Planning a Unit in mathematics
Unit: Year 3 Block D2 - Calculating, measuring and understanding shape
Learning objectives - Most children will learn to:
1. Represent the information in a puzzle or
problem using numbers, images or diagrams;
use these to find a solution and present it in
context, where appropriate using .p notation or
units of measure
2. Add or subtract mentally combinations of onedigit and two-digit numbers
3. Develop and use written methods to record,
support or explain addition and subtraction of
two-digit and three-digit numbers
4. Use practical and informal written methods to
multiply and divide two-digit numbers (e.g. 13
3, 50
4); round remainders up or down,
depending on the context
5. Find unit fractions of numbers and quantities
(e.g. , , and of 12 litres)
6. Draw and complete shapes with reflective
symmetry; draw the reflection of a shape in a
mirror line along one side
7. Read and record the vocabulary of position,
direction and movement, using the four
compass directions to describe movement
about a grid
8. Use a set-square to draw right angles and to
identify right angles in 2-D shapes; compare
angles with a right angle; recognise that a
straight line is equivalent to two right angles
9. Know the relationships between kilometres and
metres, metres and centimetres, kilograms and
grams, litres and millilitres; choose and use
appropriate units to estimate, measure and
record measurements
10. Explain a process or present information,
ensuring items are clearly sequenced, relevant
details are included and accounts ended
effectively

Building on previous learning
Check that children can already:
Children's targets
1. I can draw a picture, make jottings or write
calculations to help me answer a problem
2. I can add or subtract two 2-digit numbers. I
know how to find the difference between two
2-digit numbers
3. I can record how I work out an addition or
subtraction calculation showing each step
4. I can multiply a 'teen' number by a one-digit
number. I can divide a two-digit number by a
one-digit number
5. I can use division to find , , and of a
measurement
6. I can reflect a shape in one of its sides
7. I can follow and give instructions to make
turns
8. I can identify right angles in shapes and use a
set-square to check
9. I know how many cm make 1 metre and how
many metres make 1 km. I can decide
whether a length would be measured in
centimetres, metres or kilometers
10. I can give and follow instructions to make
turns
