The Year 3 maths curriculum in England focuses on building a strong foundation in number and place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, measurement, geometry, and statistics. Students will work with numbers up to 1000, learn to solve problems using formal written methods, and begin to grasp more complex concepts like fractions and angles.
This is a more detailed breakdown:
1. Number and Place Value:
- Students will count in multiples of 4, 8, 50, and 100.
- They will recognize the place value of each digit in a 3-digit number (hundreds, tens, and ones).
- Comparing, ordering, and representing numbers up to 1000 are also key aspects.
- Students will learn to read and write numbers up to 1000 in numerals and words.
2. Addition and Subtraction:
- Year 3 students will learn to add and subtract two-digit and three-digit numbers.
- They will use formal written methods for addition and subtraction.
- Solving number problems and practical problems involving addition and subtraction is emphasised.
3. Multiplication and Division:
- Students will learn the multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4, and 8 times tables.
- They will begin to multiply two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.
4. Fractions:
- Year 3 focuses on understanding tenths and their relationship to the whole.
- Students will count up and down in tenths.
- They will learn to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator.
- Recognising equivalent fractions with small denominators using diagrams is also part of the curriculum.
5. Measurement:
- Students will measure, compare, add, and subtract lengths (meters, centimeters, millimeters), mass (kilograms, grams), and volume/capacity (liters, milliliters).
- They will learn to measure the perimeter of simple 2D shapes.
- Adding and subtracting amounts of money, telling time (including Roman numerals and 12/24 hour clocks), and understanding seconds, minutes, days, months, and years are also covered.
6. Geometry:
- Students will draw 2D shapes and make 3D shapes using modeling materials.
- They will learn to recognize angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn.
- Identifying right angles, half-turns, three-quarter turns, and complete turns is an important aspect of this area.
- Students will also learn about horizontal, vertical, parallel, and perpendicular lines.
7. Statistics:
- Year 3 students will learn to interpret and present data using pictograms, tables, and charts.
- They will answer one-step and two-step questions using the data presented in scaled bar charts, tables, and pictograms.
This is a weekly course for 3 terms. Classes are starting in September 2025. The price is per tuition class.
