and a little tiny '3' marked in a small gap in the middle of the slur.

What is a triple in musical terms?

Three notes, normally quavers, they are to played faster than normal quavers.

For example, if you had a triplet in quavers, they must be played in the time of a crotchet, because two quavers equal 1 crotchet. Another example, triplet in crotchets must be played in the time of a minim, because two crotchets equal 1 minim.
