Year 3 Christmas maths worksheets

Australian Curriculum v9.0Dollars and cents, metric, A4Answer key computed in code

A free 3-page Christmas maths booklet for Year 3, set in an Australian summer Christmas. Multiplication and rounding warm-ups, adding and subtracting three-digit numbers in context, multiplication and division stories using the 3, 4, 5 and 10 facts, unit fractions of a collection, change from the Christmas stall and am and pm durations. Print it for the class, turn on the answer key for marking, or switch edition for a fresh set with the same skills.

How to use it in class

  • Page 1 is fluency; page 2 is problem solving, so ask for a number sentence as well as the answer.
  • Use the money page for a quick lesson on giving change by counting on.
  • The whole booklet fits a double maths lesson, or one page a day in the last week of term.

Is it right for my class?

Aimed at Year 3 by the end of Term 4. For students still consolidating their facts, the Year 2 booklet revises equal groups with smaller numbers.

27 questions over 3 pages. After the warm-up the pages are story problems, so students read more there; read them aloud for early readers.

Edition:Each edition has different numbers and the same skills.
