Word problems take over at the hard level. Multiple choice opens with a school that collected 378 cans in October and 456 in November before giving 295 away, then asks Maya how many of her 700-page goal is left after reading 245 + 318 pages. Another item makes students pick which of four sums (like 475 + 368) needs regrouping in both ones and tens. Part B fills in three-addend totals such as 256 + 389 + 147 and the demanding 1000 − 472.

Stacking word problems with multi-step subtraction prepares third graders for real-world money and measurement work.
