FAQs about Year 3 maths

Year 3 students should be comfortable with their 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables. They should be able to work with fractions in a variety of ways and should be growing in confidence as they use various mental and written strategies. 

They should also know how to tell the time to the nearest minute and learn how to calculate the perimeter of simple shapes like squares or rectangles.

There is a long list of statutory requirements that Year 3 students must meet before the end of the year. For a full overview of everything your child needs to know, take a look at our full Year 3 curriculum overview!

No need to panic – there are no maths assessments in Year 3! Students will instead be carefully and continuously assessed by their class teachers as they move through the year.

As your child progresses with their maths through Year 3, there are many ways to help them. Taking time for a little daily practice of their multiplication tables or time-telling skills for example is a great start. 

The DoodleLearning maths app is a superb way to encourage even the most reluctant of learners to get in some all-important practice. With thousands of interactive maths games, there’s sure to be something they’ll love!
