Year 3 Ready-to-progress assessment
The ready-to-progress (RTP) assessment questions have been taken from the DfE primary mathematics
guidance 2020, and represent end of year expectations. Each RTP is presented as a separate document and
includes a set of varied questions that address different aspects of the concept to form a comprehensive
summative assessment. They can be merged to form an assessment of more than one RTP that a teacher
deems suitable for their pupils at a particular time and may, for example, be used at the end of a term to assess
the learning within that term. The RTPs for Year 3 are listed below in the order that they appear in the units of
work to support planning for their use. Some RTPs appear in more than one unit, and this is made clear in the
unit column.
Ready-to-progress criteria Unit
2AS–1 Add and subtract across 10 (taken from Y2 but included in Y3 unit 1). 1
3NF–1 Secure fluency in addition and subtraction facts that bridge 10, through continued practice. 1
3NPV–1 Know that 10 tens are equivalent to 1 hundred, and that 100 is 10 times the size of 10; 2
apply this to identify and work out how many 10s there are in other three-digit multiples of 10.
3NPV–2 Recognise the place value of each digit in three-digit numbers, and compose and 2
decompose three-digit numbers using standard and non-standard partitioning.
3NPV–3 Reason about the location of any three-digit number in the linear number system, including 2
identifying the previous and next multiple of 100 and 10.
3NPV–4 Divide 100 into 2, 4, 5 and 10 equal parts, and read scales/number lines marked in 2
multiples of 100 with 2, 4, 5 and 10 equal parts.
3AS–1 Calculate complements to 100. 2
3NF–3 Apply place-value knowledge to known additive and multiplicative number facts (scaling 2
facts by 10).
3G–1 Recognise right angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn, and identify right 3
angles in 2D shapes presented in different orientations.
3AS–3 Manipulate the additive relationship: Understand the inverse relationship between addition 4
and subtraction, and how both relate to the part–part–whole structure; Understand and use the
commutative property of addition and understand the related property for subtraction.
3AS–2 Add and subtract up to three-digit numbers using columnar methods. 5, 7
3MD–1 Apply known multiplication and division facts to solve contextual problems with different 6
structures, including quotitive and partitive division.
3NF–2 Recall multiplication facts, and corresponding division facts, in the 10, 5, 2, 4 and 8 6
multiplication tables, and recognise products in these multiplication tables as multiples of the
corresponding number.
3NF–3 Apply place-value knowledge to known additive and multiplicative number facts (scaling 6
facts by 10).

3F–1 Interpret and write proper fractions to represent 1 or several parts of a whole that is divided 8, 9
into equal parts.
3F–2 Find unit fractions of quantities using known division facts (multiplication tables fluency). 8
3F–3 Reason about the location of any fraction within 1 in the linear number system. 8, 9
3F–4 Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator, within 1. 9
3G–2 Draw polygons by joining marked points, and identify parallel and perpendicular sides 10
