3rd Grade Math Word Problems Worksheets

Word problems for third grade.

Math word problems help deepen a student's understanding of mathematical concepts by relating mathematics to everyday life. 

These worksheets are best attempted after a student has studied the underlying skill; for example, our 'addition in columns" word problem worksheets should not be attempted until students are comfortable with addition in columns. 

In many of our word problems we intentionally include superfluous data , so that students need to read and think about the questions carefully, rather than simply applying a computation pattern to solve the problems.

Mixed 3rd grade word problems

The following worksheets contain a mix of grade 3 addition, subtraction, multiplication and division word problems .  Mixing math word problems tests the understanding mathematical concepts, as it forces students to analyze the situation rather than mechanically apply a solution.

Mixed word problems - mental math  

Mixed word problems - column math

Mixed word problems - simpler form   (shorter texts, no superfluous data)

Measurement word problems for grade 3

These word problems combine the 4 operations with real world units of length, time, volume and mass. There is no conversion of units.

Length word problems

Time word problems

Mass & weight word problems

Volume & capacity word problems.

Word problems with variables

These grade 3 word problems introduce students to using variables ("x, y, etc.") to represent unknowns. The problems are relatively simple, but emphasize the use of variables and the writing of equations.

Word problems with variables (variable is chosen for the student)

4. Try lots of different methods

Encourage your child to use different methods for solving addition and subtraction problems. These could include:

  • Partitioning numbers into parts to add or subtract. For example, to solve the problem 243 + 65, we could partition each number. Encourage your child to explain this to you, and perhaps model it to them first:
‘I partitioned 243 into 200, 40, and 3. Then, I partitioned 65 into 60 and 5. Then, I added the ones: 5 + 3 which equal 8. Then, I added the tens: 40 + 60 = 100. Then, I have the 200. So, I added the 200 to the 100, and then added the 8, to get a total of 308.’
  • Drawing pictures.
  • Using number lines or hundred squares.
  • Using written methods of column addition and subtraction.

Your child will understand subtraction as ‘taking away’ as well as ‘difference’. Methods could include:

  • Placing groups of objects into two rows to compare and find the difference.
  • Finding the difference between two numbers by counting back or counting up. For example, 27 – 18 could be interpreted as ‘what is the difference between 27 and 18?’ Your child may count back from 27 to 18 to find the difference of 9, or count up from 18 to 27 to find the difference of 9.

Problem-Solving Booklet: Year 3

Worksheets & Templates

Add to calendar

Add to favourites, description.

This Problem-Solving Booklet is a great resource for your students to practise utilising problem-solving skills.

This booklet has 18 pages of questions, having students apply addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication operations to answer the problem. Each page has the students identify the operation needed and the problem-solving strategy they will use, then record the number sentence to solve the problem. Some problems have multiple steps to extend students. It also contains two cover pages as it may be suitable to use with other year grades.

This would work well in small group activities, extension work, or as an independent task.
