Description

This resource features 30 Addition Word Problems with Three Addends.

These activities are ideal for use during group instruction, as independent work packets, as journal pages, for morning work, and/or as homework.

Each page is presented both in color and in an ink saving black and white version.

A cover is included for use in distance learning packs or math journals.

Using the new TpT Digital Tool, this resource can be assigned through Google Classroom. Click Create Digital Activity, just below the download button, to get started.

Each sheet includes an extension/bonus question at the bottom of the page.

These bonus questions can be used in a variety of ways. They are perfect for use as extension activities for students to discuss and complete at home with a family member.

When these word problems are used for whole-group instruction, it is common for some students to have completed tasks while others still need support.

“Early finishers” can read the bonus question, flip their paper over, and work on this challenge question while the teacher provides individual and/or small group instruction as needed.

In this way, these bonus questions help teachers differentiate during group lessons.

These Word Problems Support The Following Common Core Standard:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A.2: Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Many thanks for stopping by and taking a look!
