What’s in the Class 3 Maths NCERT Book (2026-27 Edition)
Double Century and House of Hundreds I and II build number sense up to a few hundred; Fair Share is this book’s first introduction to sharing/division concepts; Fun with Shapes and Filling and Lifting introduce geometry and measurement, closing with Time Goes On.
Study Tip
Fair Share is where division starts, even though it is not called that yet — make sure the child understands equal grouping here, since Class 4’s Tables and Shares builds directly on this idea.
