Grade 3 math mystery pictures

Grade 3 worksheets practice all times tables and division while reviewing addition and subtraction. Every correct answer adds one square of the picture to the grid.

What grade 3 worksheets practice

Multiplication makes up roughly one problem in ten: answers are 18 at most, and few times-table facts have such a small product. Division appears about three times as often.

Common Core: 3.OA.C.7: multiply and divide within 100, with review of 2.OA.B.2 and 2.NBT.B.5.

Sample problems from a worksheet

This is part of a real worksheet. The answer is the grid row, the letter next to the problem is the column, and the child shades that square.

ProblemAnswer = rowShade square
43 − 394F4
2 + 911M11
77 ÷ 711C11
2 × 510H10
48 − 444I4
1 + 67B7
40 ÷ 104G4
3 × 39N9

Which grid and picture to choose

The 15×15 and 18×18 grids suit third graders best, with more problems and a more detailed picture. The 10×10 grid works as a quick warm-up.

There are 123 pictures to choose from (59 black-and-white, 64 in color). Depending on the picture, one worksheet has 22–110 problems.

Grade 3 worksheet FAQ

Can I practice only times tables?

Yes, on the Multiplication and division facts page. The grade 3 worksheets deliberately mix every operation third graders know, so earlier topics are not forgotten.

Is there division with remainders?

No. Every division comes out exactly.

How do I check a worksheet quickly?

Look at the picture. A wrong answer means a square outside the shape. For a detailed check, an answer key page is added at the end.
