Camping Adventure: Addition and Subtraction Word Problems

Explore the great outdoors with these real-world word problems! In this worksheet, students will read six problems themed around a school camping trip. They will need to determine whether each problem requires them to add, subtract, or both, then use the chosen operation to find the answer. This worksheet includes numbers within 1,000, and some problems require regrouping. 

This worksheet for third-grade students is designed to help students apply what they know about addition and subtraction to real-world situations. Word problems can also improve students’ abilities to interpret math stories and use logical reasoning to decide how to solve problems.
