A second arithmetic test that uses the Year 3 objectives to test their arithmetic skills.

A test that covers the new Year 3 Maths Curriculum. 30 arithmetic questions that will test a range of abilities. I have used this with my present Year 3 class.

A PPT that is an ideal starter for a Year 3 class topic on Magnets. Use the resource as an introduction and adapt investigations to this ppt.

Simple words to start a Year 3 Magnets topic.

An open ended investigation where children get to predict what is magnetic in the classroom. Designed for the Year 3 topic on Forces and magnets.

A resource used for Year 3 children which was part of a project that built a Predator Park. This is a lesson that encourages discussion and preconcieved ideas.

A series of pictures which demonstrate how I inspired a Year 3 class. They were poor, unenthusiastic writers, but this lesson got them quite excited. In groups of 3 they were working on describing a setting, based on a small village, river and mountain. Most pictures had 3 differentiated activities and some were just one paragraph of writing. The lesson took place over 2 writing lessons.

This is a tracking resource that I have developed within our school. Each child is targeted at a level based on their previous KS. We have a 9 point system with 1-3 being below, 4-6 being on track and 7-9 GDS. These are tracked termly and as well as attainment you can also measure progress over the Key Stage.

An excellent way of tracking within the primary school. This can be used to track children in any year group. When I use the Venn Diagram I place tracing paper over the top to show how they have improved. This also forms part of any Pupil Progress meetings I have with my staff.

An excellent lesson for a class who either has low self esteem, or some behaviour difficulties. As a Deputy Head I have used this many times with my classes. Sometimes it descends into organised chaos with children loving the compliments.

An excellent short 20 question arithmetic test for year 3 or 4. This can be used as a starter or assessment tool at the end of the addition and subtraction objective. 10 addition and 10 subtraction questions that are set out like SATs papers.

A useful tool for Year 5 children which follows the objectives for short multiplication. Set out as the SATs arithmetic paper is. Answers provided.

A Year 3 Maths resource. The original lesson focuses on the creative activity of building a Predator Park with a budget. This was specifically a maths lesson, but can easily be turned into a cross curricular lesson with ICT and DT. Originally intended for a top year 3 maths group this PPT can be used for discussion about budgets and why certain animals cost more than others.
