What this page practices

Read an original short story and choose the operation that solves it.

3.OA.A.3: Solve multiplication and division word problems within 100.

Practice supports the cited skill; the worksheet does not cover every aspect of the full standard. Read the source standard.

A useful way to practice

  1. Read the story twice. Say what is known and what is being asked, then write an equation before the answer.
  2. Ask for an estimate or a second way to check one answer. Keep the selected skill focused before increasing the number of items.
  3. Print at 100% scale and check that the paper size matches the PDF.

Can I include an answer key?

How do I get a different set of questions?

How should I choose the grade?

Grade labels are starting points. Ask for an estimate or a second way to check one answer. Keep the selected skill focused before increasing the number of items.

Can I use these in my classroom?

Yes. Print and share the original practice pages with your learners. The standard references describe the skill being practiced and do not replace your lesson planning.
