KS2 maths curriculum

Year 3 maths curriculum

Place value to 1,000, column addition and subtraction, the 3, 4 and 8 times tables, tenths, right angles, and reading bar charts and pictograms.

What Year 3 covers

  • Place value in three digit numbers, and comparing and ordering numbers to 1,000
  • Column addition and subtraction with up to three digits
  • The 3, 4 and 8 times tables, and the division facts that go with them
  • Counting in tenths, and adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator
  • Right angles and turns, and naming 2D and 3D shapes
  • Reading bar charts, pictograms and tables, and answering questions from them

The Key Stage 2 tests are sat in the May of Year 6, so a Year 3 child has 3 more school years before the papers. Everything here is groundwork the later years lean on.

The 10 lessons that cover it

Every lesson sits in the school year the National Curriculum first teaches it, and lessons are revisited and extended after that. Lesson numbers are positions in the teaching order, so a year's lessons are not one unbroken run.
