This Grade 3 multiplication word problems worksheet stretches students with two-step problems. Four multiple-choice items combine equal groups with add or subtract steps, like 6 boxes of 9 crayons minus 3 broken or 4 bags of 8 marbles plus 5 extra. Five fill questions walk through each step carefully. Hints and why notes explain the Grade 3 order: multiply the factors first, then add or subtract to find the correct final total answer in this careful set.
