Year 3 - Maths Target Sheets

A set of 6 target sheets designed to provide coverage of the maths curriculum for Year 3 in the UK but which can be adapted to suit other curricula.
Can be used at home or at school to provide a step by step approach to covering the different year group objectives. There are two complete sets provided; one has the year group printed on the top and the second set are simply numbered 1 – 6. Some educators prefer to clearly state which year group the targets are aimed at but other educators prefer to use them as a more individualised resource so that they children work at their own level and at their own pace.

Structure and Organisation
The targets are split into six sets for the year - one sheet per half term. This means that the average child would aim to complete one target sheet per half term which is approximately one target per week. These can be used as homework tasks or in school tasks or as a weekly challenge for home schoolers.
Each child is given the first target sheet at the beginning of the year and should work through the targets one by one.
These targets were not designed as an assessment tool but they can be used to track progress if so desired.

Assessment and Monitoring.
There are four boxes provided at the end of each target. The first is to be completed by a friend in school, the second by a parent and the third by an adult in school. Schools may choose to use all or just some of these boxes.
The aim is to reduce the work load for teachers and to empower parents to know what to work on with their child next. If used in connection with websites such as www.mathszone.co.uk or www.mathisfun.com, parents can select activities to work on with their children.
If groups of children are working on the same target, they can be tested together or testing can be done on a half termly basis or an individual basis.
