Maths

• The year 3 student has learned to add and subtract 3-digit numbers using column addition and subtraction techniques.
• They have practiced multiplication and division facts up to 12 and understood the relationship between multiplication and division.
• Students have learned to tell time using both analog and digital clocks, and understand the concept of units of time.
• They have developed an understanding of fractions, including identifying and comparing fractions, and finding fractions of quantities.

For continued development, encourage the year 3 student to apply math concepts to real-life situations. For addition and subtraction, they can work with money or measurements. To reinforce multiplication and division, have them practice skip counting and solve word problems. Using interactive games and activities can make learning about time and fractions fun and engaging. Incorporating math into daily routines, such as cooking or shopping, can also help reinforce their understanding of these concepts.
