The Nova Scotia Assessment: Literacy and Mathematics in Grade 3 and Mathématiques in Grade 3 is administered over 4-days during the weeks of May 12th - May 27th, 2025.
Provincial assessments provide a snapshot of student performance in key areas including mathematics. They support learning by providing feedback to students, teachers and parents about student learning. Provincial assessments can also provide system-wide information that assists in identifying educational trends and making decisions about resources and support.
French immersion students write only the mathématiques component of this assessment because they only begin formal English language arts instruction at the beginning of grade 3.
**New in 2024-25** French Immersion classes will no longer receive an English language version of the Mathematics assessment for reference. More information below.
A reminder that the Mathematics 3 Assessment only includes outcomes covered to up to this point in the school. Unit 10 Fractions of a Whole, Outcome is included and will be assessed.
Questions specific to Unit 11 (multiplication and division) and Unit 12 in the Pacing Guides for grade 3 will not be reflected in the M3 Assessment.

Teacher Resources and Additional Activities
Math Routines and Warm-ups
Mathematics 3 Setting Students up for Success English, French - This Google slides presentation contains twenty-eight multiple choice questions from a variety of outcomes. The purpose of these practice questions is to provide students with opportunities to review mathematical concepts from past units and to discuss how they might approach selected response questions (making the thinking visible for all students). It is not intended for these questions to be done all in one session but rather to use a few questions as a class warm-up discussion over several weeks.
Mathematics 3 Lessons Learned Questions English , French - The PLANS Lessons Learned document provides numerous example questions that provide additional practice and that address common student misconceptions. These questions have been collated in a Google slides document to make them easy to share with students. It is not intended for these questions to be done all in one session but rather to use a few questions as a class warm-up discussion over several weeks.
