Year 3 Flexible Maths Blocks
Select Units for your Blocks
The National Curriculum content is arranged below in mathematical category blocks. Blocks are divided into units, each comprising a set of specific skills within that category. Autumn Term blocks are fully available and Spring blocks will follow shortly. You can navigate back to the weekly plans by selecting your year group on the red bar above.
Hamilton strongly advise teachers to tailor your teaching by teaching selected units in shorter blocks through the term to suit the needs of your class. Use the 'short blocks' button on the right to see our recommended route for progression through shorter blocks.
