Year 3 ACARA Mathematics
Number and Algebra Covered across the year Term 1,2,3 and 4.
Number and place value
Investigate the conditions required for a number to be odd or
even and identify odd and even numbers (ACMNA051)
Recognise, model, represent and order numbers to at least 10
000 (ACMNA052)
Apply place value to partition, rearrange and regroup numbers to
at least 10 000 to assist calculations and solve problems
(ACMNA053)
Recognise and explain the connection between addition and
subtraction (ACMNA054)
Recall addition facts for single-digit numbers and related
subtraction facts to develop increasingly efficient mental
strategies for computation (ACMNA055)
Recall multiplication facts of two, three, five and ten and related
division facts (ACMNA056)
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication using
efficient mental and written strategies and appropriate digital
technologies (ACNMA057)
Fractions and Decimals
Model and represent unit fractions including ½, ¼,1/3, 1/5 and
their multiples to a complete whole (ACMNA058)

Patterns and Algebra
Describe, continue, and create number patterns resulting from
performing addition or subtraction (ACMNA060)
Measurement and Geometry
Using units of measurement
Measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units

lists, tables, picture graphs and simple column graphs, with and
without the use of digital technologies (ACMSP069)
Interpret and compare data displays (ACMSP070)
Proficiencies Term 1 Term 2 Term 3 Term 4
Understanding
Includes connecting number representations with number
sequences, partitioning and combining numbers flexibly,
representing unit fractions, using appropriate language to
communicate times and identifying environmental symmetry.
Fluency
Includes recalling multiplication facts, using familiar metric units
to order and compare objects identifying and describing
outcomes of chance experiments, interpreting maps and
communicating positions.
Problem Solving
Includes formulating and modelling authentic situations involving
planning methods of data collection and representations, making
models of three-dimensional objects and using number
properties to continue number patterns,
Reasoning
Includes using generalizing from number properties and results
of calculations, comparing angles, creating and interpreting
variations in the results of data collections and data displays.
