Fall math word problems for 3rd grade

Word problems show whether a child can use the math they know. In 3rd grade the stories mix adding, subtracting and multiplying, so reading carefully is half the work.

This single fall page has 6 story problems that need adding, subtracting or multiplying, with an answer key. The Math Word Problems pack has 20 pages that go from addition and subtraction to multiplication and division, time and money, and two-step problems.

It is a good Thanksgiving-week page: short, themed, and easy to discuss together.

What you get

This is a single worksheet: one practice page and its answer key, with a short how-to page and a cover page, as a US Letter PDF (A4 works with fit to page). Download it right after checkout and print as many copies as you need for your family or one classroom.

Tips

• Draw a bar model or quick picture for each story.
• Write the number sentence before solving.
• Ask a child to make up one fall story problem of their own.
