Time - Months and years - Starter

In the 'Fluent in Four' revision section for Year 3 students during the Summer Term's fourth week, they are presented with a series of engaging mathematical challenges. The first task prompts the students to calculate one less than 20 times half of 16, which tests their multiplication and subtraction skills. Another problem asks them to find the number that, when multiplied by 4, equals 28, reinforcing their multiplication facts. The worksheet also includes a time-telling exercise, where students are asked to identify the time when the clock shows '10 to 3' or 'quarter to 12', and so on, enhancing their ability to read analogue clocks.

Another practical maths scenario involves counting the total number of wheels on 9 tricycles in the playground, which requires students to apply their multiplication skills. Additionally, the worksheet includes a question about ice-cream flavour preferences among children, where students must determine the number of children who prefer vanilla compared to another flavour. To visualise the data, they are tasked with completing a pictogram that represents children's favourite ice-cream flavours, with each symbol equating to two ice-creams. This activity combines mathematical reasoning with data handling and interpretation, providing a well-rounded approach to learning.
