Printable 3rd grade worksheets
Eight and nine: division, the first fractions, area and the measures that go with it, and the ⅜ ruling that has a top line and a baseline and nothing in between. Grammar becomes a subject of its own rather than something corrected in passing.

Where to start
Three worth printing this week, out of everything below.
- Division facts, 1 to 12 — The facts that undo the tables, with the key on the page behind.
- The cursive alphabet, capital and small — The joined alphabet, in whichever of the three models you were taught.
- Parts of speech — Nouns, verbs and adjectives, with the answers written down by a person.
Everything for ages 8 and 9
107 sheets across 10 shelves, and each of them is a page that is itself the sheet — open it, press print, and that is the whole of it.
Math
Worksheets from adding to twenty through to word problems, each with its answer key on the page behind it.
Handwriting
Letters traced, then copied, then written on an empty line — the same three steps at every size of ruling.
Cursive
The same progression again in a joined hand, including the page printing never needed — the joins themselves.
Penmanship
For the child who can form every letter and still hands in a page nobody can read: strokes, sizes, spaces, judging your own work, and the alphabet against the clock.
Bible
Scripture copywork, handwriting and memory work: the sheets above with a passage on them, in a public-domain translation.
Spelling
This week’s list in five shapes, the first sight words, and the pages on how words are put together.
Grammar
How a sentence is put together — the parts of speech, its two halves, what it is for, and the marks that finish it.
Charts and grids
References with nothing on them to answer: hundred charts, number lines, coordinate grids and place-value columns.
Forms and planners
The paperwork a week needs — logs, reports, calendars, charts, certificates and cards. Supposed to be empty.
Paper
Ruled paper by the sheet: notebook rules, the five handwriting sizes, and squares, dots and triangles.
What third grade means on this page
The ages come off each sheet, not off a standard we do not have.
Division here is the short kind — facts that undo the times tables — and equivalent fractions sit beside it for a reason. Both are the same idea approached twice: that a quantity can be cut into equal parts and named. A child who is fluent with the tables meets neither as a new fact, which is the whole argument for having spent the year before on them.
The transitional ruling is the quiet event of this year. Three eighths of an inch, top line and baseline, no midline — the sheet stops telling a child how tall a letter is, because by now they know. It is the last ruling before ordinary lined paper, and printing both and writing the same sentence on each is a fair way to see whether someone is ready.
No sheet on this site is assigned to a school year. Each one states the ages it was drawn for on its own page — Ages 8–11 on the division worksheet, because that is who those numbers suit — and this page collects the sheets whose stated ages reach 8 or 9, which is where most children are in third grade. So the same sheet appears on two or three of these pages, and that is the honest answer rather than a lapse: a sheet for nine to twelve belongs to the fourth-grader and the seventh-grader both.
If your child is working a year either side of their class, the neighboring page is the one to use and nothing here will disagree with you about it. Curriculum and grade levels differ by state, by country and by family, and a worksheet site that told you otherwise would be inventing a standard to sound authoritative.
The rest of the Print Shop
Ten shelves and ten school years, over the same sheets. A shelf is what a sheet is; a year is who it was drawn for, which every sheet states on its own page.

Your child’s name is not in the file
Where a sheet has a Name: line at all, it is printed blank and filled in with a pencil. Nothing is uploaded to make one, no account is needed to print one, and a sheet you send to another family carries the settings you chose and nothing else — see what we don’t collect.
