Mass and capacity - Measure mass - Starter

In a mathematics exercise designed for Year 3 pupils during the summer term, children are challenged with a variety of questions to test their understanding of mass and capacity, as well as their multiplication and division skills. The 'Fluent in Four' revision section begins with a problem that requires doubling numbers before multiplying: double 4 times double 12. Pupils are also tasked with finding the number that, when multiplied by 3, equals 24. The session includes a time-telling activity, asking for the time that is '10 past 1'.

Further engaging the pupils' problem-solving abilities, the worksheet presents real-world scenarios involving doughnuts and strawberries, prompting the students to complete sentences comparing their weights. Another practical application of maths is given where Leanna has 15 toys and organises them into boxes, with 3 toys per box. Students must calculate the number of boxes she can fill, and then write the corresponding multiplication and division sentences. Lastly, the worksheet includes a pictogram representing the number of animals in a zoo, asking the children to determine how many penguins there are based on the provided key that equates a certain symbol to 10 animals. The answer to this pictogram question is 40 penguins.
