Free printable Grade 3 word problems worksheets (Ontario)
A Grade 3 word-problem worksheet is where the operations have to be chosen, not just computed. Ontario expectation B2.5 asks students to solve everyday problems with addition, subtraction, and equal groups. The printable preview gives away 6 beads from a set of 30, splits 12 marbles between Omar and Henry when Omar has 4, and combines 5 boxes of 6 markers with 8 more found later. A ribbon question is the measurement one families ask for: a roll of 9 m, with 110 cm used, and the leftover asked in centimetres. Equal sharing appears as 88 stickers among 8 friends. Comparison appears as Grace having 6 fewer cards than Tara. Each story names the people and the objects; the student picks the operation.

What kinds of Grade 3 word problems are on this page?
One-step change, a missing part, equal groups, equal sharing, a comparison, and a two-step story. One item also mixes metres and centimetres of ribbon.
Do these word problems match a specific Ontario code?
Yes. B2.5 is the Grade 3 outcome for everyday problems using addition, subtraction, and equal-group situations. The questions are unofficial practice, not a ministry test.
Are Grade 3 word problems only one step?
Several are one step, such as 30 beads with 6 given away. The marker story uses boxes of 6 and then 8 more, so students have to keep both steps.
