Class 3 maths word problem worksheets that build confidence with multiples of 10 in addition, subtraction, and real-life situations.
Practice that builds confidence
What children practise
These Class 3 mathematics worksheets help children solve mixed word problems involving multiples of 10. Learners practise reading a situation, identifying the operation, and calculating with numbers such as 10, 20, 30, 40, and beyond.
The printable activities include real-life story sums, number reasoning, and mixed practice. Children learn to use place value and mental maths instead of treating every problem as a long written calculation.
This collection focuses on word problems where the important numbers are multiples of 10. Class 3 children use addition, subtraction, and simple comparison thinking in mixed situations. The aim is not only to calculate 30 + 40 or 90 - 20, but also to decide which calculation matches the story.
Place value behind multiples of 10
Multiples of 10 help children see tens as units. For example, 60 means 6 tens, and 80 means 8 tens. When children understand this, they can solve 60 + 20 by thinking 6 tens + 2 tens = 8 tens, so the answer is 80. This strengthens both mental maths and number sense.
A parent routine for home
Read one word problem aloud and ask your child to underline the question. Then ask, “Are we putting together, taking away, or comparing?” Let the child draw quick tens sticks or write the numbers in tens. After solving, ask them to say the answer in a full sentence, such as “There are 70 pencils altogether.”
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these worksheets for mixed word problem practice, revision, maths centres, homework, or small-group support. Since the numbers are friendly multiples of 10, the focus stays on understanding the language of the problem. Students can also sort problems by operation before solving them.
Common errors to watch for
Children may add when the problem asks for the difference, ignore words like left, more, fewer, or altogether, or write only a number without checking if it answers the question. Some may confuse 6 tens with 6 ones. Encourage them to circle the numbers and mark the action words before calculating.
