Fractions
This term the children are building on their previous learning in fractions. Children build on their understanding of numerators and denominators to unitise and add fractions. They read calculations such as 1 /5 + 2 /5 as “1 fifth plus 2 fifths” and unitise the fifth to determine that the answer is 3 fifths, or 3/ 5. They should recognise that adding unit fractions with the same denominator creates a non-unit fraction.
In year 3 we have daily times tables challenges and weekly number bond games to support fluency in numbers. The children in year 3 are tested weekly on their times tables.
You can help your child by checking their times tables homework and encouraging them to practice their skills on Times Tables Rockstars.
