MATHS

Maths

• The Year 3 student learned about addition and subtraction using numbers up to 100.
• They practiced counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s, developing their multiplication skills.
• Students were introduced to shapes and their properties, including recognizing and identifying 2D and 3D shapes.
• They learned about units of measure, such as length, mass, and capacity, and began understanding how to measure using different units.

For continued development, encourage students to practice mental math skills through games and real-life scenarios – for example, asking them to count the change at a store or calculate the time it takes to walk to different locations. Introducing math-related puzzles and challenges can also help develop problem-solving skills and reinforce mathematical concepts.
