Develop pupils’ understanding of multiplication and division in Year 3 with this fully resourced maths block, aligned with White Rose Maths and the Year 3 National Curriculum. This unit introduces multiplication and division through equal groups, arrays, multiples and times tables, helping pupils build a secure understanding of how the two operations are connected.
Pupils begin by making and describing equal groups and using arrays to represent multiplication before identifying multiples and exploring sharing and grouping for division. They then develop fluency with the 3, 4 and 8 times tables while applying multiplication and division facts to solve increasingly complex problems.
The sequence supports fluency, reasoning and problem-solving while helping pupils move from practical representations towards efficient mental and written methods.
These Year 3 multiplication and division resources form part of our complete Maths Masters scheme. Explore the full Autumn term sequence for structured progression, interactive teaching slides and differentiated maths activities.
