Following the White Rose Maths scheme, year 3 will cover three main blocks of learning over the course of the autumn term: place value, addition and subtraction and multiplication and division. As part of the White Rose Maths scheme, each block is broken down into a series of small learning steps. Combined, these small learning steps then cover all the curriculum content your child needs to know in small related chunks.
| Maths area of learning | Block | Small Learning Steps |
| Number | Place Value | Represent and partition numbers up to 100 and 1000; use a number line to 100 & 1000; find, 1, 10 and 100, more and less; use a number line to 1000; estimate a number on a 1000 line; compare and order numbers to 1000; count in 50’s. |
| Number | Addition and subtraction | Apply number bonds within 10; add and subtract 1’s, 10’s and 100’s; add, 1’s across 10, 10’s across 100.; subtract, 1’s across 10, 10’s across 100; add and subtract two numbers with no exchange. |
| Number | Multiplication and Division | Multiplication – equal groups; use arrays; multiples of 2; multiples of 5 and 10; sharing and grouping; multiply by 3; divide by 3; the 3 times-table; multiply by 4; divide by 4; the 4 times-table; multiply by 8; divide by 8; the 8 times-table; the 2, 4 and 8 times-tables. |
One of the most important things for your child to have mastered and maintain is their knowledge of times tables. For an overview of our weekly times tables focus, please view our Term 1 and Term 2 Homework Grid. To complement their work in lessons reinforcing their fluency, recall and commutativity of these timetables, your child will be set a weekly activity to complete as part of their homework on Sumdog.
