A complete Year 3 maths scheme for Key Stage 2

This Year 3 maths scheme of work provides a full set of planning and resources to support effective teaching across lower Key Stage 2. Each block is carefully sequenced using the White Rose small steps, helping pupils build understanding step by step.

In Year 3, pupils begin to use more formal written methods and apply their knowledge more independently. The scheme supports this transition through structured lessons that revisit key concepts while introducing new learning in a clear and manageable way.

Topics such as place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division and fractions are developed across the year, with opportunities for pupils to practise, apply and explain their understanding.

Planning, resources and assessment in one place

The scheme includes detailed lesson planning, interactive slides for whole-class teaching and differentiated worksheets to support all learners. This consistent structure helps you deliver lessons with confidence and reduces the need for additional preparation.

Assessment is built in through end-of-block tasks and revision materials, helping you track pupil progress and identify next steps. This ensures that learning is not only covered, but also understood and retained.

Supporting the move from Year 2 to Year 4

Year 3 is a key transition point in maths. Pupils move from Key Stage 1 approaches towards more structured and independent learning. This scheme supports that transition by building on prior knowledge while preparing pupils for the expectations of Year 4 and beyond.

With a clear progression and carefully designed resources, the Year 3 maths scheme helps pupils develop confidence and a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.
