Worksheets differentiated 3 ways (aimed at Year 3 pupils) to evidence problem solving skills using counting in 50s and 100s

A guide to bar modelling across all areas of maths and all year groups. Collated using a variety of quality sources (all referenced in the document) and from my own teaching experience and professional development as maths lead. Hopefully you will find it useful.

Designed for a Year 3 class modelled on the vocabulary and bar models used in White Rose Maths. 3 different activities look at using bar models for adding and subtracting (including finding the difference)

An own-design farmyard with lengths of fencing and a series of word problems (differentiated 3 ways) to encourage addition and subtraction of lengths. You can cover up the title of the farm when you photocopy it and make it your own!

Designed for Year 3 - a series of activities and a notebook looking at the progression of equivalent fractions with links to a fractions song and games. Also includes resources for an Nrich activity using a fraction wall. The different backgrounds on the notebook indicate different teaching days and the relevant worksheets are also attached. Differentiated three ways (mild, medium and spicy).

A set of loop cards for adding and subtracting fractions when the denominator is the same. Cut along the red and blue lines. Suitable for one each in a class of 30.

3 worksheets to practice measuring in cm and mm. Helps children see that cm are bigger than mm. Also is a good activity to gauge how children will cope with full conversions - it flagged up lots of misconceptions! 3 Worksheets to consolidate measurement conversions. Differentiated 3 ways (Mild, Medium, Spicy). True or false 'prove it' challenge cards as an extension using greater than and less than symbols. Initially designed for Year 3

Problem solving and code-cracking worksheet to show mastery of counting in 50s and 100s forwards and backwards. The children really enjoyed it and it helped link maths to our topic by using Ancient Egyptian numerals!

Great for mastery of place value and problem solving skills. Differentiated three ways - mild, medium and spicy Use the clues to crack the code and discover what the number is. The children really enjoyed writing their own too!

A progressive worksheet adding numbers to numberline ranging between 100 and 300, 2 forward, one counting backwards. Used for LA in a fluency lesson on numberlines.

A board game to help practicing subtracting fractions with the same denominator. Designed for Year 3s within a nature/environment topic. Also see the adding fractions star wars themed board game available on TES

Resources to support learning 4s and 8s times tables using doubling/halving flowcharts and techniques. A notebook to model the flow chart and support progression.

Sea-side themed (fish bubbles, turtle snap, harbour wall bar models) activities and work sheets to support developing of column subtraction starting with subtracting using a place value grid to spotting which number sentences can/can't be done. Activities follow a mild, medium, spicy structure of difficulty displayed by chilli pepper clipart. Also included: a notebook for the progression of skills.

Designed for Year 3 students. A series of documents (5) including questions for repeated practice and activities to deepen understanding and show mastery of column addition, for example spotting errors in calculations. Also included: a notebook with some examples of wrong calculations to discuss as a whole class.

Lesson starter > matching the activity to the length of time A practical experiment using stopwatches to measure and record a series of events. Plenary > putting lengths of times in the right order (could be used as a starter for second lesson)

Notebook progression of skills of written multiplication revisiting partitioning skills then using grid method and long multiplication. The notebook includes a dice game which can be presented either in their books or on a sheet of blank grids (also provided). For grid method, we did lots of practical examples using dienes and whiteboards and then moved on to pre-drawn grids which they drew the dienes in the right boxes. There are two maths investigations included for extending and deepening understanding.

Various activities looking at +/- 10 and 100, numberlines and missing values with some activities from the White Rose Maths Hub documents. Notebook includes a link to primary games.

An activity where pupils sort through a pile of cheques making sure they are filled in correctly e.g. writing the numbers as words and the words as numbers.

A notebook with clear progression from multiplication as repeated addition to arrays with an activity at the end (poster making) which the children completed in pairs and stuck up around the classroom. A document full of pictoral arrays - I printed loads of these out, spread them on the tables and children picked one up, stuck it in and wrote the array that matched.

Display information/prompt cards for table. A 'find me' game looking at the properties of 3D shapes. The multilink models were used in a lesson to generate discussion about looking at 3D shapes from different orientations.
