Year 3 Block A: - Suffolk Learning

12 of 20 The National Strategies ⏐ PrimaryYear 3 Block A: Counting, partitioning and calculatingObjectivesChildren's learning outcomes are emphasised• Describe and explain methods, choices andsolutions to puzzles and problems, orally and inwriting, using pictures and diagramsI can explain how I solve problems• Partition three-digit numbers into multiples of100, 10 and 1 in different waysI can split a number into hundreds, tens andonesI can explain how the digits in a number changewhen I count in 10s or 100s• Round two-digit or three-digit numbers to thenearest 10 or 100 and give estimates for theirsums and differencesI can round numbers to the nearest 10 or 100and estimate a sum or differenceAssessment for LearningTell me how you solved this problem. Did youmake any notes or drawings to help you? Can youdescribe them to me?Show me how to solve this problem, usingpractical objects. What is the cost of 12 stamps at5p each?Draw me a picture to show how to solve theproblem.Why is this a good mental method for adding 19?What is the difference between adding 19 andsubtracting 19, using this method? Show me whythis is, using a 100-square.Start at 93 and count back in tens. What will be thesmallest number that you reach on a 100-square?Will 54 be one of the numbers you would say?Why not?What do you look for when finding a number 100less than (or 100 more than) a given number?Count on in tens from 312. Which digits change?Why does the ones (units) digit not change? Whendoes the hundreds digit change, and whathappens to the tens digit in this case? Whathappens when you count back?If we count in 100s from 1, what is the pattern? Isthis the same or different when we count from 11or 111?Why does 76 become 80 when it is rounded to thenearest 10? Why does 249 become 200 whenrounded to the nearest 100?Round 249, 243 and 245 to the nearest 10. Explainwhy you decided to round 249 and 245 up to 250,and 243 down to 240.The answer to 44 + 38 is less than 100. Give me abetter estimate. How did you do it?Why is 38 + 24 approximately 60? Why is 51 – 27approximately 20?00543-2008DOM-EN-11 © Crown copyright 2009
