, values, Pertinent and Contemporary Issues (PCIs), digital literacy, assessment rubrics, and Community Service Learning (CSL)

  By the end of Primary Education, the learner should be able to:

  • Demonstrate mastery of number concepts in solving day-to-day problems
  • Apply measurement skills in different contexts
  • Use geometrical shapes and spatial relationships in real-life situations
  • Apply data handling and algebraic thinking in everyday situations
  • Use mathematical knowledge across learning areas
  • Develop confidence, interest, and positive attitudes towards mathematics

  It covers the following strands and substrands:

  • Strand 1.0: Numbers
    • Number Activities (Ordering and Position) – 8 lessons
    • Whole Numbers (Counting, Place Value, Number Patterns) – 20 lessons
    • Addition (Up to three-digit numbers, regrouping, patterns) – 25 lessons
    • Subtraction (Up to three-digit numbers, regrouping, missing numbers) – 20 lessons
    • Multiplication (Repeated addition, single-digit multiplication, ×10) – 10 lessons
    • Division (Repeated subtraction, division without remainder) – 8 lessons
    • Fractions (1/2, 1/4, 1/8 as part of a whole and group) – 10 lessons
    • Total for Strand: 101 lessons
  • Strand 2.0: Measurement
    • Length (metres; addition and subtraction) – 6 lessons
    • Mass (kilograms; addition and subtraction) – 6 lessons
    • Capacity (litres; addition and subtraction) – 8 lessons
    • Time (minutes, reading clocks, time calculations) – 10 lessons
    • Money (Kenyan currency up to KSh 1000, operations and conversion) – 10 lessons
    • Total for Strand: 40 lessons
  • Strand 3.0: Geometry
    • Position and Direction (movement, right and left turns) – 5 lessons
    • Shapes (identifying, modelling, and drawing combined shapes) – 4 lessons
    • Total for Strand: 9 lessons

  The curriculum design also provides detailed suggested learning experiences, key inquiry questions, assessment rubrics for each competency level, recommended learning resources, integration of digital tools, and one annual integrated Community Service Learning (CSL) activity to connect mathematical skills with real-life applications.
