Year Three Maths Activities: Practical Challenges & Visual Mastery for Key Stage 2

Build real competence and confidence for ages 7–8 with the Year Three Maths Activities collection from Hands-On Education. This creative shop selection provides lesson packs, games, and printable resources to help children develop robust mathematical understanding and a love of learning in Key Stage 2.

Each Year Three Maths activity breaks down key curriculum areas—place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, time, money, 2D and 3D shapes, angles, measurement, and data handling—using clear visual scaffolds and active problem-solving. Children practise mental strategies, use manipulatives, and develop reasoning skills with hands-on games, cut-out resources, grid challenges, number puzzles, and sequencing tasks.

Real-world maths is at the heart of every resource—children calculate change, use recipes, explore time with daily routines, and track results in graph and table form. Projects encourage cross-curricular learning: geography tasks with coordinates, science experiments with measurement, or art-inspired investigations with shapes and patterns.

Each lesson pack is easy to use for teachers and families, with step-by-step instructions, fun extension ideas, and a range of printable sheets to suit all abilities and working styles. Children have repeated opportunities to practise and master concepts, supporting recall and flexible application as mathematical thinking advances.

Active exploration, visual prompts, word problems, group quizzes, and mastery tasks are all part of the mix—helping children spot connections, check answers, and build confidence. The collection is regularly refreshed with new seasonal content and creative challenges for every topic.
