Maths Year 3 Quick-Check resources! A growing bank of checklists and assessments that can be used to quickly assess children’s knowledge across all areas of maths.

These resources have been designed for efficiency, making it a time-saving option for homeschoolers. You can use these to identify areas your children may need to focus their learning efforts on.

Aligned to the National Curriculum learning objectives, you can use these as a guide as to what is expected for maths each academic year. Although, as homeschoolers, we don’t necessarily need to be concerned about matching age to year to learning objectives, these can be used to find out where your child is and focus on the next steps for progression.

These Quick-Check resources could also be used for regular revision allowing different areas of maths to be practised in short bursts.

If there is anything you would like to see added to these resources, let me know in the comments.

Answers included.

I hope this helps some of you out!

I hope you find these resources as useful as I do. While my own kids are beyond this stage of maths, I actually made these for me to use in the classroom. I have used these for many different reasons: to get my students to practice the content we covered in previous terms; to help me identify any gaps in their knowledge; to inform my planning as these Quick-Checks highlight any topics that I might need to go over again with the class.

I would love to know how you use these Quick-Check resources in your homeschool. Are there any other year groups that you would like to see resources made for? Let me know in the comments.
