Free Year 3 Worksheets & Resources (Australia)

48 free resources for Year 3 (ages 8–9): worksheets, study guides, tests and activities across 2 subjects.

Year 3 is a big year: students learn the multiplication facts, add and subtract three-digit numbers with regrouping, read time to the minute and begin unit fractions. In English they write longer narratives and persuasive pieces, learn speech marks and conjunctions, and sit NAPLAN for the first time. Times tables fluency is the single most valuable thing to practise.
