1. Changes in Year 3 Key changes within the New Curriculum. 3 changes that you can help with.

2. The Knowledge Led Curriculum 3 Forms of Knowledge Factual – I know that Procedural – I know how Conceptual – I know why

4. MathsMaths Recalls multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 x 12. Use formal written layouts for the four operations. Reasoning and problem solving are at the centre of the curriculum. Maths

5. Recalls multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 x 12. What might this look like? 8 x ___ = 72 ___ ÷ 7 = 4 Find three possible answers for □ and Δ Δ x □ = 36

6. Can you give me an example of a multiple of 4? Another, another, another.... What do your responses have in common? What if it your answer had to be a 3-digit number? What if your answer had to be a 4-digit number?

7. Recalls multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 x 12. How can you help? Practise the recall of times tables facts with your child whenever possible. Get them a times tables poster to use at home. Make links to the division facts and ensure they understand how they fit with multiplication. Play multiplication games (there are many online and different apps to download).

8. Use formal written layouts for the four operations. What might this look like? Missing number problems □ 6 2 Calculate 24 x 8 + 3 5 □ 8 □ 4 160 40?

9. Addition

10. Subtraction

11. Multiplication

12. Division

13. Use formal written layouts for the four operations. How can you help? Be clear on the methods that your child will need to use. Encourage them to explain their workings. Encourage them to use the squares in their Numeracy Homework books to set their work out correctly. Talk about the place value in each column and of each digit.

14. Would you rather? Which of these would you rather be given? Why? of £100 of £80 of £250 Things to think about: How can you calculate the value of each ‘offer’? Is the numerator or denominator the most important number when deciding which offer to accept?

15. Things to think about: Disco drinks Dancing is thirsty work so your next school disco will need a drinks stall. Imagine that the stall will sell the drinks listed. Kirsty and her four friends each have £1.50 each to spend. Is there more than one possible solution for each challenge? Does it matter if the cost of the drinks is odd or even? Year 4 Problem 11 Your challenge Work out all the possibilities for: what Kirsty could buy if she spends all of her money on 4 drinks. what combinations Riley could buy if he buys over 6 drinks, but spends all of his money. what different combinations Harry could buy if he spends 10p on sweets and the rest on drinks. He doesn’t like cola. what Max could buy if he saved 30p to spend on sweets and buys only two different types of drink. what combinations Shayla could buy if she ends the night with 7p left. Extra challenge Can you create your own similar problems for a friend to solve?
