That was in my 9th grade civics class.  Each state receives the number of electors according to the number of their members in the House and Senate. Thus, at least three. 

Why aren't the bigger populated states  given more votes to more fairly represent the number of voters? 

Did you flunk math reading problems?  The state with the largest population -- California, has 55 electoral votes -- 53 for the 53 representatives in the House and two for their two senators.  The states with the smallest populations, like Rhode Island have three electoral votes -- one for their single representative and two for their two senators.
