Maths
We follow the Red Rose Mastery Maths Scheme of work at Reedley Primary School.
Autumn 1
Our units this half term are…
Week 1: Unit 1, Place Value, Addition and Subtraction
Week 2: Unit 1, Place Value, Addition and Subtraction
Children will begin to understand that in place value the position of the digit is important. In three-digit numbers, digits may be in the ones place or column, the tens place or column or the hundreds place or column. The digits allowed in each column are 0 to 9. When there are ten ones in a column, they should be exchanged for one ten and moved into the tens column to the left. When there are ten tens in a column, they should be exchanged for one hundred and moved into the hundreds column to the
left. When counting back, or subtracting, a hundred may need to be exchanged for ten tens to allow this to proceed. Similarly, a ten may need to be exchanged for ten ones.
Children begin to understand that one ten and ten ones have the same value and that one hundred and ten tens have the same value.
We have been using a range of different apparatus to partition, create, add and subtract numbers. The children enjoyed exploring different strategies that they can use to solve calculations.
Week 3: Unit 2, Length and Perimeter
The first time children learn about perimeter is in Year 3. We develop the children’s understanding of perimeter as a length around the outside of a shape. This is done initially by using straws to make the perimeter of different shapes, then by counting the length of the perimeter of a shape drawn on squared centimetre paper. The children really enjoyed the practical lessons using the straws.
Week 4: Unit 3, Statistics
By the end of the unit we were able to collect data in a tally chart and frequency table and use the data to draw a bar chart with a scale in
ones. Before we were able to interpreting bar charts it is useful for us to understand how they have been created so that the children have a clear understanding of the different elements of bar charts. The children were shown how to collect data in a tally chart. The children then learnt how to draw a bar chart from the data.
We collected data from our class in regards to the children's favourite fruit. We gathered the data in a tally chart and then created a bar chart showing our findings. She some of our fantastic work below:
Week 5: Unit 4, Addition and Subtraction
Week 6: Unit 4, Addition and Subtraction

In Year 3, we have been looking at column addition with and without exchnaginig.We dicussed how once we had ten ones we exchanged it for 1 ten stick, we were flying through our work! Have a look at some of our super work below:

After mastering column addition, we moved onto column subtraction. We faced some challenges with exchanging but once we understood that we exchange a ten (stick) for ten ones (cubes), we were experts!! Take a look at our work below:
Autumn 2

Week 1: Unit 4, Addition and Subtraction
Week 2: Unit 5, Multiplication tables (3× and 4×)
Week 3: Unit 5, Multiplication
Week 4: Unit 6, Division
Grouping and Sharing

The children learnt that division is the inverse of multiplication so once they realise this they were experst at answering questions. They were able to explain thier work by using phrases such as '3 lots of 4 is the same as 4 lots of 3'.
