What's included?
Targeted Year 3 resources for pupils to estimate numbers on a number line up to 1000, extending number sense and spatial reasoning to 3-digit numbers, a core KS2 Maths objective. Activities build deepening understanding of number magnitude by requiring pupils to place numbers approximately on a blank number line. This crucial small step supports mastery of number position and is vital for meeting national curriculum expectations. The CS Maths Scheme provides varied estimation challenges.
