Anyone else planning maths end of year 3 catch up over the holidays

[PeanutButterOnly]

Hi, just wondered if anyone was planning to help their end of year 3 dc try to catch up in maths over the holidays. Am looking for inspiration and to share activity plans and ways of making it fun. DD 8.8 is only working towards yr 3 level and particularly needs building her understanding of number and place value according to her teacher. Thanks

Mental addition and subtraction

Know number bonds for all number up to 20 and use in addition and subtraction
Write balancing number sentences using numbers up to 20
Understand that = represents equality
Use known number facts to add AND subtract 1 digit to 2 digit numbers
Cross a tens boundary when adding/subtracting
Use number facts to chose a sensible order to add 4 or more numbers - explain your reasoning
Add pairs of 2 digit numbers by partitioning and recombining totals in tens or ones more than 10
Subtract numbers lying either side of a multiple of ten eg 42-28 drawing own empty number line
Subtract any pair of 2 digit numbers by counting up
Count up to find change from a pound
SP
Add pairs of 2 digit numbers using a variety of strategies
Add 3 digit numbers
Subtract near multiples of 10 from a 2 digit number
Subtract any 2 digit number from another using counting up
SU
Use compact addition to add any pair of 3 digit numbers
Use compact addition to add any pair of 3 digit numbers and round to nearest 10 and 100 to estimate totals
Use Frog (????) to subtract 2 digit numbers from 3 digit numbers eg 137-72
Use Frog to subtract pairs of numbers within the same century eg 472-427

Recognise and find one or more lines of symmetry
Complete complicated symmetrical drawings

SU

Convert between whole and half litres and millilitres
Measure in millimetres
Measure perimetres of 2D shape to the nearest cm
Understand am and pm
Tell time to nearest minute
Compare time durations

There's loads more. Back when I can
Hope it helps. It is me just typing it out!

Did you have a report saying next steps or anything?

I think rather than trying to cover the whole curriculum area you should consider picking one (I would recommend Numbers rather than Shape or Measures or Data) and just work on that, a little a day for as many days as you can. If you make progress, you can move on to a different area occasionally to add variety.

So place value, adding, subtracting, using a number line or whatever. Start with easy things to build up a feeling of success, then gently stretch.

DD2, going into y6, is on a 2 star system. 1 star for doing the maths (only 10 or 15 minutes), plus a second star for doing particularly well AND no whinging about it. (She has a similar system for holiday writing and holiday reading). I am aiming for her to get secure in only a few key things that other stuff builds on.

OP, has anyone pointed out to you that due to the curriculum change it is perfectly possible for a child to have been ahead under the old system in y2, but then only working towards under the new system in y3, AND to still have mad progress?

Thanks Mrz but seem to need a log on for that link. Can anyone join and what have you linked?

Anyone can register ... It's the content of the new curriculum for Y4

www.primarycurriculum.me.uk/year4
as is this!

Ma4/2.1 Number & Place Value

Ma4/2.1a count in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25 and 1,000

Ma4/2.1b find 1,000 more or less than a given number

Ma4/2.1c count backwards through 0 to include negative numbers

Ma4/2.1d recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (1,000s, 100s, 10s and 1s)

Ma4/2.1e order and compare numbers beyond 1,000

Ma4/2.1f identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations

Ma4/2.1g round any number to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000

Ma4/2.1h solve number and practical problems that involve all of the above and with increasingly large positive numbers

Ma4/2.1i read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of 0 and place value.

Ma4/2.2 Addition & Subtraction

Ma4/2.2a add and subtract numbers with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction where appropriate

Ma4/2.2b estimate and use inverse operations to check answers to a calculation

Ma4/2.2c solve addition and subtraction two-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why.

Ma4/2.3 Multiplication & Division

Ma4/2.3a recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12

Ma4/2.3b use place value, known and derived facts to multiply and divide mentally, including: multiplying by 0 and 1; dividing by 1; multiplying together 3 numbers

Ma4/2.3c recognise and use factor pairs and commutativity in mental calculations

Ma4/2.3d multiply two-digit and three-digit numbers by a one-digit number using formal written layout

Kids finishing yr 3 last month are (because of the shift in expectations with the new NC) at a disadvantage as the jump is much further than the previous year...they can appear further behind when, in reality, they are on or above last years expectations.

I taught Y3 this year and it was really tough getting them to where they need to be. Don't worry too much. Just make sure they know their x2, x3, x4, x5 by heart and are on to their x6, x7 and x8 times tables- try and show them links and patterns between x3 & x6, x4 and x8 etc.

Also, do some 'sharing' and 'lots of' in real life context using sweets, pencils etc...may seem simplistic but a really good, concrete way of reinforcing the principles of multiplication, division and fractions.

Children should have been taught the new curriculum in a Year 3 last year so shouldn't be disadvantaged.
