Year 3 maths worksheets, free with answers.

Five printable worksheets from the Year 3 maths topics in the New Zealand Curriculum. Ten questions each, an answer page and worked solutions.

Updated 4 November 2026. Written and checked by the Study Compass team.

Each worksheet starts with two easy questions and finishes with two hard ones, so most Year 3 children can begin on their own and will have to think by the end. The answers print on a separate page, with a worked solution for every question, so you can mark it together.

A good habit: ask your child to explain how they got two or three of the answers. If the explanation is shaky, the worked solution shows one clear way to think it through.

Answers: Odd and even numbers: worksheet 1

  1. A: even 6 counters make 3 pairs with none left over. So 6 is even.
  2. A: odd 11 counters make 5 pairs and 1 is left over. So 11 is odd.
  3. D: 1006 1006 ends in 6, which is even. 109, 333 and 75 end in 9, 3 and 5, which are odd.
  4. 41 After 39 comes 40, which is even, then 41, which is odd.
  5. B: even Pairs plus pairs are still all pairs. So even + even is always even, like 4 + 6 = 10.
  6. B: odd The odd number has 1 left over, and the even number has none. So there is still 1 left over: odd. Like 3 + 4 = 7.
  7. 1 27 is odd. 26 children make 13 pairs and 1 child is left over.
  8. 14 27 + 1 = 28 people. 28 is even, and 28 makes 14 pairs.
  9. B: odd Two odds make an even. Then even + odd is odd. For example 1 + 3 + 5 = 9.
  10. C: 17 + 39 17 and 39 are both odd, and odd + odd is even. (17 + 39 = 56.) The others are odd + even, which are odd.

Study Compass · Year 3 maths

Answers: Choosing metric units: worksheet 1

  1. B: grams An apple is light, so we use grams. It is about 150 g.
  2. C: millilitres A glass holds a small amount, about 250 mL. So we use millilitres.
  3. C: kilograms A dog is heavy, so we use kilograms. A small dog might be about 8 kg.
  4. B: kilometres A car can go a long way in an hour. We use kilometres.
  5. D: 50 g, 500 g, 1 kg 1 kg is 1000 g. So the order is 50 g, 500 g, then 1000 g.
  6. A: 1 kg 1 kg is 1000 g, which is more than 900 g.
  7. 450 g 150 + 200 = 350. 350 + 100 = 450. So the total is 450 g.
  8. 2000 mL 1 L = 1000 mL. 2 L = 1000 + 1000 = 2000 mL.
  9. B: 99 cm, 2 m, 150 m, 1 km 99 cm is less than 1 m. Then 2 m, then 150 m. 1 km is 1000 m, the longest.
  10. 10 1 kg = 1000 g. Count in hundreds to 1000: that is 10 blocks.
