- Key takeaways
- In 3rd grade math, students develop a deeper understanding of multiplication and division, fractions, and measurements.
- Word problems for 3rd graders require more advanced comprehension skills.
- Place Value: Understanding place value helps us read and write numbers correctly and compare their values.
- Look for opportunities for your child to practice their math at home–worksheets, math games , or a math practice app will help strengthen new mathematical knowledge. While consistency is key, math practice for 3rd graders should be engaging and fun.

- Subtraction
- Multiplication
- Measurement
- Multi-step word problems
Answer sheet
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.

Solving Word Problems (Grades 3-6)
Our Solving Word Problems lesson plan for grades 3-6 provides students with more advanced strategies for solving word problems. Students learn how to use pictures or diagrams to solve word problems and how to solve word problems involving more advanced operations.
Description
Additional information.
Our Solving Word Problems (Grades 3-6) lesson plan strengthens strategies for solving word problems. This interactive lesson plan equips students to identify and define keywords and use pictures or diagrams for math problem solving (all operations). Students are asked to create word problems and use their presentation skills to share their problem-solving steps with the class. Students are also asked to individually complete practice problems in order to demonstrate their understanding of the lesson.
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify and define keywords and use pictures or diagrams for math problem solving (all operations).

Addition Problems with 3- and 4-digit numbers
Each sheet consists of adding two or three 3- or 4-digit numbers.
There is a space on each sheet for working out, so that your child can write out the problem and solve it.
We have split the worksheets up into 3-digit word problems and 4-digit word problems.
Using these sheets will help your child to:
- add up two or three numbers with 3 or 4 digits;
- solve addition word problems.
- extract the relevant information to solve an addition problem
The questions on the 3-digit sheets and 4-digit sheets are very similar to each other, so 4-digit addition problems sheets are very similar to the 3-digit addition problems sheets but with larger numbers.
The sheets get gradually harder within each section:
- Sheet 1 and 2 consist of solving basic problems with 2 addends.
- Sheet 3 consists of solving basic problems with 3 addends.
- Sheet 4 consists of selecting the correct information from a table of information to solve the addition problem (with 2 or 3 addends)
