Year 3 Number Worksheets

Our comprehensive collection covers every essential number topic your students need to master. The worksheets include:

• Written Methods for Addition - We have found that once students master the column method, they feel like proper mathematicians and tackle much bigger numbers with confidence.

• Written Methods for Subtraction - Teaching decomposition can be tricky, but our step-by-step approach helps students understand why we "borrow" rather than just memorising the process.

• Multiplication and Division - These concepts click beautifully when students see the connection between grouping objects and times tables they already know.

• Number and Place Value - The lightbulb moment happens when children realise that 347 isn't just three random digits but three hundreds, four tens, and seven ones.

• Fractions, Decimals and Percentages - We start with pizza slices and chocolate bars (surprisingly effective!) before moving to the more abstract mathematical representations.

Each worksheet is carefully structured with progressive difficulty levels, helping students build confidence systematically. Our detailed answer sheets make marking straightforward and allow students to work independently while tracking their own progress.

Here's the brilliant thing about Year 3 number work - it connects to almost everything they do. In science, they're measuring and recording data using three-digit numbers. Geography lessons involve reading population figures and distances. Even art projects require calculating materials and measurements. It's actually quite satisfying when students start spotting these connections themselves!

• Reading bus timetables and calculating journey times

• Understanding sports scores and league tables

• Managing pocket money and calculating savings

• Following recipes and adjusting quantities for cooking

• Measuring materials for design technology projects

• Recording experimental results in science investigations
