What does Year 3 Spring Block 1 cover?
This multiplication and division block focuses on helping pupils develop efficient strategies for multiplying and dividing 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. Children practise both mental and formal written methods, including long division with remainders. This block also introduces important links between multiplication and division facts and supports fluency with known times tables.
Which multiplication and division strategies are taught?
Pupils explore repeated addition, grouping, partitioning, and formal column methods for multiplication. For division, they practise sharing and grouping, using partitioning for 2-digit numbers, and understanding what to do when there’s a remainder. These strategies support mastery of the 2, 5, 10, 3, 4 and 8 times tables, in line with the Year 3 curriculum.
How does this support White Rose Maths planning?
Our small steps and progression follow the White Rose Maths Spring Block 1 structure exactly, meaning the resources fit seamlessly into existing plans. Lessons build on prior knowledge while extending children’s understanding of multiplication and division problems in context.
