About these thanksgiving for 3rd graders worksheets
These Thanksgiving worksheets for 3rd graders practice the big skills of the year with a harvest theme. In math, children solve multiplication and division word problems about pies, parade bands and the food drive, write a two-step equation with a letter for the unknown, color a turkey by multiplying, work out elapsed time on a cooking schedule, tell area from perimeter at the dinner table and read a scaled bar graph of favorite Thanksgiving foods.
In reading there is an original nonfiction text about the giant parade balloons and a story about a class thank-you chain, each with text-based questions. Children also write an opinion piece about the best side dish and a true story about a time they felt thankful, and practice abstract nouns and the conjunctions and, but, or and so. Every page is black and white, prints on US Letter or A4, and pages with one right answer have an answer key at the end of the PDF. For younger grades, see Thanksgiving Worksheets; for every Thanksgiving math page in one place, see Thanksgiving Math Worksheets.

Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
How to use them
- Use one math page and one reading or writing page a day in the week before the break.
- On the word problems, ask children to draw the equal groups or a bar model before they write the number sentence.
- Read the parade balloon text together first, then let children reread it alone to answer the questions.
- Hang the finished opinion pieces in the hall as a "best side dish" vote, then graph the results as a class.
Teaching tips
- On the color by number, children who know a fact by heart can skip ahead; others can keep a times table chart nearby.
- For elapsed time, a quick open number line (jump to the next hour, then the rest) beats counting on a clock face.
- If area and perimeter get mixed up, have children trace the edge with a finger for perimeter and shade the inside for area.
- Families celebrate in many ways, and some do not celebrate Thanksgiving. The skills work just as well as fall practice.
Questions teachers and parents ask
What is on these Thanksgiving worksheets for 3rd graders?
Multiplication and division word problems, two-step problems, a turkey color by number, an elapsed time cooking schedule, area and perimeter, a scaled bar graph, two reading passages, opinion and narrative writing, abstract nouns and conjunctions: 12 pages in all.
Do the pages have answer keys?
Yes. Every page with one right answer has an answer key at the end of the same PDF. The writing pages have no key because answers vary; use the checklist at the bottom instead.
Are the reading passages original?
Yes. The parade balloon text and the thank-you chain story were written for these pages at a 3rd grade level, and the facts in the nonfiction text were checked.
Is there anything about pilgrims?
No. The pages are about family, food, the harvest, the parade and being thankful, so they work for every classroom.
