Multiplication and division - Make equal groups sharing - Starter

In a set of engaging math exercises designed for Year 3 students during the Autumn Term's tenth week, children are encouraged to strengthen their understanding of basic arithmetic and geometry. The activities commence with a 'Fluent in Four' revision task, prompting students to write calculations that correspond to visual representations. For instance, they may be asked to add eighteen to four tens and fifteen ones, challenging them to combine numbers in various forms such as units, tens, and ones to find a total sum.

Further exercises include comparing different objects using comparison symbols (greater than, less than, and equal to), which helps to develop their reasoning skills in evaluating quantities. Students are also tasked with counting items, such as snowflakes, to reinforce their multiplication skills. Geometry is introduced through a table where students must identify shapes, count the number of flat faces each shape has, and then draw those faces. This activity not only teaches them about different shapes but also about their properties and representations. For shapes like cylinders and cuboids, students are required to complete the table by providing the correct number of flat faces and sketching them, thereby integrating both visual and numerical learning.
