3-Digit Addition Worksheets
What this skill is
Adding three-digit numbers with regrouping in one or both columns.
When it comes up: Third grade.
The mistake to watch for
Regrouping the ones correctly, then forgetting the carried digit when the tens also cross ten.
How to help
Write the carried digit above the column before adding, not after. It is easy to forget a number held only in the head.
Next: Three-digit subtraction.
A worked example
Try 346 + 278. Ones: 6 + 8 = 14, write 4 and carry 1 ten. Tens: 4 + 7 + 1 = 12, write 2 and carry 1 hundred. Hundreds: 3 + 2 + 1 = 6. The answer is 624.
Words to know
- regroup
- To trade 10 ones for 1 ten (or 1 ten for 10 ones) when you add or subtract.
- hundred

- digit
- One of the ten number symbols 0 to 9. The number 47 has two digits.
- sum
- The answer you get when you add.
- estimate
- To find an answer that is close, without doing the exact work.
Practice
Add. Regroup when you need to.
