In addition to reviewing and strengthening the skills learned in previous years, 3rd graders learn multiplication and division, explore fractions, calculate measurements, and more. Also, word problems for 3rd graders are often multi-step, requiring students to understand what operations to perform and how to perform them correctly. 

This list of 3rd grade math problems is intended to reinforce concepts students have already been taught. The list is divided into sections: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, measurement, and multi-step problems. These sections allow students to specifically focus their practice, but feel free to skip around and choose the 3rd grade math practice problems that best suit your child’s needs.

Logical reasoning worksheets for Grade 3: Free PDF downloads

Hello, and welcome to this interesting article about logical reasoning worksheets for grade 3 students! In this resource, we will share some free PDF downloads and activities you can use to help your students develop their logical reasoning skills.

Logical reasoning is an essential skill for grade 3 students, as it helps them to solve problems, make decisions, and understand the world around them. Logical reasoning also prepares them for more advanced math and science topics in the future.

Logical reasoning means using facts, rules, and patterns to draw conclusions or make predictions. For example, if you know that all dogs have four legs and see an animal with four legs, you can use logical reasoning to conclude that the animal is a dog.

Logical reasoning also helps you to find missing information or identify errors in reasoning. For example, if you know that 2 + 2 = 4, and someone tells you that 2 + 2 = 5, you can use logical reasoning to spot the mistake.

What topics are covered in the logical reasoning worksheets.

In Mathskills4kids.com, you’ll discover many topics covered in the logical reasoning worksheets for Grade 3: Free PDF downloads . But, in this article, we’ll discuss just six topics related to logical reasoning for grade 3 students. These topics are:

• Guess the number : This topic involves guessing a number based on clues another person gave. For example, if someone tells you that the number is between 10 and 20 and is divisible by 3, you can use logical reasoning to narrow down the possible numbers and guess the correct one.
• Smallest and greatest numbers : This topic involves finding the smallest or greatest number that can be formed by rearranging the digits of a given number. For example, if you are given the numbers 3769 and 9673, you can use logical reasoning to find that the smallest number is 3769 and the greatest number is 9673.
• Find the order : This topic involves finding the order of items based on clues given by another person. For example, if someone tells you that John is taller than Mary and Mary is taller than Tom, you can use logical reasoning to find that John is the tallest, followed by Mary, and then Tom.
• Age puzzles : This topic involves finding a person’s age based on clues from another person. For example, if someone tells you that their age is twice their brother's age, and their brother is 6 years old, you can use logical reasoning to find that their age is 12.
• How to find two numbers based on sum and difference : This topic involves finding two numbers based on their sum and difference . For example, if you know that the sum of two numbers is 10, and their difference is 2, you can use logical reasoning to find that the two numbers are 6 and 4.
• How to find two numbers based on product and quotient : This topic involves finding two numbers based on their product and quotient . For example, if you know that the product of two numbers is 12, and their quotient is 3, you can use logical reasoning to find that the two numbers are 4 and 3.

As said earlier, our logical reasoning worksheets for grade 3 students include the above topics. These worksheets are designed to help your students practice and improve their logical reasoning skills in a fun and engaging way.

Each worksheet contains several questions that test your student’s understanding of each topic. The worksheets also include answer keys and explanations for each question.

Problem-solving skills are necessary in all areas of life, and classroom problem solving activities can be a great way to get students prepped and ready to solve real problems in real life scenarios. Whether in school, work or in their social relationships, the ability to critically analyze a problem, map out all its elements and then prepare a workable solution is one of the most valuable skills one can acquire in life.

Educating your students about problem solving skills from an early age in school can be facilitated through classroom problem solving activities. Such endeavors encourage cognitive as well as social development, and can equip students with the tools they’ll need to address and solve problems throughout the rest of their lives. Here are five classroom problem solving activities your students are sure to benefit from as well as enjoy doing:

1. Brainstorm bonanza

Having your students create lists related to whatever you are currently studying can be a great way to help them to enrich their understanding of a topic while learning to problem-solve. For example, if you are studying a historical, current or fictional event that did not turn out favorably, have your students brainstorm ways that the protagonist or participants could have created a different, more positive outcome. They can brainstorm on paper individually or on a chalkboard or white board in front of the class.

2. Problem-solving as a group

Have your students create and decorate a medium-sized box with a slot in the top. Label the box “The Problem-Solving Box.” Invite students to anonymously write down and submit any problem or issue they might be having at school or at home, ones that they can’t seem to figure out on their own. Once or twice a week, have a student draw one of the items from the box and read it aloud. Then have the class as a group figure out the ideal way the student can address the issue and hopefully solve it.

3. Clue me in

This fun detective game encourages problem-solving, critical thinking and cognitive development. Collect a number of items that are associated with a specific profession, social trend, place, public figure, historical event, animal, etc. Assemble actual items (or pictures of items) that are commonly associated with the target answer. Place them all in a bag (five-10 clues should be sufficient.) Then have a student reach into the bag and one by one pull out clues. Choose a minimum number of clues they must draw out before making their first guess (two- three). After this, the student must venture a guess after each clue pulled until they guess correctly. See how quickly the student is able to solve the riddle.

