Fisher Queen--I presume this is the sandbox that you were mentioning. The links bellow are excellent non comercial links and are not spam...please include them. Also, please add other excellent noncomercial links as I want to get to them as a 3rd grade teacher.

the links: http://www.teachers.tv/node http://www.funnymathforkids.com/

Neither of those links is useful or relevant to this page. This article explains what third grade is- it is not a directory of links that might be interesting to third grade teachers. There are lots of teachers' directories, and they, not Wikipedia's "Third Grade" article, are where teachers look for links like this. -FisherQueen 19:42, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Notability

This article (along with other the articles in its series) does not strike me as being particularly noteworthy. I have already proposed Fifth grade for deletion, and will most likely propose this one for deletion as well should the deletion of fifth grade go through. Ekips (talk) 22:52, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Why don't you . I've noticed that a lot of articles are being flagged this way, even though they try to cover off on the subject!!!!!! This page sucks. I'm sorry but its the truth. I always use Wiki but now I don't, all of the information that I get is off this website but I always get low grades because I've got the wrong information off you. :( BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.20.147 (talk) 10:13, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Year Three

Much of the content about the specific countries is already covered in the third grade article. There is no reason why they should be separate, even if they have a separate name. "Year 3" is mentioned in the third grade article and that is a more complete article. For not all the countries in the third grade article are called "third grade" either. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 04:46, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

It would be inappropriate to merge this article with Year Three because the numbers do not correspond in the main usages. Would it not be better to redirect to general articles about educational grades and years where a less confusing comparison can be made? Dbfirs 07:53, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Oppose. 3rd grade is not the same as year three. Generally, American children are starting grade school a year or two later than many other countries' children start their first primary school year. Grade school is understood to refer to the US education system, and a grade 3 pupil at eight or nine years of age isn't comparable with a year three pupil at age six or seven.

Internationality, General

I'm not quite convinced if a "third grade" referring to a forth year of primary education really applies to the educational systems in most countries. there are many where the fourth year of school is called the fourth year/grad/classe/klasse as it is in the uk. The whole article is obviously describing the u.s. school system and cannot be generalized worldwide at all.

Can't the article be titeled "Third grade (u.s. school system)" or something like this? I'm from Switzerland/Europe, and i definitely haven't learned about the Civil War or the Gold Rush in "Third grade":)

It is an interesting read somehow because it explains a bit about how the u.s. educational concept is structured, but it completely lacks sources and seems to merely be a collection of descriptive examples of which i don't even know to what extent they apply to the United States system nationwide (aren't you quite liberal in those questions on what should be taught how and when? - i mean ask the mormons, or the crazy guys who teach you about creationism etc... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.164.212.26 (talk) 00:50, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes, the article need to be restructured with an international lead, then a US section. I'd be surprised if the US curriculum is as uniform as is implied by the list of topics. I'll change "most" to "many". Dbfirs 08:06, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
