Year 3 maths worksheet: adding 3 numbers

Here we have another page of addition which looks at adding three numbers. Each number is a multiple of 5, but there is an extra twist in that children need to work out how many different additions can be made from the numbers available.

A systematic approach is needed, perhaps starting with the largest three numbers;

i.e. 75 + 65 + 55

then moving on to the next largest;

i.e. 75 + 65 + 45

and so on.

An important part of this is to understand that addition can be done in any order so 75 + 65 + 55 is the same as 55 + 65 + 75.
