Year 3

Number - multiplication and division

Pupils should be taught to:

• 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 they know, 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

Measurement- money:

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

Statistics:

• interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables
• solve one-step and two-step questions [for example ‘How many more?’ and ‘How many fewer?’] using information presented in scaled bar charts and pictograms and tables

Measurement (perimeter and length)

• measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes
• measure, compare, add and subtract: lengths (m/cm/mm);

•        compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties

•        describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock

•        recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter.

•        compare how things move on different surfaces

•        notice that some forces need contact between two objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance

•        observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others

•        compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials

•        describe magnets as having two poles

•        predict whether two magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing
