Maths

In Maths we will be learning about Multiplication and Division.

More information about our maths work can be found on the 'Year 3 Key Topics' page.

Here is our topic overview for the spring term:

Times Tables

It would be very beneficial for children could practise their times tables regularly - little and often is the best way. In Year 3 children are expected to know their 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables.

Websites to help learning times tables include:

Reading

Children are strongly encouraged to read at home. Like times tables, reading little and often is a good way to increase fluency and understanding of text.

Here is a recommended reading list for Year 3:
