C of E Primary School
This term we are learning all about Time and Measurement (length, height, weight, mass, capacity, volume and temperature)
Tally Charts (Years 2 and 3)
- understand how to record numbers using tallies (including how to write multiples of 5).
- read and interpret tally charts to calculate individual and total scores .
Graphs (Years 2 and 3)
- draw, read and interpret pictograms (including those with scales in multiples of 2, 5 and 10),
- draw, read and interpret block diagrams.
- draw, read and interpret bar charts.
Tables (Year 3 only)
- understand how to draw a table to record different scores.
- read and interpret tables to answer a variety of questions.
Measure Capacity (Years 2 and 3)
- measure liquid in ml and l.
- compare and order liquid in terms of its capacity (volume).
- read scales in increments on 1, 2, 10 and 100.
- read scales in increments of 20, 25, and 50 (year 3 only).
Capacity Calculations (Years 2 and 3)
- Understand and recall how many millilitres (ml) are in a litre (l)
- Solve Capacity Word problems using addition and subtraction (+ - )
Measure Temperature (Years 2 and 3)
- measure temperature in °C.
- read scales in increments of 1, 2 and 10.
Measure Mass (Years 2 and 3)
- weigh items in g and kg.
- compare and order objects in terms of their mass (weight).
- read scales in increments on 1, 2, 5 and 10.
- read scales in increments of 20, 25, 50 and 100 (year 3 only).
Mass Calculations (Years 2 and 3)
- Understand and recall how many grams (g) are in a kilogram (kg)
- Solve Mass Word problems using addition and subtraction (+ - )
Reading scales in multiples including 20, 25, 50 and 100
(Year 3 only)
By the end of this week you should be able to:
Length Calculations (Years 2 and 3)
- Add lengths
- Subtract lengths
- Understand what perimeter is and measure the perimeter of a shape
- Calculate the perimeter of a shape (Year 3 only)
- Solve Measurement Word problems using the four operations (+ - x ÷)
You will need:
A 30cm ruler
A meter stick or tapemeasure
It’s important to print the ruler at the actual size of the file without any scaling. Set your printer to disable any scaling. Some computers such as Windows PCs may have a setting to set “page scaling” to “none” while others such as Mac computers may have an option to set the “scale” to “100%”, either of these options will work. Avoid using the “fit to page”, “scale to fit”, or “fill entire paper” options as these will cause the image to be printed larger or smaller than it’s actual size.
By the end of this week you should be able to:
Measuring Length (Years 2 and 3)
- Use different rulers to measure and order lengths in:
- cm
- m
- mm (Year 3 only)
Length Calculations (Years 2 and 3)
- Recall how many:
- cm in a m
- mm in a cm (Year 3 only)
- Convert between units of length and compare lengths of different measurements:
- cm and m
- mm and cm (Year 3 only)
Week 1 - Calculating Time
By the end of this week you should be able to:
Work from previous terms
- Be confident telling the time using analogue and digital clocks (see term 5, weeks 4-5)
- Recall time facts (see term 5, weeks 4-5)
Work from this term
- Convert between seconds, minutes and hours (e.g. how many seconds in 4 minutes)
- Calculate how long something has taken (duration).
- Calculate when an activity starts or finishes.
- Compare two lengths of time and know which is the shortest/longest (year 3 only).

Challenge
Explore the range of designs that can be created by shading whole squares of the grid to form different symmetrical patterns. How many can you find?
Challenge
Put the skills you have learnt to good use by doing some computer coding using position and direction! Click on the link below to take you a new page with a list of different apps/computer platforms/off-line options for you to choose from.

Activities
Matheletics
Miss Coleman will set 5 short Mathletics activities for you to do each week via the app.
(These will focus on what we have already learnt in class this year)
Times Table Rockstars
Practise your times tables in the garage, play a gig with your friends or challenge them or Miss Coleman to a Rock Slam.
Miss Coleman's Weekly Maths Challenge
Every week Miss Coleman will set a Maths challenge for those brave enough to solve it! Don't forget she'll want you to prove it!
