Place value - Tens and ones using addition - Starter

The material presents a series of mathematical exercises aimed at Year 3 students to enhance their understanding of place value, specifically focusing on tens and ones using addition. The exercises begin with a calculation task that requires students to subtract four from forty-six. This is followed by a 'Fluent in Four' revision section, which challenges students to identify a number represented visually, likely using base ten blocks or a similar representation. Once identified, they are tasked with writing all associated number facts that form a bond to twenty with that number.

Further activities include questions that integrate mathematics with practical scenarios, such as calculating the amount of money in pence, and operations involving halving and subtracting from a number. Students are encouraged to explore the relationships between numbers through various exercises, like identifying the result of half of twenty-four minus seven, and writing down the associated number facts that connect with the number twenty, such as 3 + 17 = 20 and 20 – 3 = 17. These exercises not only reinforce the concept of number bonds but also help students to appreciate the symmetry in addition and subtraction within the number system. Additional tasks include working with time, such as identifying 'quarter past 12', and performing simple subtractions like 12 – 7.
