Number and place value
In Year 3, children learn to:
- count from 0 in multiples of four, eight, 50 and 100;
- work out if a given number is greater or less than 10 or 100;
- recognise the place value of each digit in a three-digit number (hundreds, tens, and ones);
- solve number problems and practical problems involving these ideas.
Addition and subtraction
In Year 3, children learn to:
- add and subtract numbers mentally including a three-digit number and ones;
- add and subtract numbers mentally including a three-digit number and tens;
- add and subtract numbers mentally including a three-digit number and hundreds.
Multiplication and division
In Year 3, children learn to:
- recall and use multiplication and division facts for the three, four and eight multiplication tables;
- write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables that are known including for two-digit numbers.
Fractions (including decimals)
In Year 3, children learn to:
- 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 show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators.
Measurement
In Year 3, children 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 £ and p in practical contexts;
- tell and write the time from an analogue clock and 12-hour and 24-hour clocks;
- 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.
Statistics
In Year 3, children learn to:
- interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables.
