Year 3 Block D - Calculating, measuring and understanding shape

A summary of the content for Block D; calculating, measuring and understanding shape
The text in this diagram identifies the focus of mathematics learning within the block

 

The objectives for the block are listed in the table - the right hand column indicates how the objectives might be addressed in the units

Objectives

  • Solve one-step and two-step problems involving numbers, money or measures, including time, choosing and carrying out appropriate calculations

  • Represent the information in a puzzle or problem using numbers, images or diagrams; use these to find a solution and present it in context, where appropriate using £.p notation or units of measure

 

tick

 

  • Use knowledge of number operations and corresponding inverses, including doubling and halving, to estimate and check calculations

 

 

tick

  • Add or subtract mentally combinations of one-digit and two-digit numbers

tick

tick

 

  • Develop and use written methods to record, support or explain addition and subtraction of two-digit and three-digit numbers

 

tick

tick

  • Use practical and informal written methods to multiply and divide two-digit numbers (e.g. 13 × 3, 50 ÷4); round remainders up or down, depending on the context

  • Understand that division is the inverse of multiplication and vice versa; use this to derive and record related multiplication and division number sentences

 

 

tick

  • Find unit fractions of numbers and quantities (e.g.one half,one third,one quarterandone sixthof 12 litres)

tick

  • Draw and complete shapes with reflective symmetry; draw the reflection of a shape in a mirror line along one side

 

tick

 

  • Read and record the vocabulary of position, direction and movement, using the four compass directions to describe movement about a grid

tick

tick

 

  • Use a set-square to draw right angles and to identify right angles in 2-D shapes; compare angles with a right angle; recognise that a straight line is equivalent to two right angles

 

tick

tick

  • Know the relationships between kilometres and metres, metres and centimetres, kilograms and grams, litres and millilitres; choose and use appropriate units to estimate, measure and record measurements

tick

tick

 

  • Read, to the nearest division and half-division, scales that are numbered or partially numbered; use the information to measure and draw to a suitable degree of accuracy

tick

 

tick

  • Read the time on a 12-hour digital clock and to the nearest 5 minutes on an analogue clock; calculate time intervals and find start or end times for a given time interval
