In a mathematical exercise aimed at Year 3 students, children are tasked with a series of problems that test their understanding of number composition and basic arithmetic operations. The exercise begins with a 'Fluent in Four' revision section, which encourages students to practice their mental maths skills. One of the problems presented requires the students to calculate the sum of 271 (two hundreds and seventy-one ones) when added to 546 (five hundreds, 4 tens, and 6 ones), leading to an answer of 817. Another problem prompts the students to determine the missing number in an equation where 902 is the sum of 497 and an unknown addend.

The worksheet also includes part-whole model exercises where students must complete the models with the correct numbers. Additionally, a practical word problem is presented, involving Malachi who makes groups of 5 sweets. Students must calculate the total number of sweets he has by multiplying the number of groups (8) by the size of each group (5) and then adding the leftover sweets (4), resulting in a total of 44 sweets. The tasks are designed to reinforce the students' understanding of addition, place value, and the concept of division into equal groups with remainders. The exercise also includes a challenge for students to identify and continue a sequence of shapes, further developing their pattern recognition skills.
