Free Money Math Practice for Grade 3

Money problems are decimal arithmetic dressed up in real-world clothing — and that disguise is exactly what makes them stick. By third grade, most kids can add and subtract two-digit numbers fluently, so the math itself isn't the hard part; the hard part is reading the word problem, deciding what to do, and remembering to put the dollar sign in the answer. Each problem here keeps the language simple (no obscure shopping scenarios) so the focus stays on the math. If your child struggles, give them play coins or real coins to act it out.
