Math 3

Building Math Mastery (Ages 8 – 10). A challenging, engaging curriculum for gifted 3rd graders built on Beast Academy Level 3. Students tackle complex problem-solving, explore mathematical reasoning, and build deep conceptual understanding far beyond traditional 3rd grade math.

Course Overview

This class is not for every child.

Advanced Math 3 is designed for gifted and high-ability students ages 8–10. If yours is one of these kids, they’re ready.

Races through classwork and wants more.

When 3rd grade math is too easy, capable kids check out. This class is built to keep curious, fast-moving minds genuinely engaged.

Loves puzzles and figuring things out.

Every session includes logic puzzles and multi-step problems that reward the kind of thinking curious kids already love to do.

Strong in math — and you want them to go deeper.

Good performance in school math is the floor here, not the ceiling. This course builds the reasoning skills that carry students through 4th grade and beyond.

Ready to understand math, not just memorize it.

Rather than drilling facts, students here learn why multiplication works, what fractions really mean, and how to think through problems they’ve never seen before.
