Year 3

Children will learn to:

• identify and represent numbers using different representations

• read and write numbers up to 1000 in numerals and in words

• recognise the place value of each digit in a three-digit number

• compare and order numbers to 1000

• round numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000

• solve problems and practical problems involving the above ideas.

Children will learn to:

• count in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100

• find 10 or 100 more or less than a given number

• estimate the answer to a calculation and use inverse operations to check answers

• add and subtract numbers mentally, including:

  • a three-digit number and ones

  • a three-digit number and tens

  • a three-digit number and hundreds

• add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction

• solve problems including missing number problems, using number facts, place value, and more complex addition and subtraction

• recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables

• write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables that they know, including for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods

• solve problems involving missing number problems, involving multiplication and division, including positive integer scaling problems and correspondence problems in which n objects are connected to m objects.

Children will learn to:

• count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into ten equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by ten.

• recognise, find and write fractions as a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions non-unit fractions with small denominators

• recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions non-unit fractions with small denominators

• recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators

• compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominators

• add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole

• solve problems that involve all of the above.

Children will learn to:

• solve problems involving missing number problems.

Children will learn to:

• measure, compare, add and subtract:

  • lengths (m/cm/mm);

  • mass (kg/g);

  • volume/capacity (l/ml)

• add and subtract amounts of money to give change, using both pounds and pence in practical contexts

• tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including using Roman numerals from I to XII, and 12-hour and 24-hour clocks

• estimate and read time with increasing accuracy to the nearest minute; record and compare time in terms of seconds, minutes and hours, use vocabulary such as o'clock, a.m./p.m., morning, afternoon, noon and midnight

• know the number of seconds in a minute and the number of days in each month, year and leap year

• compare durations of events.

Children will learn to:

• measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes

• draw 2-D shapes

• make 3-D shapes using modelling materials; recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them

• recognise angles as a property of shape or a desciption of a turn

• identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn; identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle

• identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines

Children will learn to:

• interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables

• solve one-step and two-step questions using information presented in scaled bar charts and pictograms and tables.
