Maths Game: Counting fish (counting up to 10)
Our next fun counting game is a little bit harder as it involves counting up to 10. Be careful when counting the fish as some may be hiding behind others (they are very shy fish and don’t want to be caught!). remeber that you can print out a colouring sheet when you have played the game. Only 5 questions to answer!

Free Y3 maths worksheets: Counting in tens
In year 3 the work on counting in tens will continue, but will become much harder as children are expected to be able to count in tens crossing the hundreds boundary. (This means, for example counting on in tens from 80: 90, 100 110 etc and then from 87: 97, 107, 117 etc.)
A good understanding of place value is needed as children can become muddled when crossing this hundreds boundary.
