Comparing Statements - PowerPoint

Mathematics teaching resources for Year 3 pupils focus on the concepts of multiplication and division, providing a variety of exercises to reinforce their understanding. One activity involves representing multiplications as arrays, such as visualising 3 x 5 on a grid to help grasp the concept of multiplication. Another task requires students to write the multiplication sentence for a given array, for instance, deducing that an array showing four groups of four equates to the multiplication sentence 4 x 4. These exercises are designed to help children visualise and comprehend the relationship between multiplication and its representation in array form.

Further tasks encourage pupils to use arrays to complete number sentences, comparing numerical statements using greater than, less than, or equal to symbols, and filling in missing numbers to balance equations. For example, students might be asked to determine whether 5 x 4 is equal to 2 x 10 or if 28 ÷ 7 is greater than 21 ÷ 9. They are also challenged to verify if certain statements are true or false, such as assessing if 8 x 2 is indeed greater than 4 x 4. These activities aim to deepen their understanding of numerical relationships and develop their reasoning skills. Additionally, worksheets are available to practice these concepts, with varying levels of difficulty to cater to different learning needs.
