The following page provides information on the coverage of skills taught within mathematics and numeracy for the spring term. These are:
|
Place Value
|
• Round to the nearest 10 and 100
• Introduce approximations
• Estimate and write numbers to 1000
• Partition 3-digit numbers
|
|
Statistics
|
• Draw and interpret bar charts where 1 square or symbol represents 2 units• Populate a given table but change the orientation.
• Ask and answer questions by counting the number of objects in each category and sorting the categories by quantity
• Ask and answer questions about totalling and comparing data
• Interpret and construct pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and tables including two-way tables
|
|
Addition and subtraction
|
• Introduce vertical, written and expanded methods to add 2 and 3 digit numbers
• Introduce exchanging using formal written addition.
• Solve subtractions 3 of 3 and 2-digit numbers using base 10.
Solve word problems
|
|
Position and Direction
|
• Recognise right angles and know that they are 90 degrees
• Know that a right angle is a quarter turn and 360 degrees is a full turn
• Introduce anti-clockwise and clockwise
• Identify right angles in the environment
• Find angles in polygons
• Compass points
• Identify angles that are bigger and smaller than 90 degrees (using obtuse and
acute)
|
| Multiplication and Division |
• Introduce 6 and 8 times tables
• Use corresponding division facts
• Use appropriate multiplication and division strategies to solve problems.
• Use grid method to multiply 2-digit numbers by 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8.
• Revise division with remainders using concrete and pictorial representations
moving to bus stop method.
|
|
Fractions
|
• Identify 1/2s 1/4s 1/3s practically
• To know 4/8 is equal to a half
• To know 3/6 is equal to a half
• Link to tables and count in multiples
• draw and shade shapes in relation to halves and quarters and thirds
• explore fractions of shapes, objects, quantities, money and measure
• Find fractional quantities linked to known multiplication facts with the use of
concrete and pictorial representations.
• Link with division skills and equal groups
• write simple fractions e.g. 1/2 of 6 = 3 and recognise the equivalence of 2/4 and
1/2
• recognise, find, name and write fractions 1/3, 1/4, 2/4 and 3/4 of a length, shape,
set of objects or quantity

Pupils are challenged every week to improve their fluency in integral number skills such as multiplication and addition facts. Here is an example of the Year Three Big Maths Challenge. Pupils are encouraged to use the habit 'Get it Right!' to improve their scores and time. Here is an example below:
