ANY BOOKLISTS HERE ARE FOR THE OLDER WEEKLY PLANS – they are NOT for the new Flexible Blocks which have their own booklists accessible here: https://www.hamilton-trust.org.uk/blog/flexible-blocks-booklists/
Flexible Blocks
Maths: Hamilton's short maths blocks have all the benefits of our weekly plans. They also provide support and resources that were simply not possible when we produced the weekly plans. Find out about the advantages of short blocks.
Year 3 Maths Homework
For many parents, homework is the only picture they get of what their child does at school. For this reason, Hamilton have put a great deal of effort into writing suitable, fun and home-friendly activities for children and parents to share together. Children will benefit and so will parents and teachers!
The activities rehearse core numeracy skills that you may wish children to practise or keep on the boil. Read our maths homework blog for more advice about using them.

Multiply by five using their own strategies to work out the costs of five items, for example books or DVDs.

Match digital and analogue times to those written in words. Round to the nearest 5 minutes.
Practise simple arithmetic skills by performing a number trick on their friends and family.
Join the dots in a simple grid to make at least six different polygons. Explore 2-D shapes.
Practise doubling very large numbers to see how much money they could earn in a week! Understand how quickly an exponential series rises to very large numbers.
