This Year 3 Add and Subtract Capacities resource provides children a brisk reminder of addition and subtraction before they take on the Add and Subtract Capacities step. With questions from both the Year 3 Add 2-Digit and 3-Digit Numbers and the Year 3 Subtract a 2-Digit Number from 3-Digits steps, this resource provides six different tasks and combines varied fluency and reasoning and problem-solving skills. Once they've grasped these and are feeling secure, children can approach the capacities step with much more confidence.
