This challenging worksheet asks third graders to manage larger quantities across two steps. Multiple-choice questions tackle a warehouse shipping 84 of 6 crates of 25 water jugs, a school tying 48 red plus 72 blue balloons into bunches of 6, and a bike shop selling 58 helmets in June and 47 in July from 175. Fill-in problems track 8 classes of 24 students with 47 absent, three friends pooling $35, $45, and $40 to split equally, and a factory packing 9 boxes of 11 toys plus 19 loose toys.
Working through these builds the precision and stamina needed for fourth-grade word problems.
