Plan, Estimate, Check – Year 3 Maths Unit

Teach children to plan a practical event using duration relationships. The unit begins with a complete 60-minute showcase model, then builds from guided estimation to independent plans that include transition time. Students check the total, revise an overrun and use observed evidence to explain which estimates were uncertain. The teaching sequence distinguishes time of day from elapsed duration.
