Term 6 Week 1 - starting Monday 1st June
Hello Year 3,
Welcome back - I hope you had a relaxing half term.
This week in maths will be going over the topic of Adding and Subtracting again to make sure we have remembered what we learned before.
There will be a powerpoint which is really clear to follow with a voice that explains everything on the slide.
If you have any problems just email me at s.lewis@helmdon.org and I will help you as much as I can.
Each lesson should take you an hour - just like at school.
Times tables:
Please carry on practising your x3 x4 x8 times tables every day. If you have mastered these then pleaase message me and I'll reset your TT Rockstars to include other tables.
Ask an adult to test you. Use TT Rockstars or Hit the Button to help you. Learn the related division facts.
Mathletics:
I will be adding lots of activities but do not feel you have to complete all of them in one go!
SUMDOG
Please keep using this website as every week I will add fresh activities. This week is an Addition and Subtraction Challenge.
I can see from my computer how you are getting on with this - so Good Luck!
Monday
Today we are looking at Adding two 3-digit numbers
Like before, there is a voice that explains everything on the slide. Sometimes the voice will tell you to pause the slides and answer some questions on the worksheet before you carry on listening. For the independent activity (the worksheet), make sure you don't Get the Answers' until you have finished all the questions.
Tuesday
Today is Lesson 2 – Subtracting a 3 digit number from a 3-digit number with no exchange

2. Stop where he tells you and work through the questions on the worksheet
When you have finished all of the questions click on the Answers to see if you are right.
Wednesday
Today is Lesson 3 – Subtracting a 3 digit number from a 3-digit number with exchange
This is slightly more tricky than yesterday but when we did this in class we did brilliantly, so listen carefully to the man on the slides and do your best on the worksheet.
Good luck!

Today you are going to practise the skill of estimating to work out approximately what the answer will be to a calculation.
Today you are going to continue to use the website called sumdog.com where I have set you an Adding and Subtracting challenge. I will check in to see how you are getting on - if you are getting on well with the challenge I may be able to send you a 'reward' !

Instructions about the times tables
The children are used to completing the times table grids on a Friday. They are given 6 minutes to complete the sheet and are encouraged to start with the 3's and work along as knowing the 3, 4 and 8 times tables is a year 3 goal.
