Cover page of Grade 3 Word Problems: 100 Canadian Situations

One hundred word problems for Grade 3: adding and subtracting to 1000, equal groups, sharing, two steps and remainders, set in Canadian schools, rinks and canoe trips. Ten pages and a full answer key.

Every problem is set somewhere a Canadian student knows: the rink, the canoe trip, the Terry Fox Run, the food bank drive, the school store. Prices are in Canadian dollars, measurements are metric, and cash totals round to the nearest 5¢. Each answer in the key was worked out and then checked a second way.

United States

Common Core Mathematics · 3.NBT.A.2Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Common Core Mathematics · 3.OA.A.1Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.
Common Core Mathematics · 3.OA.A.2Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.
Common Core Mathematics · 3.OA.A.3Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Common Core Mathematics · 3.OA.B.5Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide.
Common Core Mathematics · 3.OA.B.6Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8.