4. Survivor scenarios

Create a pretend scenario for students that requires them to think creatively to make it through. An example might be getting stranded on an island, knowing that help will not arrive for three days. The group has a limited amount of food and water and must create shelter from items around the island. Encourage working together as a group and hearing out every child that has an idea about how to make it through the three days as safely and comfortably as possible.

5. Moral dilemma

Create a number of possible moral dilemmas your students might encounter in life, write them down, and place each item folded up in a bowl or bag. Some of the items might include things like, “I saw a good friend of mine shoplifting. What should I do?” or “The cashier gave me an extra $1.50 in change after I bought candy at the store. What should I do?” Have each student draw an item from the bag one by one, read it aloud, then tell the class their answer on the spot as to how they would handle the situation.

Classroom problem solving activities need not be dull and routine. Ideally, the problem solving activities you give your students will engage their senses and be genuinely fun to do. The activities and lessons learned will leave an impression on each child, increasing the likelihood that they will take the lesson forward into their everyday lives.

Building Social Skills in Grade 3: Free Activities for Positive Interaction

Welcome to my blog! As a Speech Language Pathologist and Social Emotional Learning expert, I understand the importance of social skills development in grade 3. This stage is crucial for children as they continue to develop their social interactions and navigate relationships with their peers. In this blog post, I will share free activities that can help build social skills in grade 3 students. These activities are designed to promote positive interaction and create a supportive learning environment.

Activity 1: Role-playing scenarios

Role-playing is an effective tool for teaching social skills as it allows students to practice real-life situations in a safe and controlled environment. By engaging in role-playing activities, grade 3 students can develop empathy, perspective-taking, and problem-solving skills. Here’s how you can incorporate role-playing into your classroom:

• Choose relevant scenarios: Select scenarios that are relatable to grade 3 students, such as sharing toys, resolving conflicts, or asking for help.
• Provide clear instructions: Explain the scenario to the students and assign roles to each participant.
• Encourage improvisation: Allow students to come up with their own responses and solutions during the role-play.
• Facilitate discussion: After each role-play, facilitate a discussion to reflect on the experience and discuss alternative approaches.

Remember to provide positive feedback and reinforcement throughout the activity to encourage students’ social growth.

Activity 2: Collaborative group projects

Collaborative group projects not only enhance academic learning but also foster social skills development. By working together towards a common goal, grade 3 students learn to communicate effectively, listen to others’ ideas, and resolve conflicts. Here’s how you can implement collaborative group projects:

• Choose meaningful projects: Select projects that require students to work together and contribute their unique strengths.
• Establish group norms: Set clear expectations for behavior, communication, and participation within the groups.
• Assign roles: Assign specific roles to each group member to ensure equal participation and accountability.
• Encourage reflection: After completing the project, facilitate a reflection session where students discuss their experiences and the challenges they faced as a group.

By engaging in collaborative group projects, grade 3 students develop essential social skills while also building their teamwork and problem-solving abilities.

Activity 3: Cooperative games

Cooperative games promote teamwork, communication, and collaboration among grade 3 students. These games require players to work together towards a common goal, fostering a sense of unity and shared responsibility. Here are some free cooperative games suitable for grade 3 students:

• The Human Knot: In this game, students stand in a circle, reach out and grab hands with two different people across the circle, and then work together to untangle the human knot without letting go of each other’s hands.
• Group Juggle: Students stand in a circle and pass a soft object, such as a ball or beanbag, to one another. The goal is to keep the object moving without dropping it.
• Save the Ship: Students work together to cross an imaginary “river” using limited resources (e.g., stepping stones, hula hoops). The goal is to get everyone safely across without anyone falling into the “water.”

During gameplay, emphasize the importance of teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. Encourage students to support and encourage each other throughout the game.

Activity 4: Storytelling and discussion circles

Storytelling is a powerful tool for social-emotional learning. Grade 3 students can learn valuable lessons about empathy, kindness, and friendship through engaging stories. Here’s how you can incorporate storytelling and discussion circles into your classroom:

• Choose age-appropriate stories: Select stories that are relatable to grade 3 students and convey important social messages.
• Read aloud: Read the story aloud to the students, using expressive voices and gestures to captivate their attention.
• Facilitate discussion: After reading the story, encourage students to share their thoughts, feelings, and personal connections to the story.
• Promote active listening: Teach students active listening skills, such as maintaining eye contact, asking clarifying questions, and summarizing others’ ideas.

Storytelling and discussion circles provide a safe space for grade 3 students to express themselves, develop empathy, and practice respectful communication.

Activity 5: Random acts of kindness

Kindness is a fundamental aspect of positive social interaction. By encouraging grade 3 students to perform random acts of kindness, we can foster a culture of empathy, compassion, and inclusivity. Here are some ideas for grade 3 students to perform random acts of kindness:

• Write a kind note: Students can write kind notes to their classmates, teachers, or family members, expressing appreciation or encouragement.
• Helping hand: Encourage students to offer help to their peers or teachers, such as carrying books, cleaning up, or assisting with tasks.
• Inclusive play: Encourage students to include others who may be feeling left out during recess or group activities.

After performing acts of kindness, facilitate a discussion to reflect on the impact of their actions and how it made them and others feel.

Building social skills in grade 3 is essential for students’ overall development and future success. By incorporating these free activities into your daily routines, you can create a positive and supportive learning environment where students can thrive socially and emotionally. Remember, social skills are lifelong skills that will benefit students in various aspects of their lives.
