Welcome to the Mashup Math 3rd Grade Math Worksheets Library! This complete collection includes over one hundred free third grade math worksheets that are organized by topic and level of difficulty. Each of the math worksheets for 3rd grade students was specifically designed to give third grade students practice and support as throughout the school year, no matter what math topic or skill they are learning. Each worksheet was created to be visually appealing, highly engaging, and appropriately challenging for students in the third grade.
The 3rd Grade Math Worksheets PDF library below is organized into 12 key math topics that every 3rd grade student must learn, including addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, place value and rounding, data charts and graphing, geometry, word problems, and more. Our practice worksheets are perfect for giving your students plenty of opportunities to practice, learn, and explore fundamental math skills that they will need in order to be successful at high levels of math when they reach middle school, high school, college, and beyond. If you want your students to be able to pursue mathematics and math-related careers later in life, then helping them to develop strong foundation skills early is key—this is where our worksheets come in.
What sets Mashup Math’s third grade worksheets apart from other worksheets that can be found online? The simple answer is that we emphasize deep thinking and meaningful engagement over repetition and monotony when designing our 3rd grade math worksheets. Our worksheets are specifically designed to cater to the needs and attention spans of 3rd grade students. You will not find an excessive amount of practice problems on our worksheets because this practice often leads students to see math as a boring, repetitive, and useless topic where success is dependent on memorization and doing the same procedure over and over again. Instead, our third grade math worksheets teach math in a fun way that gives students meaningful opportunities to explore math, apply their skills, and learn new things along the way.
If you and your students love the free sample math worksheets for 3rd grade below, then you can access our completed 3rd grade math worksheets library (and answer keys) by signing-up for one year of access to our K-8 math worksheet portal, where you will gain on-demand access to ALL of our grade-specific worksheet libraries for grades K-8.

Why Our 3rd Grade Math Worksheets Will Help Your Students:
The above library of 3rd Grade Math Worksheets were specifically created by licensed math teachers to give your third grade students an effective and engaging math learning and practice experience for all topics and skills covered in elementary math. We know that there are lots of options for worksheets out there, but we also know that not all worksheets are created the same and, sadly, many are only focused on making students perform rote and repetitive operations that require little thinking or actual learning. On the other hand, Mashup Math’s third grade math worksheets are designed to give students meaningful opportunities to practice, learn, and explore important foundational math topics like addition and subtraction, place value and rounding, and solving word problems. Each worksheet was carefully created with a focus on presenting topics in a way that is approachable and engaging for third graders while simultaneously being appropriately challenging, yet not being boring or overly repetitive. This way, students are way more likely to become interest in exploring and learning mathematics rather than seeing the subject as boring and not relevant to real life.
If you are new to Mashup Math activities, we highly recommend that you share some of the free math worksheets for 3rd grade students available at the top of this page either at home or in your classroom. We are confident that you will see that our worksheets and activities are appropriately challenging for students and have a proper amount of questions suitable to the attention span of a typical third grader. Our quality-over-quantity approach to designing math worksheets places emphasizes giving students meaningful opportunities to explore, practice, and learn math in a way that is not boring, monotonous, or overly repetitive. Rather, by presenting math topics in an engaging and approachable way, our 3rd grade math worksheets can be used to spark student interest in learning math at the elementary level and beyond.
Our third grade math worksheets are also designed to be implemented in a way that allows students to work at their own pace. At Mashup Math, we believe that learning math is not a race and that rushing students can disrupt them from learning. By giving your students opportunities to work on math at their own pace, you are allowing them to explore, interact with, and learn the subject without the anxiety of feeling like they could be left behind. While allowing students to work at an appropriate pace may seem intuitive, far too many educators require that students solve too many problems in too short of an amount of time. If the goal is learning and understanding, then it is crucial that students be allowed to practice and learn math at their own pace, and our 3rd grade math worksheets are a great tool for doing just that.

There are tons of ways to use our 3rd grade math worksheets with your kids both at home and in your classroom. A few examples of how they can effectively be used are supplementing your instruction, giving students extra practice, warm-up activities, exit tickets, homework assignment, and reviewing for assessments and exams. When used correctly, the worksheets are an awesome tool for improving your lesson plans, self-paced learning, and giving students opportunities to explore math topics and learn on their own.
No matter how you use the worksheets, the number one goal should always be to provide students meaningful learning experiences that are appropriately engaging and challenging without being overly repetitive or boring. Why is this so important? Because when students have a negative experience with learning math a young age, they often learn to view mathematics as a boring and monotonous subject that is dull and lifeless, which often leads them to give up on the subject by the time they enter high school.
It should also be noted that Mashup Math Third Grade Math Worksheets can be used with any math curriculum or learning standards. Since all of the worksheets are organized by math topics typically covered in grades 1-4, you can use our free worksheets in whatever way best serves your needs.
Lastly, as we have previously mentioned, we believe that students should have the opportunity to explore math topics and make connections and deep understanding of mathematics. Since third graders are curious learners, effective teachers can channel their enthusiasm and curiosity into learning activities that allow students to explore math and find meanings on their own. Since there is rarely just one way to solve a math problem, we design our worksheets in a way that lets students develop understanding on their own and solve problems in ways that coordinate with how they understand a given topic or skill.
When used correctly, math practice worksheets are an effective tool that should hold a place in every teacher’s tool belt. When you give your third graders meaningful opportunities to explore, practice, and learn math in fun, approachable, and engaging ways, you are setting them up to be successful in mathematics at the elementary level and beyond.
When 3rd grade students are given the opportunity to practice, learn, and explore mathematics in a fun and engaging way, they are much more likely to stick with mathematics at higher grade levels and, as a result, they will have access to considerably more career opportunities by the time they reach college and beyond.
