ANY BOOKLISTS HERE ARE FOR THE OLDER WEEKLY PLANS – they are NOT for the new Flexible Blocks which have their own booklists accessible here: https://www.hamilton-trust.org.uk/blog/flexible-blocks-booklists/
Flexible Blocks
Maths: Hamilton's short maths blocks have all the benefits of our weekly plans. They also provide support and resources that were simply not possible when we produced the weekly plans. Find out about the advantages of short blocks.
Problem-solving Investigations - Year 3/4
Hamilton provide weekly Mixed Year 3/4 maths problem-solving investigations (below). These mixed-age investigations below will be phased out when we phase out our mixed age weekly maths plans. Year 3/4 short maths blocks will be coming during Summer Term for September 2019 and will include investigations for every unit. Find out more about the timetable for Hamilton's Y3/4 maths blocks, including investigations.

Children investigate how many numbers between one and ten thousand have a zero.
Use numbers 0 to 7 (or multiples of 10 from 0 to 70) to make a total of 10 (or 100) on each side of a square.
Subtract a number which is the reverse of another, e.g. 62 - 26, or 462 - 264.
Children create specified 3-D shapes using 2-D representations and then combine these to create other 3-D shapes including a cube.
Children double numbers up to 10 (Y3) or 20 (Y4) and look for duplicate sequences.
Children use knowledge of inverse operations to quickly work out a sequence of calculations.
Children arrange the 'nearly numbers' in a square so that each row and column adds to Magic 147.
Year 3: Children subtract numbers with identical digits from 101, 102, 103...and look for patterns in the answers. Year 4: Children create 3-digit palindromic numbers with a 'hole' (i.e. a zero) in the middle. They subtract 3-digit numbers with equal numbers of 1s, 10s and 100s and identify patterns.
Children work out which times won't show correctly because of a faulty segment in the digital display.
Year 3: Children use their knowledge of the 3, 4, and 5 times tables to work out mystery numbers. Year 4: Children use their knowledge of the 5, 6, and 8 times tables to work out mystery numbers.
Children use their knowledge of fractions and tables to find mystery numbers.
