Year 3 Autumn Term: Block 2 Addition and Subtraction
Superb on-screen activities and worksheets for Year 3 Maths Mastery addition and subtraction.
The numbers to add and subtract get larger in Year 3, starting with adding whole hundreds. Mental strategies are still the best method when adding or subtracting ones or tens to/from hundreds as it is usually the quickest and most efficient method. Bar models can be very helpful with this.
The standard written method is consolidated, usually with easier numbers, but children will need to decide the best method to use when adding or subtracting.
Children should be encouraged to check their answers by using a different method so that any possible errors are not repeated; for example use subtraction to check the answer to an addition.
This is a 5 week block. As well as the resources in the Mastery category there are a great many more in our Year 3 Addition and Subtraction categories.
