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
- All times tables from 2 to 10, for example
3 · 6. - Division within and beyond the times tables, for example
72 : 8or36 : 2. - Addition within 20 and subtraction with two-digit numbers to 100.
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.
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.
| Problem | Answer = row | Shade square |
|---|---|---|
43 − 39 | 4 | F4 |
2 + 9 | 11 | M11 |
77 : 7 | 11 | C11 |
2 · 5 | 10 | H10 |
48 − 44 | 4 | I4 |
1 + 6 | 7 | B7 |
40 : 10 | 4 | G4 |
3 · 3 | 9 | N9 |
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 118 pictures to choose from (59 black-and-white, 59 in color). Depending on the picture, one worksheet has 22–110 problems.
Grade 3 worksheet FAQ
Can I practice only times tables?
Not yet. The 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.
