All the activities focus on adding and subtracting 3-digit numbers using the formal written method. The mastery activity requires children to decide for themselves whether to add or subtract and includes fun concepts such as Match Attax. It is available in two versions (stickers or plain A4) There are two more challenging or ‘Greater Depth’ activities for children who are secure at mastery level. These require more reasoning skills to solve the problems

These resources relate to the Year 3 Maths curriculum but could easily be tweaked to suit similar objectives in other year groups. The activities require children to use their reasoning skills and decide how to solve the problem e.g. count on or back? They place this skill in a fun context using objects that appeal to children’s interests (such as Shopkins) before moving onto more challenging problems. A fantastic resource for more able children to move onto! Please note, 2 of the files are formatted to print on stickers (11 per sheet) as this seems to be increasingly popular in schools but questions can be easily copy and pasted onto any format.
