NSPCC Number Day – Counting and Sequencing
A Year 3 maths activity for NSPCC Number Day using flower sequences to practise addition, subtraction and missing number problems, with a create-your-own challenge.
Description
This Year 3 maths activity for NSPCC Number Day helps children practise counting, addition and subtraction through a fun spring garden-themed challenge. Children explore number sequences to work out how many flowers in Leanna’s garden are hidden by a puddle. They use reasoning and pattern recognition to identify the missing flowers, developing confidence with number sequences and problem-solving skills.
The resource also includes an extension activity, where children design their own counting problems for a partner to solve. This encourages creativity, deeper understanding, and mathematical communication, making it ideal for Year 3 classrooms celebrating NSPCC Number Day.
