Properties of shape - Draw accurately​ - Starter

In a Year 3 mathematics lesson, students are provided with a series of exercises designed to test their arithmetic skills and understanding of geometric properties. The lesson is part of the Summer Term's curriculum, taking place on Week 7, Day 4. One task challenges students to solve a division problem where they must find the result of 32 divided by 8. Another problem requires them to calculate 12 less than 300, then divide this number by a quarter of 36, honing their ability to combine subtraction and division operations. Additionally, students are prompted to describe an angle as being greater or less than a right angle, and to specify whether it is an obtuse or acute angle, fostering their vocabulary related to angles.

Another practical application of maths is presented in a real-life scenario where students must determine the number of boys at a disco, given that there are 297 children in total and 146 of them are girls. This exercise reinforces subtraction skills. Furthermore, students are tasked with comparing multiplication expressions using the symbols for less than (<), greater than (>), or equal to (=). They must evaluate and complete statements such as whether 8 times 9 is less than, greater than, or equal to 4 times 6 or 8 times 3, and similarly for 10 times 7. These activities are designed to solidify the students' understanding of multiplication and comparison, which are fundamental concepts in mathematics.
