Year 3 have been learning about numbers to 1,000. We’ve learnt about 3 digit numbers, how to read them, partition and manipulate them!
We’re moving onto our addition journey now and to help your child feel confident in using methods like column addition, they need to be secure with these facts.
These number facts are beyond 10 and there are lots of different strategies to work them out.
For example:
6 + 5
If I know 5 + 5 is 10, 1 more is 11.
Or
If I know 6 + 6 is 12, 1 less is 11.
9 + 4
If I know 9 + 1 is 10, 3 more is 13.
Help at home by practising these numbers facts colour by colour as these will really help when we come to addition with 3 digit numbers!
