Sum Those Three

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a collection of vertical addition problems, each comprising three single-digit numbers to be added together. The numbers are arranged in columns with a dedicated space for the student to write the answer below each problem. The structured format within individual boxes is designed to help students concentrate on one calculation at a time. A space is provided at the top for the student to write their name, suggesting that the worksheet is intended for individual use in a learning environment, either as practice or assessment.

This worksheet is aimed at teaching students how to add three numbers together, which is a slightly more advanced skill following basic single-digit addition. It helps students practice keeping track of sums that may be larger than ten, requiring them to mentally carry over to the next tens place. The exercise is designed to enhance students’ mental arithmetic skills and prepare them for future mathematical concepts, such as addition with larger numbers and introducing the concept of regrouping. Moreover, repetitive practice of such problems helps to improve the speed and accuracy of students’ addition skills.

Students can use this worksheet to help them find the best method for adding 3-digit numbers. This is a huge help to understand how to juggle a sum of three or more for the best.
