During Lower Key Stage 2 (Year 3 and Year4), the focus of mathematics is on the mastery of the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) so that children can carry out calculations mentally, and using written methods. In Year 3 your child is likely to be introduced to the standard written column methods of addition and subtraction.

- Add and subtract numbers mentally, including adding either 1s, 10s or units to a 3-digit number.
- Use the standard column method for addition and subtraction for up to three digits.
- Estimate the answers to calculations, and use inverse calculations to check the answers.
- Learn the 3x, 4x and 8x tables and the related division facts, for example knowing that 56 ÷ 8 = 7
- Begin to solve multiplication and division problems with two-digit numbers

- Equivalent fractions are fractions which have the same value, such as 1/2 and 3/6 or ¼ and 2/8.
- Understand and use tenths, including counting in tenths.
- Recognise and show equivalent. fractions with small denominators.
- Add and subtract simple fractions worth less than one, for example 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7
- Put a sequence of simple fractions into size order.

- Solve simple problems involving adding and subtracting measurements such as length and weight.
- Measure the perimeter of simple shapes.
- Add and subtract amounts of money, including giving change.
- Tell the time to the nearest minute using an analogue clock.
- Use vocabulary about time, including a.m. and p.m., hours, minutes and seconds.

- Draw familiar 2-d shapes and make familiar 3-d shape models. Recognise right angles, and know that these are a quarter turn, with four making a whole turn.
- Identify whether an angle is greater than, less than or equal to a right angle.
- Identify horizontal, vertical, perpendicular and parallel lines Parallel lines are those which run alongside each other and never meet. Perpendicular lines cross over each other meeting exactly at right angles.

Parent Tip – How can I help at home?
Parents and carers can always take a lead role in practical maths. Encouraging your child to help with the purchasing of small items at the newsagent, or measuring themselves and others, is a great way to start exploring number relationships.
