This Year 3 Adding 'super-', 'anti-' and 'auto' lesson covers the prior learning of using root words, prefixes and suffixes before moving onto the main skill of using the prefixes super-, anti- and auto-.
The lesson starts with a prior learning activity to check pupils’ understanding. If they need more practice, you can choose other resources for that step. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill.
