Math Drills
Various Word Problems worksheets for Grade 3 (Elementary School)
What this unit covers
Word problems that reach the answer by chaining two calculations are gathered here. Alongside patterns such as adding after multiplying, subtracting after dividing, and Total Cost, there are problems that recover two numbers from their sum and their difference, with the expressions set up in order.
Stopping halfway and writing the result of the first expression as the answer is the most frequent error. Checking whether the unit matches the quantity being asked for catches it. With Sum and Difference, children halve the total without subtracting the difference first, and the two numbers come out identical.
