Below is a list of counting challenges and activities which you will be completing in Year 3. Can you try any of them at home?

Counting challenges:
count from 0 in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100
count in, and use, steps of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 50 and 100
find 10 or 100 more or less than a given number
count up and down in tenths
Suggested activities:
● Paper or interactive 100 square-predict and highlight next number in
pattern
● Counting money in 50p or £1 (using 100p)
● Count money in similar coin values.
● Count mixed coin values.
● Base 10 blocks/straws and Numicon shapes to find 10 or 100 more
● Activities to select generate different points to begin and end counts
e.g. using dice, cards, feely bag
continue to count on in 3s from 18, back from 27 to zero
count on in 10s from 150, back from 270
count on in 100s from 125, back from 665
count on in 2s from 17, back from 45
● Counting sequences written and oral e.g.
, 430, 420, 410, , __,
, 7/10 , 8/10, 9/10, ,1 1/10, 1 2/10, __
● Order numbers relating to counting in 3s, 4s, 8s e.g.
15, 21, 24, 30, 18, 27
24, 12, 32, 16, 36, 28
56, 48, 24, 32, 16, 40
● Ball catch around the class for different counting patterns/Pass the
clap around the circle for different counting patterns/Loop card
counting for different counting patterns
● Use interactive calculator that has been set up to + number of the
count….can the children predict the next number
● Counting choir- groups of children to count in different patterns
(differentiated) start with 0 first group count in 5s to 20….now next
group continue in 5s (till you reach an appropriate multiple of your next
pattern- don’t stop at 35 if you want to count in 4s next!)….. now next
group continue in 4s etc.
