3-Digit Addition Worksheet for Kids
Adding two three-digit numbers requires children to work through the ones, tens, and hundreds columns in order and understand how a sum in one column can carry over into the next, a significant step up from single-digit addition. For ages six to eight, mastering this column-based process builds the procedural fluency needed for all future multi-digit arithmetic.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first addition problem together and identify the ones, tens, and hundreds columns before starting to solve. Have your child add the numbers in the ones column first, writing the result and carrying over a digit to the tens column if needed. Move to the tens column next, then the hundreds column, adding each in order and writing the digit for each place value. Continue through the remaining problems on the page, checking that your child is working through the columns in the correct order each time.
