The children follow the National Numeracy Strategy.

The main objectives for Year 3 listed below are intended to give you an idea of some of the things your child should be able to do by the end of this year. Some targets maybe more complicated than they seem and so will involve your child meeting them more than once in the year and possibly again in the following year.

• Read, write and order whole numbers to at least 1000; know what each digit represents.
• Count on or back in tens or hundreds from any two- or three-digit number.
• Recognise unit fractions such as 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/10, and use them to find fractions of shapes and numbers.
• Know by heart all addition and subtraction facts for each number to 20.
• Add and subtract mentally a 'near multiple of 10' to or from a two-digit number.
• Know by heart facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables.
• Understand division and recognise that division is the inverse of multiplication.
• Use units of time and know the relationships between them (second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year).
• Understand and use money notation.
• Choose and use appropriate operations (including multiplication and division) to solve word problems, explaining
  methods and reasoning.
• Identify right angles.
• Identify lines of symmetry in simple shapes and recognise shapes with no lines of symmetry.
• Solve a given problem by organising and interpreting numerical data in simple lists, tables and graphs.
