Year 3

Number & Place Value

count from 0 in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100

find 10 or 100 more or less than a given number

recognise the place value of each digit in a three-digit number (hundreds, tens, ones)

compare and order numbers up to 1000

identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations

read and write numbers up to 1000 in numerals

read and write numbers up to 1000 in numerals in words

solve number problems and practical problems involving these ideas

Addition & Subtraction

add and subtract numbers mentally, including a three digit number and ones

add numbers with up to three digits using the formal method of columnar addition

subtract numbers with up to three digits using the formal method of columnar subtraction

add and subtract numbers mentally, including a three digit number and tens

add and subtract numbers mentally, including a three digit number and hundreds

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

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

Multiplication & Division

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 he/she knows, including for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers using mental and progressing to formal written methods

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

Fractions

count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one - digit numbers or quantities by 10

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

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

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

add fractions with the same denominator within one whole e.g. 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7

subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole e.g. 6/7 - 1/7 = 5/7

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

solve fraction problems

Measurement

measure, compare, add and subtract: lengths (m/cm/mm); mass (kg/g); volume/capacity (l/ml)

measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes

add and subtract amounts of money to give change, using both £ and p in practical contexts

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

write the time using 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 e.g. to calculate the time taken by particular events or tasks

Properties of Shapes

draw 2-D shapes and 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 description of a turn

identify right angles and identify whether other angles are greater or less than a right angle

recognise that two right angles make a half turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn

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

Statistics

interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables

solve one -step and two -step questions e.g. 'How many more?' and 'How many fewer?' using information presented in scaled bar charts and pictograms and tables
