Written Methods
Add and subtract numbers with three digits using an informal written
method (see calculation policy)
 Add two three digit numbers using empty number lines and
expanded addition including additions that give a 10 in the 1s column
or 100 in the tens column
 Subtract using counting up on an empty number line.
Addition 26,27, 28 and 29
Subtraction 28, 29, 30, 31 and 32
Estimate the answer to a calculation and use the inverse operation to
check answers
Solve problems, including missing number problems, using number facts,
place value and more complex addition and subtraction
Calculation Policy
Addition
Children will continue to use empty number lines with increasingly large
numbers, including compensation where appropriate.
Level 3c moving to using numbers HTU
Count on from the largest number irrespective of the order of the
calculation.
38 + 86 = 124
Subtraction
Children will continue to use empty number lines with increasingly large
numbers.
Counting on – finding a difference
Children continue to count on to find the difference but move onto
making jumps to the nearest multiple of 10
Children continue to count on in the context of problem solving
e.g. Two snakes are 56 cm and 83 cm long. What is the difference in
their lengths

Measurement
(Measures and data)
Measure, compare, add and subtract length, mass (kg/g )and volume /
capacity (l/ml)
Measure the perimeter of simple 2D shapes

Fractions
Counting in ½ 1/3 ¼ and locate on a number line Count Fourways
Challenges- Software on staff shared
Recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects / shapes
using unit fractions (unit fractions – numerator is 1) and non unit
fractions (numerator is not 1) with a small denominator
Reconise and show using diagrams equivalent fractions with small
denominators e.g ½ - 2/4
Solve problems that involve all of the above.

NNS Unit Plan Unit 3
Children will continue to use repeated addition
Children will develop multiplication on an empty number line
6 x 4 = 24
Children should be able to model a multiplication calculation using an
array. This knowledge will support with the development of the grid
method.

Arrays
Children should be able to model a multiplication calculation using an
array. This knowledge will support with the development of the grid
method in the summer term.
Division
Ensure that the emphasis is now on grouping rather than sharing.
Children will continue to use:

Repeated subtraction using a number line
Children will use an empty number line to support their calculation.
Children should also move onto calculations involving remainders.
13 ÷ 4 = 3 r

Tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including using Roman
numerals from I to XII, and 12-hour and 24-hour clocks
Estimate and read time with increasing accuracy to the nearest minute;
record and compare time in terms of seconds, minutes, hours and o’clock;
Use vocabulary such as a.m./p.m., morning, afternoon, noon and midnight
Know the number of seconds in a minute and the number of days in each
month, year and leap year
